'Greater Than' with Francis Chan!

3/19/2023

0 Comments

 

​Is there a purpose to my existence? 
​What is the point of me?
What's this life all about?
Is there something bigger than me?
Can I know God? Is God good? 
If God is good, why is there such immense pain and suffering?


This month, Vintage Pearls MKE would like to invite you to reflect and explore these questions and more in a five-part video series called Greater Than with Francis Chan. Francis walks through his own difficult childhood to help us understand that God is greater than any pain, sin, or hardship that we might encounter in this life, and that we actually have access to the God of the universe.

​"Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:
    Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one
    and calls forth each of them by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
    not one of them is missing." - Isaiah 40:26


God is greater than anything you can imagine, greater than anything standing in your way, greater than any earthly or human relationship. He says nothing is an accident. YOU are not an accident, and are loved, valued, and purposed beyond comprehension. ​What if this is the next step in finding God and feeling our way toward Him? ​ 

All five videos can be found below, and are all under ten minutes.

​We are here for you, friend, and even more so, know Jesus always always is and desires a relationship with YOU. You are loved, valued, and purposed. Reach out anytime for prayer or if you have any questions about God.

him and find him. Yet he is actually not far
from each one of us ...

Valentine's Song: "Pieces"

2/3/2023

0 Comments

 

We are all such unique individuals, and musical tastes vary, but this Valentine’s month we’d like to share a love song with you called Pieces. A song about God’s love, one of the songwriter’s once reflected:

"This love is God Himself, and God is Love incarnate. He is one and the same, and His will, His desire, is that all would come to understand that He, Love Himself, has always been for us. He has always been on our side. And the more we study the bravery of His Son, in laying down His life for us, the more we discover that He is not holding his heart at arms length, like a tease, enough for us to see but not close enough to know. Rather, He has invited us completely in … to be surrounded and supported by the breath of love itself. We exist because of Love, and in its will we have our being."

​                                                                                                       -

We pray this song introduces or assures you of God's love for you, a love that transforms, just as we at Vintage Pearls MKE are ever being transformed. The lyrics can be found below:

Verse 1
Unreserved unrestrained
Your love is wild
Your love is wild for me
It isn't shy it's unashamed
Your love is proud
To be seen with me


Chorus
You don't give Your heart in pieces
You don't hide Yourself
To tease us


Verse 2
Uncontrolled uncontained
Your love is a fire
Burning bright for me
It's not a spark
It's not just a flame
Your love is a light
That all the world will see


Chorus
You don't give Your heart in pieces
You don't hide Yourself
To tease us


Bridge
Your love's not fractured
It's not a troubled mind
It isn't anxious
It's not the restless kind
Your love's not passive
It's never disengaged
It's always present
It hangs on every word we say
Love keeps its promises
It keeps its word
It honors what's sacred
'Cause its vows are good
Your love's not broken
It's not insecure
Your love's not selfish
Your love is pure


Chorus
You don't give Your heart in pieces
You don't hide Yourself
To tease us


Chorus
You don't give Your heart in pieces
You don't hide Yourself to tease us
​

​Precious one, God's love is powerful, intimate, and safe, a Love like no other; you don't have to earn it, work for it, or have it all together. He has given of Himself to us, wholly and fully, and He longs and invites us into relationship. Let His value of you override what others think or say because, the truth is, He WANTS and cherishes you so, sweet girl. May we surrender fully to Him, piece by piece, empowered to love Him back, resting securely in His love. 

If you have questions about God's love or would like a listening ear, please reach out. Happy Valentine's Day!

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way,
just as we are — yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne
of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy
and find grace to help us in our time of need."
 

- Hebrews 4:15-16 -
