This month we have explored Jesus’ encounters with a prominent Father whose 12-year-old daughter, his only child, the light of his life lay dying and a woman whose light of life was being extinguished by her issue of bleeding, for the past 12 years… These accounts are found in 3 of the gospels or stories of Jesus’ closest disciples. Matthew 9:20-26, Mark 5:21-43, and Luke 8:40-56

By studying each of them, there is a great deal we can learn about the bigger picture of Who Jesus is and how He desires and is willing to Encounter us.

There are great insights and revelations in these passages we have covered.  But there is more…I have invited our very own Holly Duke to join me for this podcast on yet another rich morsel from these few verses:

You will see the beauty of diving deep into the word of God,  it’s complexity and layers of understanding that speak to the deepest recesses of our hearts, our inner most places creating spaces for fresh encounters with Jesus, the Lover of our souls… Enjoy, be inspired to draw close to the One who sees you in a crowd, who gives you a new name.

CAC has been in a Kingdom partnership with our church in Rimouski for many years. After an unsteady pastoral transition, but with the aid of solid interim leadership, we find this church excited about the future. In a part of our country considered to be the least evangelized in the developed world and one where Christianity exists in the margins, this church is finding its way to be the light on the hill. Listen in as we catch up with Barry and Germain and what they look to the near future.
