Power Redefined
What does power look like? Maybe you picture a political leader, a successful businessperson or someone with enough money and influence to make things happen. I tend to picture something mechanical—a large jet engine producing enough thrust to carry hundreds of people across the world. Whatever image comes to mind, it probably isn’t a cross. Today, the cross is often worn as jewellery or displayed as a religious symbol. In the first century, however, it represented humiliation, suffering and death. Rome used crucifixion to demonstrate what powerful people could do to powerless people. That is what makes the Christian message so surprising. The apostle Paul wrote: “Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.”
— 1 Corinthians 1:24 Christianity claims that God’s power is most clearly revealed through Jesus giving Himself away on a cross. That turns our usual definition of power upside down. The Need to Control We often think power means controlling the outcome, protecting our reputation, defeating our opponents or proving that we were right. We may never describe ourselves as powerful, but most of us understand the desire for control. We want to control how people see us. We want situations to work out according to plan. We want to decide how much weakness anyone is allowed to see. The cross presents another possibility: You do not have to control everything to trust the One who is Lord over everything. Jesus did not save the world by overpowering His enemies. He saved the world by giving Himself for them. He possessed power, but He did not use it to elevate Himself over others. He used it to serve, forgive and save. That is humility. Humility is not pretending you have nothing to offer. It is refusing to use what you have to prove that you are better than someone else. Perhaps the clearest evidence of power under control is humility. Something to Offer and Nothing to Prove The ancient city of Corinth was obsessed with reputation, social status, public speaking and personal connections. Unfortunately, those values followed people into the church. Paul reminded them that God regularly works through people the world overlooks: “God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong…so that no one may boast before him.”
—1 Corinthians 1:27–29 This does not mean intelligence, education, leadership or success are bad. The issue is what we use them to prove. None of our achievements makes us more deserving of God’s love. None of our failures places us beyond the reach of His grace. That means we can stop measuring our worth through comparison. Humility says, “I have something to offer, but I have nothing to prove.” We can offer our best without confusing our best with God’s power. We can acknowledge our abilities without believing they make us more valuable than someone else. We can admit weakness without believing it makes us worthless. What Has Power Over You? The cross does more than give Christians a different idea about power. It breaks the hold of the things that once defined us. Because of Jesus, shame does not have to name us. Success does not have to measure us. Other people’s approval does not have to control us. Failure does not have to get the final word. Jesus did not go to the cross because humanity needed better advice. He went because we needed to be rescued from the sin, shame and brokenness we could not overcome ourselves. He took our sin.
He carried our shame.
He died our death.
Christians believe He rose again in victory. That is why the cross is not the absence of God’s power. It is the revelation of God’s power. Perhaps you are not sure what you believe about Jesus. That is an honest place to begin. But the cross invites all of us to reconsider what strength, success and power really look like. What if real power is not found in proving ourselves? What if it is found in surrender? What if the strongest thing we can do is stop trying to impress everyone, receive the grace of Jesus and begin using whatever influence we have to serve? The world may call the cross foolish. The world may call it weak. But the cross changes what power looks like. Take a step of faith and make a decision to follow Jesus.Click Here to Follow Jesus Watch the Live message HerePower Redefined Sermon

Building Projects and Repairs The front corner of our building is in need of repair. The spring snow melt and heavy rain revealed a leak. We will be digging up the corner in the coming weeks. We anticipate the repair to cost $1,600. This would get us about 24 feet of wall repaired (more than needed as far as we can tell). However, since we have equipment on site, It would be the best time to do more of the foundation work. There could also be some surprises once we dig down. Finally, a benefit of this project that adds a bit of cost, is our ability to add some rigid foam to provide better insulation. While this is just a start and the initial impact will be minimal, as we do this project over stages, it will greatly increase our building’s efficiency, however, the basement will always feel cold 🥶.

What is a Soft Launch?
What is a Soft Launch? I am so glad you asked. A Soft launch is what Walt Disney World did in 1971. Walt Disney World originally opened with a strategic soft opening on October 1, 1971, ahead of its official grand opening dedication on October 25th, 1971, to test operations and manage initial crowds. For us, it is an opportunity for our church leaders and volunteers to get a feel for what it will take to set up, pray, and get ready for our regular Sunday evening gatherings in Schreiber. We certainly will be inviting guests but on the down low to get our feet wet. We will do everything that we plan to do when we officially launch later this year. Sunday September 27, 2026 at 6:00 pm is our first planned soft launch date. We will work on loading up the vehicles with food and equipment, drive to Schreiber, Unload and setup, and make room for what God wants to do in our neighbouring community. This will help us get a feel for what we are going to be doing regularly and to learn what works and what doesn’t work. Your help and feedback will be crucial to make this successful. Would you prayerfully considering coming along on this adventure? If you are unable to come, would you pause and pray at our meeting time? We know God wants to reach people far from Him, we know God is calling us to be His hands and feet. Much like Isaiah the prophet we say: Here I am Lord, Send Me! More specifics and tactics to come! But for now as always, I am Ready to Serve,
Pastor Gary

Prayer for LSHS Week 3
Thank you for committing to pray for Lake Superior High School “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” - Philippians 4:6 NIV Oh Lord, Today we are reminded of the doubts we face in our journeys. We pray for a reminder of Your faithfulness, for that is who You are. Help us to walk by faith and not by sight, knowing that Your presence is always enough.

When our world is full of uncertainty, help us to stand apart, Lord, believing fully in Your precious plan. Amen. More about this Initiative atWe Are Made For This

For students, as the new school year begins, we bring before you the excitement, the nerves, And the unknowns. Thank you that you are close in every hallway, classroom, and conversation. For those who know you, help them trust you more. For those still exploring faith, may they sense that you are near and available. Fill them with hope and courage to begin again. Amen.
