April 5, 2026 - Resurrection Possible

Easter is all about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is what brings hope to Christians all over the world. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul makes his case for the resurrection, saying that he doesn't live for this world but for the one to come. How do we live? Do we have an "eat, drink, and be merry" philosophy, or are we running a marathon for eternity? 

March 29, 2026 - Understanding the Resurrection

While we enjoy a Palm Sunday cantata, here's an Easter sermon that can take you into this Holy Week. 

How can you understand the resurrection? The journey of faith begins with one step. Keep trying to learn more. Week by week you will be amazed what God will do through these times of worship and exploration. Find time to go open your Bibles. Read the Gospels— Matthew, Mark, Luke and John— to immerse yourself in Jesus’ story. Finally, go outside and look for signs of resurrection happening in our world. New leaves, blossoms, and new life all point to resurrection.

March 22, 2026 - Just Passing Through

This week in worship, Pastor David turns to First Peter, where Paul reminds us to have the mind of Christ, living with humility, compassion, and obedience. Peter echoes this truth, teaching that our hope is not based on circumstances but on the risen Lord. Where do you need to focus on Christ? How could your heart be changed by becoming more like Christ? Let's talk about it on Sunday. 

March 8, 2026 - The Unconditional Love of God

This week in worship, Paul reminds us that we are called “beloved” before we ever prove ourselves worthy. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us, revealing a love that does not wait for perfection. That unconditional grace gives us peace with God and sustains us through suffering, shaping perseverance and hope within us. Do we show that same unconditional love to others, or do we treat love like a fragile contract that is easily voided?

March 1, 2026 - To a Known God

This week in worship, we watch the church spread across Greece, Rome, Galatia, and the surrounding areas. The early church learns that faithfulness does not mean sameness, that the good news of Jesus speaks differently in different cultures and contexts. The same Spirit who stirred those ancient cities is still at work among us, calling us to live the Gospel faithfully right here, in our own time and place.

February 22, 2026 - Galatians at a Glance

This week, we turn to Paul's letter to the Galatians as we continue our journey through the New Testament. Paul reminds us that we are justified not by our efforts, but by God’s grace revealed in Christ. The freedom Jesus gives is not permission to turn inward, but liberation from fear and yearning so that we can love boldly and serve one another. Where do you need the freedom that comes from grace?

February 15, 2026 - The Ascension of Jesus

This week, we jump ahead in our reading to the gift of the Holy Spirit, as we watch Jesus ascend into heaven. Is your God too small? How do you begin to understand all that God is doing? We watch as the disciples are mesmerized, staring into the sky when they should be moving out into the world. Are we so transfixed on one event that we miss everything else around us?

February 8, 2026 - The Seven Woes

This week in worship, we look at the conflict between the Pharisee's way of religion and the way that Jesus offers. Which vision is shaping our lives? What values quietly guide our decisions, our priorities, our sense of success? The question before us is not whether we are religious enough, but whether our vision for our lives and our world is truly aligned with the vision of Christ. Do you focus on what really matters?

February 1, 2026 - The Sycamore Tree

This week in worship, we learn about a man who went to great lengths to reach Jesus. Zaccheus was small in stature, but big on faith. What do you do to reach Jesus? How high or far will you go?

January 18, 2026 - Teacher, Prophet... or More?

Who is Jesus? Is he a teacher, a prophet... or something more? This week in worship, we see Jesus' identity revealed as he continues to heal and serve. Peter declares that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the Living God. Who do you say Jesus is?
