Scripture for Sunday, July 26

Luke 18:35-43

As he drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” And he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight.” And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

Speaker: Elaine Poproski

Message Topic: Following Jesus means honestly confronting the idols that hold our hearts, while trusting that God's power—not our own efforts or possessions—is what makes faithful discipleship and eternal life possible.

Music

Listen to one of our newer songs.

Revelation 7:9-12 paints a picture of all the nations of the world standing before the throne of Christ, worshiping together with the angels. This song sounds like something those worshipers might be singing and invites us to join the heavenly worship.

Communion - this Sunday

Communion is a symbolic reenactment of the last supper Jesus shared with his disciples. The bread (gluten-free) and juice symbolize his death, point to his resurrection, and remind us that through his death he defeated the power of sin and death over us. Everyone is free to choose for themselves whether to participate or not.


DIG DEEPER into one of our recent sermons


When we become so focused on the details of life that we lose sight of the whole, Jesus invites us to step back and see from a different perspective. This sermon reminds us that Christ holds all things together and can be trusted even when we cannot see the way forward.

Questions for Reflection (Adults)

  1. What are the "trees" in your life right now—the details, responsibilities, opportunities, challenges, or concerns that are occupying most of your attention?
  2. Jesus was able to face suffering because he never lost sight of God's larger purpose. How might remembering God's larger story change the way you approach your current circumstances?
  3. Colossians reminds us that "in him all things hold together." What does this statement mean to you personally? How might it shape the way you think about your life, your relationships, or the world around you?
  4. What are some practices that help you "take a breath and remember Jesus" when life becomes overwhelming or all-consuming?

Questions for Reflection (Children)

  1. Have you ever been so busy or so focused on one thing that you forgot about everything else? What happened?
  2. When you have a hard day or feel confused, what are some ways you can stop, take a deep breath, and remember that Jesus is with you?
  3. The Bible says that Jesus holds all things together. What do you think that means? How does that make you feel?
  4. Is there something happening in your life right now that you would like to ask Jesus to help you with? What would you like to tell him?
