Serving God and One Another

We cannot serve God if we do not follow Him – we will not follow Him if we do not love Him as He loves us – this is literal, not figurative or metaphorical.  God not only invites us but desires for us to love our life in Him more than we love our life in this world. 

God’s Love is Stonger Than Cupid

January has absolutely flown by! We were blessed with God answering our prayers for healing for Pastor Steve’s detached retina. And, thank you to everyone who prayed for “Chicago Donnie”, who had very serious AND very successful surgery. The Movement youth had a fruitful winter camp, and Pastor Gary Hay, a long-time friend of the Reunion Church, spent some time with us, delivering a powerful message on how to faithfully walk with God.

The “Where Do You Sit, Where Do You Serve” message from Pastor Steve has resonated on so many levels. God is moving people forward to serve in new ways, and some are stepping forward to serve for the first time at the Reunion Church.

A New Year’s Message From Pastor Steve

As we enter 2024, God is unfolding His plans for the Reunion Church – plans to use each of us in His Kingdom work. Pastor Steve’s message, “Where Do You Sit – Where Do You Serve,” is a challenge to each of us to step forward into our God-ordained places in His service. Serving God is our highest honor and greatest responsibility.

Monday of Holy Week

Jesus hungered, but He fed thousands; indeed, He is the bread of heaven that gives life to all mankind. He was thirsty—but He cried, “If any man thirsts let him come to Me and drink.” He promises that fountains will flow from all those who believe.

Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday at the Reunion Church in Peoria AZ provides the opportunity to look closely at the message of Jesus as He enters Jerusalem. “Die to live. Follow to lead. Serve to rule. Be last to be first. Get to give. Sacrifice to receive. Be silent to be heard. Be the least to be the most. Humble yourself to lift yourself. Surrender all to be free of all. Lose yourself to save yourself. End the old to begin the new. Love openly, forgive quickly, give freely, pray faithfully, and speak truthfully.”

Good Friday

Join us at the Reunion Church in Peoria AZ at 6pm for the Good Friday Gathering – Three Crosses, Three Nails, and the Three Final Words of Jesus

“A company of evildoers encircle me; they have pierced my hands and my feet—I can count all my bones…”

Faith – 4th Sunday of Advent

“As human beings, we discover that love can come to us in many ways, but the greatest love – God’s love, comes to us only in Christ. Using His example in response to the suffering and afflicted, there is no exploitation of hurting souls. In Christ, we do not dehumanize people regardless of their circumstances. We see no one person or persons as pitiful or victims, but as someone to love at the very moment of attention. There are many gifts that Christ came to earth to give to us – but this is the one gift that He asks us to give to one another. When we learn to love this way, we learn to see one another differently. How we perceive and view one another is critical to understanding the love that Christ came to give us.”
