Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Living With Christ”

Text: Acts 1:3-11 Our new sermon series will explore how we live with others, how we live without others, how we live with unchangeable things. But before we get to any of those topics, we begin with how we live with Christ. How do we see Jesus’ presence in our lives and in the lives of those around us? Are we able to learn to see Christ in the people and places where we never thought to look? How are…

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Children’s Time”

Text: Matthew 19:13-15 We get the words of Jesus wrong all the time, just like his earliest followers. When a group of children were hanging out with Jesus and having a great time, the disciples wanted to send them away for “bothering” Jesus. But Jesus knows children are the center of God’s love, not on the margins of it. Jesus sees children as keys to understanding everything that he is doing in and through the world. Jesus is inviting us…

Worship | Palm Sunday (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Save Us”

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week for Christians around the world.  As our Sunday School children join us in worship with palm branches and shouts of “hosanna,” we hear together the story of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and we see how events will turn that lead Jesus toward the cross of Calvary- for us and for our salvation.  Christians today still need to raise our voices in singing hosanna– “Lord, save us!”

Worship | Lent (7:00 PM) “Faithful & Unfinished”

In this world, all of us are unfinished. Every vocational responsibility we have– to our family, friends, neighbors, creation–represents an opportunity to grow in love, excellence, and faithfulness. We do not undertake that effort alone. God accompanies us, helping us each step of the way to see others as God does–to see Nineveh, not through the lens of spite and anger, but rather of compassion and mercy.

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Lost Soul”

Text: Luke 19:1-10 The story of Zaccheus the Tax Collector is one that shows us that no one is beyond the reach of God’s love and God’s redemptive purpose for us.  Randy Newman’s old song said that “short people got no reason to live…” but Jesus begs to differ!

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Reading the Bible Will Change Your Life”

Psalm 78: 1-4 A book just sitting on a shelf will not enter our hearts, minds, and souls. God’s holy word in the Bible is meant to be read, studied, questioned, analyzed, and then, live out in daily life. The fact of the matter is, the Bible is complex and sometimes just plain hard to understand. That should not make us afraid to crack it open and see what the Holy Spirit does with the Word of God.
