Sunday’s Coming ~ August 7, 2016
Welcome to August at Trinity! It’s hard to believe that summer vacations are soon over, practices and preparations for fall have begun, and school will soon begin.
But, before we turn the page on Summer worship, we have one more message on grace. Each week we’ve met a different character or heard a different story where someone’s life experienced a serious mess. Each week we saw God’s grace show up and restore what was broken, heal what was wounded, and, especially, point to our ultimate grace received in Jesus.

Sunday’s Coming ~ July 31, 2016
All summer we’ve been digging into some messy stories in the Bible. We are seeing again and again, in a variety of ways, how life gets messy. But we also see how God’s grace in the person and work of Jesus brings us healing and wholeness for his glory and kingdom.
This week’s mess is just, well, it’s just weird. This guy named Samson is chosen by God before he is born to be very special. He even seems to have super powers because of his long hair. If I didn’t know this was in the Bible, I would think it was some kind of new X-Men movie.

Sunday’s Coming ~ July 24, 2016
I’ve been working on this message for a couple weeks. For some, I think the word from Luke 18 will be familiar. But I think that for all of us, if we allow ourselves to listen to what the text is saying, this text will shake some junk loose in our soul. It will free us to be truly loved by God and experience whatever mess our life has become to be made beautiful by his grace in Jesus.
