Jesus: Our Representative | Mark 1:9-13

Jesus: Our Representative | Mark 1:9-13 Jesus shows up, gets baptized, and is immediately driven into the wilderness to face Satan. What’s going on here? It’s about representation. Christ came to stand in our place as the perfectly obedient representative of sinful humanity—and that’s incredibly good news for us. Let’s unpack it this Sunday! This Week National Day of Prayer Thursday, May 7th The National Day of Prayer, Thursday, May 7, is a special opportunity to join believers across the country in seeking the Lord. Jesus said to “ask… seek… knock” (Matthew 7:7). Let’s be in prayer this week —lifting up our families, our church, and our nation—trusting in God’s power and grace.

Their mission is to introduce abused children to the life changing and healing reality of Jesus Christ and equip them to lead meaningful and productive lives. They accomplish this by providing summer and winter camp programs for children ages 9-18. Every camp session is intentionally small so that each child receives the proper amount of supervision, love, and care needed to make them feel safe, valued, and protected. Their goal is to have a 2:1 camper-to-counselor ratio in the summer and a 1:1 camper-to-counselor ratio in the winter. Since 1980, over 4,000 children have been touched by the love of Jesus Christ. This Sunday, the Directors of Camp Alandale, the Bernheisels, will give an in-person update!
