In this powerful message, we explore the profound calling Jesus gave to his 72 disciples, and how it applies to our lives today. The scripture from Luke 10 reminds us that we are all called to be laborers in God's harvest. Just as Jesus sent out his followers with specific instructions, we too are commissioned to share the good news. The parallels between sowing seeds in a field and spreading the Gospel are beautifully illustrated, emphasizing how small beginnings can yield abundant results. We're challenged to step out in faith, trusting God to provide all we need for our spiritual journey. This message encourages us to rejoice not in our own accomplishments, but in the fact that our names are written in heaven – a powerful reminder of God's grace and love for each of us.

Andy Lindstrom shares reflections of our recent mission trip to Spirit Lake, North Dakota.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the profound truth that God is with us, always and everywhere. Drawing from Joshua 1:9, we're encouraged to be strong and courageous, knowing that the Lord our God is with us wherever we go. This isn't just a Christmas sentiment - it's a year-round reality that should shape our daily lives. The concept of 'Emmanuel' - God with us - isn't confined to a season; it's a constant presence that comforts us in hardship and rejoices with us in good times. We're challenged to not only recognize God's presence but to carry His love, grace, and compassion into the world, becoming vessels of His Spirit. This message invites us to reflect on how we can live out this truth, sharing God's presence with others in tangible ways.
