Diversity is such a beautiful picture of God’s kingdom. In my life, I have tremendously benefited from being a part of different Christian communities. In college at Arizona State, I was a member of a predominately African American church in Phoenix. While at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, I was a part of a Korean church. I’ve pastored in a church in small town, rural Iowa and in a church in the very affluent East Valley outside of Phoenix. All of those experiences have been wonderfully shaping in my life. A fuller expression of God’s diverse kingdom is good for our discipleship.

In the next three weeks I would like to take some time to address some issues that have been on my heart in a practical pastoral way - Lament, the Church and Unity, and the Christian and Unity. How do we understand and practice Lament? How should the Church be working towards unity? And what are some things the individual Christian can be doing to help foster unity? For today, let’s talk a bit about the practice of lament.

I have the privilege to celebrate members of our team who graciously give of their time and talents to encourage and lead us in worship! There are so many stories of God at work in and through the worship ministry at Veritas and while I am new to the family, it is evident that so many have stepped up to lead through this chaotic time.

Larry and Sylvia have been serving alongside our Adult Ministry Team and have been disciplining people through STEPS. STEPS is a weekly meeting to help people through sin struggles. They both have been willing servants and leaders here at Veritas. I just wanted to share some of a recent interaction I had with them.

Looking at my current situation, I find myself stressed and fatigued from all that is going on, both in my personal life and in our world. I know that I need to turn these burdens to God and trust Him to use them to refine me and give Him glory. Instead, I find myself turning to idols: food, money, family, work, whatever I think will provide security and relief in the moment. I know if I’m going to find true relief, I need to ask God to give me rest.

Confession is rooted in the Gospel. The definition of confession can be broken into two parts. The first half of the definition is “admission, especially of guilt or sin”. The second part states that “to confess” can mean to agree, to promise, or to admit something.
