What does it mean to be the church in times like this? How do we foster basic Christian values like grace, compassion and understanding in one of the most divisive, uncivil periods in our nation’s history? Join Pastor Rob Fuquay as he helps us understand that a model of civility is how St. Luke's and the people of St. Luke's can be the Church the world needs.

We begin a series today called The Church the World Needs. Certainly the world desperately needs a church that draws people in and helps them experience the acceptance of God. Yet for many that is not their experience of church. Listen as Pastor Rob dives into how St. Luke's and the people of St. Luke's are the Church the world needs.

This is the moment he's been waiting for.. we’ve spent 5 weeks looking at the life of Joseph and it all started with a dream. A dream that saw his brothers working out in the fields and their bundles of wheat bowing down to his bundle of wheat. In his second dream, he saw the son moon and the stars bowing down to him. And it seems so far off because there was nothing about his current life that gave any indication that this was a possibility. Until now. Until today.

Welcome back to Week 5 of the Connecting the Dots series. We’ve spent the last several weeks in the book of Genesis learning from the life of Joseph. And during this series, you know, it hasn’t always been the most uplifting story. We’ve seen Joseph go through some stuff. He’s been thrown into a pit by his brothers, been betrayed by the important people in his life, put in jail, been forgotten about by people he helped, he’s watched every dream he’s had be put on the backburner, just waiting for something to go right.
And finally, FINALLY, we’re here. It's JOY.

When you're wondering why you were in the right place at the right time, or when something happens in your life and you say "what a coincidence"... was it a coincidence or was it in God's timing? Listen as Pastor Jevon explains how "Timing is Everything" and how God works on us privately, until He is ready for us to do something publicly.

Joseph reminds us that you can survive those moments that can always understand. This week, Jevon shares three key points to get through some of our roughest moments in life:
1. You can survive even what you can’t always understand.
2. Everything can’t grow everywhere.
3. Sometimes God protects others from us.

The reason why there are so many dots we can't connect is because we are trying to make sense out of our lives with our heads and not our hearts. Listen to Pastor Jevon as he starts the new series Connecting the Dots and talks about Joseph's dreams and how most often, God doesn't make sense, but His ultimate goals come to fruition for us all.

Choose to believe people who hurt us don’t know better. No healthy person is born to hurt. Typically when people cheat or act selfishly or thoughtlessly toward others its because of their insecurity or fear or lack of receiving compassion themselves. Most of them time when we hurt others its because we’ve been hurt. Hurting people hurt people.

Paul writes and says, “We appeal to you, brothers and sisters, to respect those who labor among you, and have charge of you in the Lord and admonish you; esteem them very highly in love because of their work.” Now, it sounds like some simple, off the cuff advice from Paul to people not responding well to criticism, but if you think about this topic and start to tease out the depths of the idea you realize this is a matter that has application for every area of our lives and can determine the level of our success and satisfaction.
So let’s consider the importance of learning to handle criticism well. I’ve organized these around three R’s. The first stands for Receive.
Receive Criticism Non-defensively. We all need helpful criticism to be better and we all need people who can be tough with us if we’re going to stay sharp.
Respond Rather than React to Criticism. When we respond, when we listen, ask questions, show appreciation and answer calmly, we give opportunity for something productive to occur.
Realize More Is Usually at Stake than a Single Relationship. When we handle criticism in a way that leads to breakthrough, growth, respect, you can count on the fact that more people will benefit than just us and our critics.

We know that Mother's Day can bring so many emotions. For some, it's a day of joy, others a day of grief. For most moms, 2020 was difficult in ways we could have never seen coming. But, in the midst of wherever you are right now, you need to hear this message. You need to know that you are loved and you are worthy.
