Summary

This Sunday, Pastor Ashley Anderson continued our Missional Formation series, where we are exploring what we believe are the “core competencies” of living life on mission with Jesus. This week we learned about the distinctive of The Redemptive Edge and the discipline of blessing beyond barriers. In His final few moments with His disciples in Matthew 25, Jesus prepared them for His death, resurrection, ascension, and future return. He spoke explicitly on the coming day of the Lord, where He will return in the fullness of His glory with all the angels, and the nations will be gathered before Him as He judges them according to their treatment of the poor and oppressed. Pastor Ashley called us to reevaluate our posture towards the poor against the heart Jesus clearly holds for the marginalized and oppressed.
