About this episode

Rosella Shishido explores Jesus’ final journey to Jerusalem, emphasizing courageous faith and the importance of mercy and prayer.

Today's message from lay pastor Rosella Shishido is an exploration of Jesus’ final journey to Jerusalem. Through encounters with the Good Samaritan, Mary and Martha, and disciples seeking guidance on prayer, we discover what it means to live with courageous faith. Rosella challenges us to "become a neighbor" by showing mercy, to prioritize sitting at Jesus’ feet over life’s busyness, and to pray with "shameless audacity". Learn how to choose the better way by moving toward those in need and resting in the presence of a good Father. Download the series booklet here First Prez website
