Calvary Link: God is Good

Calvary-Link-God-is-Good-2016What an awesome day we had at Father's Day in the Park! Over 2000 of us filled the park in the heart of our city to worship and glorify God together. I bet Kurt and I weren't the only ones snapping selfies with the crowd.

Spending those few hours in the park was a wonderful reminder that God is good and offers us moments of respite in the midst of busyness, trouble, and pain. As I said on Sunday, this world is not as it should be. The evil we see around us tells us that. But we Christ-followers have a great hope. The God who came to suffer with us and for us is coming again to make all things new.

This week, our students are revealing God's goodness to the people in Kalamazoo, MI. They're joining 50+ other student to serve Kalamazoo Gospel Mission's shelters and donation centers. During the day, they'll be building relationships with people in the community and looking for ways to help KGM reach as many as possible with aid and the hope of the gospel. At night, they'll be at Miracle Camp. I'm proud of these students for giving up a traditional summer camp experience to serve God and others. This is what it means to be the church. You can keep up with them on Facebook and Instagram.

I can't wait to worship with you again this Sunday. We're continuing The Way series in Acts all summer. Don't miss it!
