Sunday Worship @ 9:00 am & 10:30 am
In Mark’s Gospel, chapter 4, a crowd gathered at the water’s edge to hear Jesus teachings. They listened, and their lives changed. Because their lives were different, their families and cities were different, too.
Like that crowd, people gather at The Water’s Edge every day of the week. We come as we are, and if you want to join us, we invite you to come as you are. We are a diverse family: people new to any church and people who have been in the church as long as they can remember, rich and poor, young and old. We come as we are and encounter a God who meets us where we are.
Some advice gets repeated so often that we stop questioning whether it is actually true.
Follow your heart.
God won’t give you more than you can handle.
Do what makes you happy.
Time heals all wounds.
What goes around, comes around.
They sound comforting and wise. Sometimes they even sound like something Jesus might have said. But when we look closely at His words, we find that Jesus often challenges the advice our culture treats like common sense. When life gets complicated, painful, or overwhelming, Jesus offers Better Advice.
