Has it become another overused word, like Love, thrown around in a casual way? The Passion that we have to take risks, to achieve, and to serve others is very attractive. But we cannot ignore that this same Passion can lead us away from God. How is your passion affecting your relationship with God? Are you nurturing it? Join us at this month's fellowship or the Culture Club exhibit to MOBIA to examine these questions. Sincerely,

So it was when the Lordship of Christ triumphed over the might of imperial Rome. But there are still other times when history and the gospel appear to collide but, in fact, the gospel speaks to the deepest dilemmas and the highest aspirations of the age, even to those which oppose it.

P6X40 In response to the generosity of God—celebrated most fully during the week leading up to and including Easter—Redeemer is encouraging those who have experienced God's grace to extend it to others, (see Philemon 6) hence the title P6X40: 40 days of generously making room in our lives for others. We desire to challenge one another to think about our colleagues in the context of mission and re-purpose some of our time to that end. CFW and other ministry fronts have opportunities in which you can consider participating. Events & Details here... >> Top
