🗣️SUNDAY SERMON RECAP: THE GREAT COMMISSION//THE HOLY SPIRIT//HELP THROUGH JESUS ✝️

The day is finally here! Super excited for the first night of VBS tonight! With VBS finally upon us, today we wrap up the 4th and final week of our True North sermon series. We are excited to make little disciples, as Jesus commanded us to do 💚⬇️

After Jesus’ resurrection (and before His ascension) the 11 disciples meet Him in Galilee, where He gives them the great commission (Matt 28:19-20) “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Since all authority in heaven & on earth has been given to Him (Matt 28:18) Jesus says to GO. He reminds his disciples that He will be with them always.

In Acts 1:8, Jesus tells his disciples of a great power they will receive when the Holy Spirit comes upon them, and they will also be His witnesses all over the world. There is true power in a person’s testimony!

As the disciples receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-12), they begin to speak in different languages — allowing them to communicate the Gospel to all people. Jesus said: make disciples, go make witnesses, & then receive the Holy Spirit.

It is our job as disciples of Jesus to therefore go and make more disciples. It’s important to let the Holy Spirit lead & guide you. Like Jesus reminded His disciples that He would always be with them, Jesus is always with us too.

When we need help, we can trust Jesus! When we need _______, we can trust Jesus! When we need anything, we can trust Jesus!

✝️SUNDAY SERMON RECAP✝️

One week til VBS starts! Today we continue on with our True North series, focusing on HOPE 🙏🏼

In Matthew 26:51-54, we see Peter draw his sword in defense of Jesus, who is being arrested in the garden. But when Peter tries to fix the problem, Jesus says stop: “Put your sword back into its place” (52). Jesus could call on his Father to send down 12 legions of angels to put a stop to His arrest, “But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?” (54). We must allow God’s will to be accomplished.

Even Peter who defends Jesus, later denies him 3 times. After Jesus is arrested, He is stripped, beaten, and mocked (Matt 27:27-31) by the Roman soldiers as well as the very same people who once shouted “Hosanna!” in the streets less than a week prior. Later, Jesus was even mocked by the robbers who were crucified next to him (44).

A sinless & perfect Jesus, who has the authority to lay His life down and take it up again (John 10:18), lays His life down of His own accord for all of us. Jesus did not have to suffer, but out of His gracious love for all mankind, He went through with it. Jesus gave himself up so we could have life.

However, we know the story of Jesus doesn’t end at His crucifixion because 3 days later He rises up from the tomb (Matt 28:3-8). And because the grave is empty, we see a prophecy fulfilled. And if the grave is empty, then we have hope! When we need hope, we can trust Jesus!
