Tune in on Sunday to learn what happens when bad tenants are left to tend the vineyard.  Listen as we hear the parable Jesus shared in the temple and determine how we can understand and learn from what Jesus was trying to tell us.

Last week focused on failures. This week we pick up where that conversation left off and focus on how God Transforms us through our faith in Jesus. If we allow Jesus to take hold of our hearts, we will be transformed into disciples. Tune in this week to learn some of the many ways we can be transformed by Jesus.

Friends, we gather on Sunday to worship the God who has provided a perfect High Priest, Jesus Christ. The Old Testament priests served with limitations, offering sacrifices repeatedly. But Jesus, through his own blood, has secured our salvation once and for all. Because of Jesus, we can approach God with confidence, knowing that our sins are forgiven and that he intercedes for us eternally. Let us worship him with hearts full of gratitude and reverence. Let us open our hearts to receive the blessings of God’s grace, remembering that Jesus’ sacrifice is sufficient for all who believe. Let us worship with awe and joy.

In John 6:56, Jesus says, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in them. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me lives because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. It isn’t like the bread your ancestors ate, and then they died. Whoever eats this bread will live forever.” Jesus is using this metaphor to speak about spiritual nourishment, and that he is the only source of true joy, satisfaction, and hope in life. He is equating himself with bread, which means he is essential for life, and that the life he is referring to is eternal life.
