Introducing Faith Connections: A Weekly Video Series

Faith Connections is the name of our new weekly video series, launching Wednesday, March 6, 2024. Each video will be a short, focused reflection on how faith connects to everyday life.

The Bible’s book of Hebrews, particularly chapter eleven, has often been called the “faith chapter,” where faith is defined as, “confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1-2, NIV). This chapter explores how people lived out their faith, showing us how faith connects our everyday experiences with the unseen presence of God.

In faith, we’re called to connect the human with the divine, making sense of life’s experiences through our relationship with God.

Growth Through Connection
Author Ken Robinson once wrote about the importance of seeing connections:

"Growth comes through analogy, through seeing how things connect rather than only seeing how they might be different."

In Faith Connections, we hope that you’ll see your faith more clearly through the connections we make together. Our first video in the series will focus on joy—a gift that continually opens our eyes to God’s presence in life’s details. As we explore joy, may it help us to see Jesus in both the ordinary and extraordinary moments.

Masterplan for a More Joyful World

To close, here’s an inspiring quote from Brad Montague on joy, shared in our first video:

Joy is more than confetti and more than pancakes. Joy is rebellious. Joy knows there are challenges but shows up anyway. Joy points us back to who we are. It’s waiting to be found and hoping to be shared.

So here’s the plan: find joy. Share joy. Repeat.

Blessings,
