Extraordinary Empathy, with Becca Ellis. Series: Ordinary People With Extraordinary Hearts A Spacious Christianity, First Presbyterian Church of Bend, Oregon. Scripture: Matthew 9; 1 Kings; Isaiah 46.
Join us this Sunday to hear a powerful message on finding hope and compassion in challenging times. We’ll be gathering online and in-person – come as you are and let’s explore how to care for ourselves and each other.
About the Series, Ordinary People With Extraordinary Hearts: In this series, we explore Ephesians 3:20, which tells us that God "is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." This powerful verse reminds us that even though we are ordinary people, God can do extraordinary things through our lives when we rely on His strength and not our own. In this series, we will look at examples of ordinary men and women in the world and the Bible who allowed God to work through them in amazing ways. We will discuss how they exemplified extraordinary faith, hope, and love. And we will challenge one another to live out these virtues in our daily lives, so that God's power can be displayed through us. We hope you will join us for this encouraging and inspiring series as we explore together what it means to be ordinary people with extraordinary hearts. Come ready to look deeper into God's Word and tap into the extraordinary life He desires for each of us.

At First Presbyterian, you will meet people at many different places theologically and spiritually. And we love it that way. We want to be a place where our diversity brings us together and where conversation takes us all deeper in our understanding of God.
We call this kind of faith “Spacious Christianity.” We don’t ask anyone to sign creeds or statements of belief. The life of faith is about a way of being in the world and a faith that shows itself in love.
