What a powerful Sunday at Diversity Church! We aren't just hearing about what God can do, we're seeing the evidence of His hand at work in our church and around the world. We were blessed to welcome the Pongratz family, who shared about their missional work in South Africa. Hearing firsthand how God is moving and changing lives was an incredible reminder that we are part of something so much bigger than ourselves.
After an amazing time of worship, Pastor Jonathan Ember continued The Dungeon of Despair with a powerful new message titled "I'm Shook." Through the story of Paul and Silas in prison, Pastor Jonathan contrasted their response to the earthquake with that of the jailer. The same shaking affected them very differently, reminding us that when life shakes everything around us, what matters is what our foundation is built on. Without God, the things we've placed our hope in can quickly crumble beneath us.
But the jailer's story didn't end in hopelessness. In the very moment he thought everything was lost, God was already working toward his rescue. He encountered Jesus, and his entire household was baptized! What a beautiful reminder that God WANTS to save us. When our foundations are shaken and despair tells us there is no hope, Jesus is still there, ready to rescue, restore, and give us a foundation that cannot be shaken.
