Paul encourages the church in Thessalonica to continue to serve God. Faith, love and hope are 3 spiritual graces that empower us to serve God. As a young church growing despite severe hardship, Paul encourages them to have hope in Christ so that their faith may flourish.
Elijah, restored and encouraged by God, obeyed His word and set out to anoint Elisha as his successor. He found Elisha hard at work on his family estate, and he threw his cloak around him, signifying the call. Elisha responded, and left all to follow and serve Elijah. God also calls us through his gospel to belong to Jesus Christ, and to be his holy people, to follow Christ, no longer serving the world or ourselves, but giving our whole lives to serve Christ.
Have you ever wondered what could make God sigh? Take a look and find out through this passage as Jesus sighs while he heals a man.
Even though Jesus isn’t with us physically any more, we have access to him through his name. There is no name like his, for there is power in the name of Jesus. In today’s passage Peter and John heal a crippled beggar in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
The Bible promises that Jesus is coming again, this time in power and glory, and this will signal the end of the world. The question of the hour is, WILL YOU BE READY WHEN HE COMES AGAIN? Have you ever asked yourself this?
Mark 12:38-44
Key Verse: 12:44

In 2009, I lost my job because of the economy. It was one of the worst days of my life, but two years later God made it one of the best of my life.
Like the disciples, we must experience the life changing grace of God and be transformed through Jesus’ resurrection. Come join us this Easter as we learn how to live life “After the Cross” of Jesus.
We may all be distant and living in uncertain times, but the end of the year draws near and the time of Advent is here. Advent is all about the anticipation of the arrival of the baby Jesus and starts on November 29.
The turkey has been roasted and leftovers fill our fridges. Thanksgiving is gone and the time of Advent is here. Advent is all about the anticipation of the arrival of the baby Jesus and starts on December 1.
Since 2007, we have been serving Illinois Tech and the surrounding community with the word of God through Bible study and worship service. We are a church composed of alum and current students, who wish to see the love and grace of Jesus shared with others.
