OnMission Gathering: Video
He ascended into Heaven.
The Ascension 2022.
Today we stand on Olivet – the Mount of Olives. Since the resurrection, hundreds of people saw Jesus alive, then, He gathered His disciples together here on Olivet, and as He ascended into Heaven resuming His place within the eternal majesty and glory of God, He sent to proclaim the good news of great joy to all people. From Olivet, that truth has radiated out transforming individuals, families, communities and countries. The true Church began here that day it’s work is truly an ongoing miracle of God’s Grace.
He is not here.
The Empty Tomb 2022.
Today we stand outside a tomb. The tomb is indeed empty. We again peer into this vault that was once sealed by sin and death. Jesus is not here. Can you imagine? He is risen. The implications are immense and the repercussions echo through eternity.
Who are you looking for?
Resurrection Sunday (Easter) 2022.
Today we are meditating on a controversial, yet factual event — the physical, biological bodily resurrection of Jesus. Like so much else today, doubts and questions have produced theories disguised as explanations that in fact muddy the waters, obscuring the Truth of the Gospel: Jesus Christ is risen - He is risen indeed!
Now we contemplate the question Jesus asks: “Why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?”
If You are who You claim to be, prove it!
Good Friday 2022
Today we stand at a distance - there are three crosses and three men dying. The man in the center is ridiculed and challenged. “IF You are who You claim to be, prove it.” It is in dying this Man’s character is revealed and His claims proven. In this death God reveals His Love. A death that man intended for evil, God uses for good on that Friday so long ago.
Do you still not know Me?
Maundy (Holy) Thursday
Today we're invited into the upper room for the last supper and we hear Jesus ask, “Do you still not know me?” We watch and listen as He uses the images of Exodus and covenant to lead us forward to new life. He offers us a new covenant; a covenant of Love in a Kingdom founded on Love given to all who know Him.
Who is this? … and why is He weeping?
Palm Sunday
Today we're watching as a Man on a donkey approaches Jerusalem. He's surrounded by a singing crowd, and the city is in turmoil - the question on every tongue that day is the question many have asked across the ages: who is this? As He approaches He's weeping. But why is He weeping? These are the questions OnMission is exploring today.
Why was Jesus there?
Today we're looking at Jesus’ baptism. Why does Jesus approach John, and wade into the waters for baptism? Since Jesus is without sin, what lesson is revealed as He submits to receiving this baptism of repentance? As we follow Jesus down into the waters of the Jordan River we ask, why was Jesus there?
What aren’t we seeing?
Today we're reflecting on the story of the magi ... what motivated them to seek Jesus and to “worship” Him? Our prayer is that this story would lead us to examine our own motives for seeking Jesus and reveal true hearts for worship - we pray God will reveal what we aren’t seeing that separates us from Him.
