Happy Monday, Church! Thank you for praying for us (elders) throughout the weekend as we retreated and on Sunday.

As you continue to pray and walk with Jesus throughout the week, here are the specific reflections Steve shared.

Beginning this Sunday and continuing through August, Discovery Church and Redemption Hill will gather for worship together each Sunday morning at 10:30 AM.



This is a nine-week summer experiment designed to help both congregations strengthen relationships, support one another, and share ministry resources during the sometimes lean summer months. We will worship and celebrate communion together and then both churches will continue with their own teaching separately.



Summer Schedule (July 5-August 30)



10:00 AM - Coffee & Fellowship - Come early to connect with each other.



10:30 AM - Combined Worship - We will gather together for worship, prayer, and communion. Video streaming will be available on Discovery’s YouTube channel as usual (assuming AV crew is sufficient.)



Around 11:00 AM - Teaching Gatherings

Discovery will remain in the sanctuary for our sermon and teaching time.
Redemption Hill will transition to Sunday School classes elsewhere throughout our campus.
Children are welcome either in the Discovery gathering or in Redemption Hill Kids Ministry.


12:00 PM - Kids Ministry Pickup - Parents with children participating in Redemption Hill Kids Ministry should pick them up at noon



Approximately 12:15 PM - “Second Service” at Idaho Pizza Company

Two weeks ago at the Jubilee Celebration Picnic, pastor Hagath Mwamba from said, "Today, we are not Light of the Nations. We are Discovery Church.

Over the past couple of weeks, we are not Discovery Church, we "are Redemption Hill."

Saturday, Jan 31—Fasting Inaction and Idle Words

Read: Is 58:12-14; Mark 3:1-4, James 1:19-27; 2:12-17

Reflect: The end of Isaiah 58 challenges us about how we think of a “day of fasting” and a “day of Sabbathing.” Neither are just “days” but instead lifestyles of God’s redeemed people. And all “our days” aren’t to be used for whatever we prefer and to say what we want. Idle words and empty promises that result in nothing meaningful are called out as dishonorable. God calls into action: rebuilding what is ruined, raising up what is solid, repairing breaches, and restoring ways for living.

Act: Consider what temptations to return to “normal life” will come for you as we formally end this time of fasting and prayer tomorrow. What will reassert dominance in your heart, mind, body, and schedule? Do the words rebuild, raise up, repair, or restore stir up any faith in you towards action? If so, listen for the Lord’s voice and write down things you need to act on and invite a close friend to be a witness to your intentions.

Pray: Father, you are so gracious and patient with me. I am thankful for the ways you have revealed your heart to me during this time. I don’t want to stop true fasting, and I acknowledge you are calling me to something deeper than I expected. Continue to open my eyes, break my heart, and renew my mind towards those in need around me. Show me how I should act in random moments and what intentional plans I should make to walk with the broken in humility, knowing when I do, I’m walking with you, Jesus. Let it be so.

**Celebrating the Fast** Sunday, February 1

9-10:30 AM Redemption Hill, Sanctuary

11-1 PM Discovery Soup Lunch

2:30-5 PM Light of All Nations, Sanctuary

We have arranged for Discovery Church to join Redemption Hill’s 9 AM service with them. Come with a humble heart to worship with the dear brothers and sisters who share our building. The Light of All Nations worship service at 2:30 PM is open to visitors too.

We will break our fast at 11 AM with a soup lunch, fellowship, and celebration of what God has been deepening in us. Although this time of intensity will end, our hope is that there will be lasting changes in our lives. Prepare to share what God has done and is doing on this day. Some questions for reflection and sharing together.

--What metanoia are you having that God may be putting a finger on? What may need to change in your thinking and actions because of it?

--What do you see God is doing in this church right now with regards to the issues we’ve been praying about?

--Has God been causing your light to rise, your healing to come more quickly, guiding you more clearly, or dry places in your spirit to spring forth during this time?

Friday, Jan 30—Fasting Busyness Read: Gen 2:2-3, Isa 58:13-14, Ez 20:10-12, Matt 11:28-30, Mark 2:23-28, Luke 10:25-37 R...

