Oasis Faith Community at Church of the Lakes United Methodist Church in Canton, Ohio. Meeting weekly at 11am under the direction of Associate Pastor Jared Priset.
In Mark 9 when we read about the transfiguration of Jesus, we see that Jesus revealed a glimpse of his glory to his disciples. We are not meant to stay in our “mountain top moments,” but to trust Jesus completely and carry his glory into the ordinary moments of life as well.

In Mark 1, we see the urgency that comes when we follow Jesus. This urgency stems from a realization that Jesus is the embodiment of the kingdom of God, we are called to follow Him, and He is everything we need.

In Matthew 11, we see John the Baptist grapple with doubt as he asks, “Jesus, are you the One?” We each have situations in our lives that cause us to doubt, but through this passage, we learn that Jesus exceeds all of our expectations.

During the baptism of Jesus, a voice from heaven proved his identity as the Son of God beloved by the Father. In our baptism, the water reminds us of the cleansing of our sins, and a new birth through the Lord.

In Matthew 2, we read about the Magi seeking Jesus by following a star. This demonstrates God’s pursuit of us through signs and wonders, the global nature of salvation, and the truth that we have all been tasked with carrying the light to those who have not yet known it.

Jesus calls us to leave a legacy of love with every interaction that we have. That means, we are to extend ourselves for the benefit of others, even when it doesn’t make sense.

The first of the signs of Jesus is supplying the source of abiding joy for a wedding feast. In a world that is often searching for joy in all the wrong places, Jesus reminds us that when we do whatever he tells us, we experience real glory.

Jesus asks “What are you looking for?” We are invited to come and see for ourselves that the Jesus way of service and sacrifice leads to eternal and abundant life.
