The Blessings

Last Sunday night, 8 of us met to begin discussing what it means to live in the Kingdom of God as found in the Beatitudes or the Blessings. So we began with the first 11 verses of chapter 5 in Matthew's Gospel. We looked closely at what Jesus meant by the "poor in spirit" and will explore the rest of the beatitudes in the following weeks. This next week we'll be talking about "blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted", and we're to bring an example or two that we think might relate to the topic. E.g. a story of someone mourning at a funeral or of someone mourning over a social ill.

If you'd like to join us, we meet at 6:00 on Sunday evenings for some snacks, sharing life, and discussing the Bible and faith. Our address is 2874 Kenwood Blvd. We're on the northeast corner of Kenwood and Goddard in the brick house. All are welcome.

Hope to see you there.

We're All On A Journey

Welcome to Emmaus Road:
Whether you are here seeking God or just friendship . . .
Whether you confess Jesus as Lord or are only curious about Him . . .
Whether you’re a part of this faith community or another one . . .
Whether you agree with everything we teach or simply agree to disagree (respectfully) . . .
We welcome you as Jesus openly welcomes all who seek life and value life in others.

What you’ll discover here is a gathering of people seeking to live life to its fullest—life embodying everything our Creator designed and desires for us to be. We hope you’ll also discover here a place of acceptance and belonging among us. But even more than that, we hope you’ll find your place of belonging and acceptance with God through Jesus Christ.

Bob Dylan once reflected on his life, “I was born a long way from home, and I’m just trying to get back.”

We all were.

We hope you’ll join us on the journey.