Friday, Jan 30—Fasting Busyness

Read: Gen 2:2-3, Isa 58:13-14, Ez 20:10-12, Matt 11:28-30, Mark 2:23-28, Luke 10:25-37

Reflect: Our 21st Century Western culture has largely grown addicted to filling every spare moment with productivity, entertainment, and comfort. How does busyness and hyperactivity in your life and schedule affect your relationships? (Think UP-IN-OUT.) Does your lifestyle keep you from stopping to help others in need, in the gentleness and humility of Jesus’ life?

Act: Reflect on this past week. Has it been slower or busier than normal? What has made a difference in either direction? Are there areas in your life where God is asking you to let go of your busyness in order to do the Father’s business? Make a list of what comes to mind for more prayerful consideration.

Pray: Jesus, You are Lord of the Sabbath and want me to experience being tied to you, not as a burden but as a place of rest. Yoke me to you; teach me to walk gently and in humility with you, my Lord and my God. Show me the burdens that you don’t intend for me to carry any longer. Give me strength to lay them down. Let the bandwidth this creates in my life be for your purposes, not my own.

Thursday, Jan 29— Fasting Appearances

Read: Isa 58:2 and 6, Prov 11: 3, Mat 15:7-9, 23:23, 1 Chron 28: 9-10, Eph 6:7-8

Reflect: Oh, how easy it is to focus on the outward appearance or behavior, our own or others, and this can take many forms. We can sometimes think we’re doing all the right things, we’re even eager to know God’s ways and for Him to come near. We may eke out obedience to the minutest detail (a tenth of your mint), as in Jesus’ time. But, throughout Scripture and until Jesus returns, God is after people’s whole hearts. He sees through appearances and looks for us to be sincere with him and with others.

In what ways have you “neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy, and faithfulness”? (Is Jesus recalling Micah 6:8 here?) What similarities are there between walking humbly with God and faithfulness? Are there any ways that your outward activity is mismatched with your heart?

Act: Repent and believe the Good News! Jesus doesn’t search our hearts to mock us, nor to punish us. He reveals our hearts to ourselves so he can heal us and so we can participate in the process. As the Spirit brings your attention to what others cannot see within you, enter into confession (agreement with him), repentance (turning, changing your mind to align with his truth), and believe (live out the newly realized truth). Ask someone or a small group of people to walk with you through the Kairos/Learning Circle.

Pray: Dear, kind Jesus, search out any hypocrisy in me—any place where I have shined up my appearance to cover up what is not yet right within me; any place in me that has become an empty, fragile wineskin, and any place where I’ve trusted more in the rules than in your presence.

Wednesday, Jan 28 —Fasting Self-Importance Read: Matt 23:5-12, Luke 14:7-14, 17:9-14, 20:46-47, Rom 12:3, James 1:9-11 R...

Wednesday, Jan 28 —Fasting Self-Importance

Read: Matt 23:5-12, Luke 14:7-14, 17:9-14, 20:46-47, Rom 12:3, James 1:9-11

Reflect: While it is certainly not wrong to be lauded for good works or character, our human nature can easily crave such attention. This can be as simple as putting on airs, seeking opportunity for commendation and public praise, or progressing into full-blown narcissism. Jesus repeatedly warned against looking to Israel’s leaders who considered themselves better than everybody else, and instead pointed to those who walked humbly with God, such as the widow who offered just about everything she had to Him.

Act: Do you feel that you should be served by others or “go first” because of your stage in life, your socio-economic standing, your achievements or anything else? Can you identify areas of your life where you put yourself in the important seat, whether through subtle moves or overt request? Ask Jesus to show you what I might look like to place yourself at the back of the line this week without drawing attention to it.

Pray: Father, I confess it is so natural to use myself as a self-reference for everything in the world around me. But you have the power to reorient me to think more like you did, coming not to be served, but to serve and to give up your rights. Reveal to me the subtly of any pride or hubris I carry, inflating my own importance. Teach me neither to puff myself up or depreciate myself, but to walk in the measure of grace you have given me.
