Right in the Christmas story, we read the incredible mystery and wonder of what God has done for us.
How you respond to Jesus depends entirely on whether you’ve truly grasped who He is—and in John 6, as Jesus walks across the sea to His disciples in the dark, He makes that question impossible to dodge.
Melanie takes us to the question “What does God require in the ninth and tenth commandments,” the twelfth question of the New City Catechism to help us start the consideration of the question ahead of this week’s Sunday School Express.

We all arrive at Advent carrying something broken—a diagnosis, a fraying relationship, a season that feels anything but joyful—and our instinct is right: we want God to fix it. In John 6, the crowd feels exactly that after watching Jesus feed five thousand people, so they move to do something about it. The question the passage presses on us is whether we actually understand what problem he came to fix.
Pastor Tim takes us to the question “What Does God Require in the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Commandments,” the eleventh question of the New City Catechism to help us start the consideration of the question ahead of this week’s Sunday School Express.

The holidays can bring back the empty chair, the family hurt, the memories of when everything felt joyful—and before long, sorrow and anxiety begin to take over. The words of Romans 8 help us in times when grief feels stronger than truth.
Jim takes us to the question “What does God require in the fourth and fifth commandments?,” the tenth question of the New City Catechism, as part of the launch of Sunday School Express.
What (or whom) do we trust in when everything seems uncertain? David takes us on a journey to the right place of trust as we continue in Psalm 6.
