For your convenience and as an outreach of our ministry, this video is shared from our Sunday Worship Service. This week we read from Nehemiah 8, Psalms 19, and Luke 4 with a sermon by Pastor Scott Crowder. An excerpt, "In Luke we see Jesus showing that a new reality has come. He’s here. He’s bringing with him conversion itself for things to be radically changed from one thing to another, one kind to another, one way of being to another. For you and I this isn’t simply a call to individual relationship with Jesus. This is a call into the being of Christ’s body, being part of the reality that which is Christ. He calls us not into an isolated version of ourselves walking with him, but his body, which is another way of saying his Church. We become not just saved people, we become the co-laborers, the presence of him upon the earth. We are not Christ, we are of him. We belong to him, which we show by walking in his footsteps."
