Thoughts From This Week's Leader

For the Week of March 29, 2026

For the Week of March 29, 2026

The things that we have been talking about in our 20-somethings group, and things Joe and Dave have been preaching, have been echoing in my head.  The things we do, our actions, have to have meaning behind them (love). It isn’t about just the WORDS we use with each other, but our actions with each other as well. 

We have a very diverse group in the 20 somethings, men from all different faith and ethnic backgrounds, and we have talked about how being different is a good thing.  It allows us to embrace our qualities and reach more people,  than demanding people be just like us.  We have freedom in Christianity, too see other values and fruits in others, and grow better as people when we don’t diminish our own qualities, which accentuate Christ and His church.

Praise

Praise


Praise that the Redeemer listens to us.

1 John 5:14-15

We live in the bold confidence that God hears our voices when we ask for things that fit His plan. And if we have no doubt that He hears our voices, we can be assured that He moves in response to our call.

Lament

Some of the young adults in the group really struggle with anxiety…the wars in the world and the fear of being drafted.  Help us to be genuine with our love even when we don’t see it around us.

1 Corinthians 13:1

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

Galatians 5:22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Hope

Hope

One of the thieves that hung next to Jesus, he didn’t need the right words.  He didn’t need to get his dogma right.  He just needed to be willing to love in a situation of un-lovable circumstance. 

Luke 23:39-43   One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at Him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save Yourself and us!”

But the other criminal rebuked Him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”

Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in paradise.”
