Refuge in God 

Jan 21, 2024
Linda Dew-Hiersoux

Rev. Brian McLaren writes about “Radical Resilience” in this way, “Each of those words is important. The word “radical” means going to the root, going to the depths, going beneath the surface…. So, radical resilience means radical, deep attention to the deepest roots of resilience. “Resilience” is the capacity to withstand and recover from hardship or difficulty. It has to do with the ability to spring back into shape after you’ve been beaten down or knocked over or bent over.”…

We allow ourselves to be amazed

Matt Smith

After Elizabeth gives birth, her neighbors and family celebrate with her. When it comes time to name the child, Zechariah affirms the name given by the angel and by Elizabeth. In that moment of affirming the promise, Zechariah’s speech is restored. Everyone is filled with awe. How often do you allow yourself to be amazed? Wonder is all around us—can we recognize it? As we learn how to rejoice in a weary world, can we live in a way that…

First Sunday of Christmas

Linda Dew-Hiersoux

Linda’s message on this First Sunday of Christmas is rooted in the story known as the “slaughter of the innocents” from Matthew 2:13-23. Soon after the birth of Jesus, Herod, wanting to preserve his own power, called for the murder of all boys under the age of 2. How might this ancient story speak as we seek to hold God’s promise of hope with the suffering that is carried out by those who hold power today?

While Paul’s letter to Philemon is often overlooked, this short book has been laid in the foundation of our Christian tradition. Matt’s message reflects on the impact of this short letter as an invitation to see through the eyes of God.

Subject: WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH BUT WE ARE JUDGED BY OUR WORKS. To the churches in my area, may God bless you, In the world today we learn of horrible things & we complain helplessly as we pass the messages on. We live in what seems to be a world of doom. So where are the solutions? There are solutions but… are they being intentionally silenced & hidden? Yes, we have solutions, but we have to stop being a ‘consumer only’ nation, waiting for everyone else to jump in to save us. “…that if any would not work, neither should he eat.” 2 Thessalonians 3:10. Churches have been secretly, intentionally & slowly divided to their ruin… can you see it? Then they don’t know what to do so they try to stay safe… we all do. But aren’t we called to train up disciples in all nations? We can’t do this if we are afraid, silent & divided. “For whosoever will save their life shall lose it, and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it.” Matthew 16:25. The unity of the church has untapped power in God, but He needs to hear from us… He needs us to be willing. America matters to God…. and it’s not just for us… the whole world depends on what happens to America. So in order to survive we need to unite and be the producers for God and country. It’s easier to save America now than it is to get it back once it’s gone. Think of our children and theirs. Here are two solutions: NewCaliforniaState.com New California State is the solution that uses the United States Constitution, just like the successful West Virginians did during the Civil War, to save their state AND our nation. God is here and in His power, America can be the next “Parting of the Red Sea” but we have to be present & repentant. ‘Let My People Go’, the movie/documentary by David Clement. rumble.com/v4hbzv0-full-movie-let-my-people-go-by-dr.-david-clements-watch-it-here.html?e9s=rel_v1_b David Clemet’s suppressed movie/documentary, “Let My People Go”, about election fraud and J6 is free for everyone to watch. This is a revealing appeal to ‘We the People’ and the Church to wake up from our indoctrination & brainwashing before our America is dead.
