Rebuild with God’s Vision
Nehemiah 1:1-11
Nehemiah prayed based on God's vision for the people of Israel. Likewise, in a time of rebuilding, we need to have God's vision.
We hold weekly worship services at 10am on Sundays on the Illinois Tech campus in the historic Carr Memorial Chapel, affectionately known as the Godbox, which was designed by the renowned architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
Our weekly worship service is free for anyone to come and join. During service, we sing hymns and modern worship music, and we pray for both ourselves as a congregation and for God's work all around the world.
At the beginning of the month, we share communion where we remember the shedding of Jesus' blood and the breaking of his body through drinking the juice and eating the bread.
The strongest point of our worship is the focus on God's word in the Bible. Each week, a message is delivered that is based on the word of God from the Bible, holding to a specific passage.

We have all been sick, injured, in emotional distress, weary, depressed and what we really need is healing. In this passage, we find Jesus healing a lot of different people a lot of different ways. He heals from near; he heals from far; he heals a few; and he heals many. Jesus heals because he goes to the root of the malady.
A Gentile woman responds to Jesus' apparent rejection, owning up to being a dog and asking Jesus for just a crumb of His grace. Jesus did not reject nor insult her, but taught her who He was. When she realized it, He granted her request, and lifted her up from under the table to at the table as a child of God.
Paul and the passengers were shipwrecked on the island of Malta. The islanders showed unusual kindness to everyone by building a fire and welcoming them. God had also shown unusual kindness, healing everyone who was sick on the island, and resupplying Paul and his ship with everything they needed. God shows unusual kindness to us by giving his one and only Son to save us, while we were sinners. In return, let's show unusual kindness toward others, especially to our brothers and sisters in Christ.
When Jesus taught his disciples what it meant to follow him, his words were not empty. He knew what lay in store for him. He would put his actions where his mouth was. When Jesus came into this world, he did so with one purpose, to rescue the perishing. To do so, he would completely and utterly deny himself.
Every Sunday at 10am, we have worship on campus in the Godbox, just to the north of Illinois Tech’s McCormick Student Village. We would love to have you worship with us.
