Community Sunday – 2025

The Savior We Needed – Matthew 9

Join us this Sunday as we celebrate Community Sunday – a week where our focus is on the fact that the gospel we pin our hopes on is meant to go beyond these walls. This week’s message will take a look at the compelling nature of Jesus Christ.

Sometimes it’s the simpler stories of Jesus that convey the most about the depth of Jesus’ love. In Matthew 9, Jesus is in a hurry. He’s rarely in a hurry, never in a rush. But He is here. A girl is dead. Jesus has been contacted by her father with an urgent mission to go and pray for her. Jesus got up, immediately, and went with His disciples to see the girl.

 But on the way – a new need arises. Humanity brushes past Him. Just as needy, just as broken. How does Jesus respond? In this story we find a Savior that we need. A Savior we could have never expected – but dearly, desperately, needed. Join us, and take a friend by the hand!
