Join us at the Reunion Church at 6:30 pm on the Plaza for 6:30 PM for a Potluck Dinner and Traditional Seder Celebration
Sometime later that evening, after supper, in the home of Simon (whom Jesus had healed from leprosy), it became quite apparent that none of His disciples had really been listening to the important things that Jesus had been saying.
The Rabbi Jesus found favor with the people, further confounding and infuriating the Pharisees. They did not like this messenger or His message, and so their pride and arrogance kept them from hearing the truth that He taught. They did not want their authority or positions challenged by anyone; particularly someone who was now in the Temple and on the streets claiming to be God. After this day, the Pharisees would no longer just be harmless antagonists or religious critics, they would now become evil conspirators against Jesus – knowing they must stop Him and end the threat to their place of power and piety.
Chuck Girard was a founding member of the band Love Song at Calvary Chapel Church in Costa Mesa, CA, where the Jesus Revolution began. Chuck was dramatically saved, called into ministry, and hasn’t stopped leading others into the Presence of His Savior for a single moment since. Join us on Sunday morning, April 16th, 2023 at 10:30 am as Chuck and the Reunion Worship Band lead us in joyful worship, and Dr. Steve Isaac delivers a powerful message from God’s Word at our non-denominational church in Peoria AZ.
In April, we have wonderful, life-impacting opportunities to celebrate, grow in faith, and minister to those around us. Anticipation is building as we grow closer to Holy Week and the opportunity to retrace the final earthly footsteps of Jesus. The Holy Week Journey that the Reunion Church embarks on together is such a high point each year – a profound, intimate time with our Lord and deep, meaningful fellowship with one another. Our Holy Week gatherings allow us to create opportunity to share in the journey of Jesus as He deliberately moved towards the cross to save us.
February was an exciting month at our Christian church in Peoria, AZ. The presence of God has been tangible as Pastor Steve unfolded the Holy Spirit inspired vision – “2023 for The Reunion Church” coupled with deep teaching from God’s Word, worship that renews us, and love for God and one another that continues to transform us.
God calls us to use every gift and biblical training we have been given to impact our families, city, and nations around the world.
Pastor Steve Isaac continues to unfold the God-given vision for 2023. The message is titled “Living in the 521”, and revolves around Matthew 25:14-30, known as the Parable of the Talents. The Master gives talents (5, 2, and 1) to three different servants each according to their skill and ability – and then he goes away. His return, response, and expectations are uniquely significant, and entirely relevant to us in real time as we look forward to 2023 for the Reunion Church.
Pastor Steve expands on the God-given vision for 2023. Week two of the “2023 for the Reunion Church” series is titled “Enlarging the Tents and Stretching Out the Curtains.” The message is based on Isaiah 54:1-3 where God gives a message to Jerusalem about the need to enlarge, stretch, and strengthen in preparation for blessing and expansion. The same is true for God’s plans for the Reunion Church in 2023.
I want to share a brief snippet of what the Lord has graciously given me to share. During my prayer and quiet time over the last two months of 2022, the Lord began to “Holy Spirit download” the vision template of 2023 for the Reunion Church. This template came with both clarity and confirmation from within and without. Meaning simply that God used visible signs, trusted relationships, solid foundations from the past, and most importantly, the sudden impact of the living and written Word of God.
We are so very grateful for the faithfulness and grace of God over the Reunion Church and the wonderful people God has called to be a part it. His faithfulness and grace include providing wisdom and direction when we seek Him for it. As a result of several months of seeking God for His vision and purposes for the Reunion Church in 2023, we are so excited to share the “Holy Spirit” download that we have been given.
