His Eyes - The Book of Judges
In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes. But they are never far from His eyes.

[Sunday] Easter Peace - Comfort Comfort
Even with the glorious news of Christ's resurrection, the disciples remained hidden, burdened by their actions. Yet, Christ arrives, a beacon of hope and unreserved comfort, offering peace in the midst of their doubt.
Even with the glorious news of Christ's resurrection, the disciples remained hidden, burdened by their actions. Yet, Christ arrives, a beacon of hope and unreserved comfort, offering peace in the midst of their doubt.
QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: Comfort Comfort: Easter Peace
Can you think of a time you hid from something difficult? What was it, and how did you eventually move forward?
Read John 20:1-23. The disciples were hiding after the resurrection. Why do you think they might be hiding, even though they know Jesus has risen?
Jesus shows up not hiding anything, leading with his wounds. How does the concept of Jesus’ sacrifice and his wounds change the way you view forgiveness and comfort that comes from Jesus?
Jesus encourages us to forgive others. Filled with the Spirit of Christ, how can you bring that peace and forgiveness to others?

[Sunday] Hosanna - Comfort Comfort
As Palm Sunday dawns, confusion swirls around Jesus' identity and mission. Jesus' final prayer is a plea for God's continued protection and unity amidst His followers' trials. This all foreshadows the sacrifice that will ultimately bring oneness through His resurrection.

Information about my travels
On Tuesday, March 19th, Missionary Flights International carried 4 passengers, including myself from the United States to Haiti. As there is so much turmoil in Haiti at this time, the flight experienced turbulence for the entire 4 and half hour trip giving us a preview of what was to come. We landed safely in Cap Haitien to clear through customs and then continued our journey to our final destination in Pignon, Haiti. Unfortunately, people here are starving. I am grateful to MFI because I had an opportunity to bring in some ramen noodles, dry milk, peanut butter and medical supplies for 100 people but it's just not enough. The people all over Haiti are struggling because of the violence in Port au Prince. It has blocked aid and everyday necessities from getting to small villages because there is no gas to travel. Staple products such as rice, beans and oil are too expensive to buy when they are available so families are going without.
Habitat For Children Ministries is about 3 and half hours from the capital of Port au Prince but we are feeling the effects through the widespread hunger. We know that we can't feed everyone but the more help that we can get, the better the people of Haiti will be. I have been talking with people in the United States for future food shipments but the Haitian families need help now. We at Habitat want to continue our efforts in helping as much as we can for as long as needed because we know of the political hardships that continuously affect this country.

Habitat for Children On the News
Great news report on what is happening in Haiti
Great article about What we are doing in Haiti
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. —
As so many people scrambled to leave Haiti, a Port St. Lucie man fought to get himself back in.
Meschac St Amour is a native Haitian who now lives on the Treasure Coast.
He is the president of a Port St. Lucie organization called Habitat for Children Ministries, which serves children in Haiti.
Port St Lucie nonprofit struggling to get supplies to children in Haiti
St Amour was able to get a missionary flight to Haiti on Tuesday, expecting the worst when he landed.
He said he still wasn’t prepared for what he found.
“It’s much worse than what I was thinking,” he said.
St Amour brought with him supplies for the country, including 1,500 pounds of food.
He is carefully giving it away where it’s most needed, though he had planned to share it with everyone.
“It can’t work like that. That’s what we were hoping,” St Amour said. “But it can’t work like that. Because right now, you’re going to start something you can’t finish.”
St Amour said his village is far away from the Haitian capital of Port au Prince.
That’s where the majority of the violence has been over the last several weeks.
St Amour said there’s no violence where he is, but they are still suffering.
“A shortage of food, gas,” he said. “Anything you can think of to feed a family.”
St Amour said most people are unable to find medicine or medical care.
These shortages are why he left the Treasure Coast to return to Haiti.
He said he wants to help however he can until Haiti can once again recover.
“Haiti is not going to die,” he said. “There’s some that are going to believe in it, and some that are not going to believe. But I believe one day, Haiti is going to come back.”
St Amour is asking those who want to help to do so through his organization’s website.

