What is Jesus really doing?

4/28/2023

 

STOP READING!  Find your Bible, turn to Luke 5, and read verses 1-11.  Now you can continue reading.

Think for a moment about this scene.  Ask yourself, "What is Jesus really doing?"  Is there more to this story than Jesus teaching the crowd, providing Peter, James and John, with a dinner-table worthy fishing story, and asking them to be his first disciples?  In the word(s) of Pastor Avery from Common Ground..."Pondering"...

As we conclude our series, Encounters with Jesus, I would like us to consider our own experiences with Jesus.  Just like with the story from Luke 5, it's important for us to recognize that Jesus has this great habit of not just meeting us when we are in a "happy place" or, feeling especially "holy" or spiritual.  Jesus equally meets us in moments of weakness, confusion, doubt, pain and loss.  He encounters us where we are, he uses what we have, and through us, he communicates something of himself and his kingdom to the people around us.  My hope is that through this series you have been reminded that wherever you are, however you may feel, that Christ is still using you for His purpose. 
 
Join us on Sunday, at 9:30am, as we are given the opportunity, through one final encounter, to see and experience the heart of God.  A heart that cares.  A heart that provides relief from pain and fear.  A heart that heals.  A heart that forgives.

"Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so."

Last minute invite:  Tomorrow (Saturday) at 7:30pm, the Rose City Flute Choir, (of which our very own Kathy Collins is a member), will be performing here at Calvary Parkside.  They performed for us during Christmas, and even played for one of our Sunday services.  I'm excited to hear what they have in-store for us this time!

Connecting with one another authentically is one of the core values of Calvary Parkside, and one of the best ways to connect with others is through our Sunday Adult Discipleship class.  This class meets every Sunday at 11:00am.  Consider joining others at Calvary Parkside as they study the last days of Jesus, as recorded in the book of John.

Calvary Parkside Membership Class:  Sunday May 7th @ 11:00am.  Sign-up using the Connect Card or stop by the Next Step Table.

Attached is this week's prayer list.

See you Sunday.

Doug
