Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Doubt”

Text: 1 Samuel 17:41-51 The young shepherd boy faced Goliath, the champion of the Philistine army, with five smooth stones and an unshakable trust in God.  We face our own giants as we journey through life but each of us wrestles with doubts that shake our faith in God, in others, and in ourselves. How do our doubts cripple us and cause us to stumble?  More importantly, how does God equip us for the fight of our lives? David &…

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “A Starry Night.”

John 20:19-23 “A Starry Night.” John’s Gospel gives us a picture of the disciples who were locked away in fear after the death of Jesus. But Jesus breathed on them and gave them the gift of the Holy Spirit along with the words, “peace be with you.” How is Jesus calling each of us to move from fear into peace? Come and celebrate Pentecost with us as we look at the peace of God that surpasses all understanding.

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Our Walk”

Text: Luke 24: 13-35 We may very well ask how disciples could travel the road to Emmaus with Jesus and not recognize him. But the simple truth is that Jesus walks with us every day and comes to us in many ways that we fail to recognize! Nevertheless Jesus makes himself known in many and various ways. Sometimes we notice Jesus right away. Other times, it takes awhile.

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “3rd Best Gift”

Text: John 14:15-31 Jesus may be getting ready to leave his disciples at his ascension into heaven, but he promises them and us that he doesn’t leave us as orphans. The promise of the Holy Spirit for all who follow Jesus is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Without the Spirit who is given to us in our baptisms, there would be no gift of faith for us!

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “A Place for All”

Text: John 14:1-14 As we examined in our Lenten series, we are often lost and need to be found.  The risen Christ tells Thomas what he needs to hear and what we all need to hear when we don’t know the way: “I am the way.”  The promise of heaven is more than “pie in the sky”; it invites us to walk with the very One who is the way to eternal life.

Worship (10:30 AM Contemporary) “Before I Go”

Text: John 17:1-19 When people are facing death, they speak of the things that matter the most to them.  It was no different for Jesus, who prayed for us: for our unity and for our protection.  We are all under the care of one who continues to look out for us, even when he is no longer in this world.
