Promises, Promises, Promises (9:00 AM Traditional) “I Will Make Your Paths Straight”
Text: Matthew 11:28-30 How often do we lean on our own understanding instead of trusting in the goodness of God in all things? When things fall apart, it’s difficult to see that God can and does work for good in and through all the worst of our messes and circumstances of life. How is God making our paths straight today?
Promises, Promises, Promises (10:30 AM Blended) “I Will Fight For You”
Text: Exodus 14:13-14 God has our backs. As a result of this, we are not left alone to face life’s greatest struggles: “The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still” (Exodus 14:14). How has God been faithful to defend you in your life?

Great Big Little Words” (10:30 AM Blended) “Always
Text: Matthew 28:16-20 Before his ascension, Jesus gave his disciples the Great Commission, which still gives the church its purpose and calling today. We were also given the promise of Christ’s presence in and through all that we do to fulfill that Great Commission along with one of God’s greatest promises to us: “and surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Great Big Little Words “Trust”
Text: Genesis 22:1-14 In life’s hardest moments, how do we perceive that God is at work? Do we trust in God’s goodness even when the evidence seems to point to the absence of God? What if everything we value the most was to be taken from us? Could it be that God is calling us into a radical trust relationship for a higher purpose than just our own comfort?
Great Big Little Words (10:30 AM Blended) “Grace”
Text: Ephesians 2:1-9 What is perhaps the most important “big little word” for us Lutherans? The word “grace” cuts to the heart of our faith and teaches us about the nature of God’s love for us in a way that our hearts need to hear again and again. It’s not called “Amazing Grace” for no reason! This is most certainly true!

Great Big Little Words (10:30 AM Blended) “Hope”
Text: Romans 5:1-5 What we need more than anything these days is hope. In Paul’s letter to the Romans, he tells us precisely where hope comes from and how we can get it. Romans 5 also tells us that “hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit.” This is the good news that we’ve been looking for and it is well worth sharing!