[Sunday] Plainly Overcome - Comfort Comfort
As we approach the crucifixion, Jesus is giving comfort amidst coming hardship, revealing a deeper connection with the Father and to peace despite future scattering. All this echoes the story of Lazarus, where Jesus' power over death foreshadows His ultimate sacrifice for humanity.

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: Comfort Comfort: Plainly Overcome
When are times when you’ve felt scattered in the world? When are times when you’ve caused others to feel scattered?
Read John 16:25-17:6. Jesus says that He speaks plainly and to take heart that He’s overcome the world. Describe some times when Jesus was scattered. How does Jesus overcome those times?
What does it mean that Jesus overcame the world for you?

New Song, “The Power of The Cross"
New Lent Song
Here is Grace’s Recording for Sunday
On March 17th 2024 we are singing
“The Power Of The Cross”
(Keith Getty | Stuart Townend. CCLI Song # 4490766)
1. Oh to see the dawn of the darkest day
Christ on the road to Calvary
Tried by sinful men torn and beaten then
Nailed to a cross of wood
2. Oh to see the pain written on Your face
Bearing the awesome weight of sin
Ev'ry bitter thought ev'ry evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow
Chorus This the pow'r of the cross
Christ became sin for us
Took the blame bore the wrath
We stand forgiven at the cross
3. Now the daylight flees now the ground beneath
Quakes as its Maker bows His head
Curtain torn in two dead are raised to life
Finished the vict'ry cry (Chorus)
4. Oh to see my name written in the wounds
For through Your suff'ring I am free
Death is crushed to death life is mine to live
Won through Your selfless love
Closing This the pow'r of the cross
Son of God slain for us
What a love what a cost
We stand forgiven at the cross
Listen to the Orginial.

On the News! Talking about Haiti
Meshac and Pastor were talking about Haiti.
Lots of difficulty in Haiti right now.
We are working on a solution to get supplies in.
If you would like to send support to Haiti, please give here.
Choose Haiti in drop down.
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. —
For nearly 20 years, Habitat for Children Ministries has provided supplies to the children of Haiti.
Now, when the need is at its greatest, the group in Port St. Lucie is struggling to help.

“For me, seeing what’s going on right now, it hurts,” said Meschac St Amour.
St Amour grew up in Haiti and is now the president of Habitat for Children Ministries.
Cris Escher is the Vice President.
“We provide health care, food, community services for families, especially children, in Haiti,” Escher said.
Haiti is currently in turmoil.
Gang activity and widespread violence have left essentials like food, water, and medicine in very short supply.
Most residents have been forced to shelter and are unable to leave their homes.
“Sometimes, people are not just dying because of the gun activities,” St Amour said. “They’re starving.”
“With limited movement, without gas, without food, you can’t do that, and it’s scary,” Escher said.
Habitat for Children Ministries has about half a dozen people on the ground in Haiti trying to help.
But they’ve been unable to get much-needed supplies into the country.
The airports are controlled by the gangs, and the roads are shut down.
Despite that, St Amour and Escher promise they will find some way to get those supplies to those who need them.
Right now, they’re just not sure how they’ll do it.
“We’ve got to be ready,” St Amour said. “We’ve got to be ready when it’s open. Because right now, it’s hard. It is hard, so we have to keep them alive.”
“And that will happen,” Escher said. “And it’s going to happen soon.”
Because of the difficulty delivering supplies, Habitat for Children Ministries is asking for donations of money.
Donations can be made on their website.

Speaking of Living Together
What Had happened at Grace this week.
The Book of Judges, though a difficult read, confronts us with the ugly truth of how easily we turn away from God and calls us to acknowledge and confess our own sins instead of ignoring them or destroying others.
