This Sunday, Pastor Suzy continued our Converting the Church series by unpacking Jesus's third woe to the Pharisees regarding promise-breaking and promise-keeping. As followers of Jesus, we must become a community whose "yes" means "yes," and "no" means "no." In keeping our word, we reflect our promise-keeping God, and can offer the stability we have recived from His unfailing faithfulness to the people around us.

Converting the Church: Converts of Hell - Jon Tyson

This Sunday, Pastor Jon unpacked Jesus’ second ‘woe’ to the Pharisees in Matthew 23, where He called out their toxic evangelism converting people into children of hell instead of children of Heaven. We are challenged to reflect on how we can bring the good news of Jesus to people without the coercion and cultural baggage that seems to do so much damage. Jesus promises that if He is lifted up, He will draw all people to Himself and satisfy them. All we are called to do is present the free gospel to the thirsty world, and it will bring the Kingdom of Heaven and turn people into children of God.

To be disciples of Jesus, we need to be like Him and weigh with the actions of our lives and our motivations against His words, and make sure we can see clearly, discern, and practice the things that truly matter to the heart of God.
