Bible Text: Luke 5:1-11 An encounter with the risen Christ typically brings about a radical reorientation that can change the course of our lives forever. The peace of His presence, the healing in His hand, and the power of His word cause a divine disruption in us that reinvigorates what is stale and stagnant. We are set on a new path with hearts and minds that are born again in Jesus. Join us this summer as we look at how our God - who is never changing, but ever renewing – invites us to be transformed afresh in His presence.

Bible Text: Revelation 22:2 As a Faith Village, we understand that Jesus calls us to be ambassadors of hope, humility, and hospitality in our world. As we do, God’s reconciliation and healing are enabled across all domains of life. But the world is a big place, so most of our time, energy, and resources are focused on equipping and encouraging those who attend EBCLA on Sundays to do that in their own home, neighborhood, and community. We aim to “tithe” about 10% of our budget to support ambassador work outside our immediate context. We typically call that "missions," and those we send out "missionaries." This three-week series seeks to clarify and challenge our partnership with those people and the work they do as ambassadors of Jesus.
