[Sunday] Look Up - Missio Dei
They always looked down at Zacchaeus, but Jesus looked up at him. How would you respond if people were always throwing down what you love?

The Magi following the light of a star mirrors how God has always worked, giving a light to follow through the wilderness, away from the darkness that holds us down.
Christmas expectations are often Joshed. Yet the name Emmanuel breaks all expectations as Jesus comes to be with us.

[Sunday] Back to the Sheep - Missio Dei
When we ask for what is the greatest. Jesus points us to the way of the kingdom of God. The way of children, of sheep, and a Fox.

Church in this part of Haiti is different than what we are used to at Grace Lutheran PSL.
Their Sunday runs much of the day with food and celebration. Right now, when people are enjoying the body of Christ, they must travel to a tree blind to use the bathroom. Not to mention when out-of-towners visit this church there is nowhere close to use the facilities.
This is a photo of the Main Church we work with in Haiti and where the bathroom will be.
As you can see from the photos this church is a humble building. But it is a beacon of love and service in its community. On a typical sunday they will have around 100 poeple in attendance.
Pastor Bruno Lexene (pictured) works with Habitat for children ministries to serve his community.
This is the same community the “Girls” came from.
Most of the people who live in this community do not have bathrooms themselves. Many of their homes are on our project list at HFCM to build a kitchen and bathroom.
Photo at Pastor Bruno Lexene House.
You can tell its a pastors house becasue its set up as the community hangout. 10 Min walk to the church
Yes they worship 90 to 100 people a week here.

[Sunday] Ordinary Christmas - Missio Dei
Christmas comes with so much pomp and circumstance. From the decorated homes to all the gatherings, there is so much extra at Christmas. But where Christmas really shines is in the quiet of the ordinary.

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: Missio Dei: The Great Sending - Ordinary Christmas
Can you think of a time in your life that felt ordinary, but something good came out of it?
Read Luke chapters 1 & 2. What do you believe that you, as an ordinary-but-God-gifted person, can do to fulfill what God has sent you to accomplish?
Both John’s birth and Jesus’ birth were miraculous events. What miracle has God performed in your life that convinces you of his love and that gives you the courage to be His representative?
This story focuses on the very young (Mary and two babies) and the very old (Zechariah, Elizabeth, Simeon, and Anna). What role does your age play in fulfilling God’s calling in your life?

When we have wanted to avoid them at all costs to stay away from evil, Jesus prays, “My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
She was sitting in stagnant water, but Jesus gives her living water which floods her being and pushes her to give good news to so many in her town.
Look at the party the father is throwing. The whole town is there. Even that scoundrel Matt is there who stole from the father’s business. I can’t even believe he is throwing this party for that son who took everything from him. But did you hear about the drama with the older son? He is refusing to go into the party? After all, it was raining on the whole party.
They always looked down at Zacchaeus, but Jesus looked up at him. How would you respond if people were always throwing down what you love?

[Sunday] Be Perfect? - Say What - Jesus Said What?
Wait, are we really supposed to be perfect like God? That’s a lot of pressure! But what if the perfect is more like the completion of the seventh day? Perhaps, in the perfection, we will finally find rest.
Matthew 5:48
