Christ will make you a fisher of men. Just as God builds His Church like an expert shipbuilder, every one of us has a place in the body of Christ. When God claims us and and blesses us with the gifts from the Spirit, we all fit together to build up the church. We know that we are sinners and, like Peter and Isaiah, we may be afraid but we have the assurance of Christ’s message that He will be with us and will bless us with the gifts He has in store for us – this week on Sola Gratia.
Taste and see that the Lord is good. We are called to consume God’s word. We do this when we hear and read God’s word preached and in scripture, and when we come to the communion rail. But sometimes this can be a hard meal to eat. We can be intimidated or even upset by what we learn about ourselves. But God’s promise to be with us is more powerful than our worst fears or greatest doubts. Come learn how this is true for you.
