January 5, 2025 - God is Like a... Rock

How do you describe the indescribable? Throughout the Bible, the authors use metaphors to try to give us ideas about God - God is like a rock, or a loving father, or a lamb, or the wind. These give us a picture of a specific attribute of God. This week, Pastor David looks at God as our foundation, a steadfast rock on which we can always rely.

December 15, 2024 - Dignity on the Margins

It's the third week of Advent and our characters this week are the Shepherds. These were outcasts, the poorest on the fringe of society, yet they were the first to hear of the birth of the Christ Child. Why were they chosen? What do we learn about how to treat others by looking at the shepherds? Who around us needs to be seen and needs the kindness of Christmas?

December 8, 2024 - Learning to Trust

As we continue to look at the Characters of Christmas, Pastor Dana takes a look at Mary and Joseph. What trust did they have to have in the angels and in the promises of God? Do we put our trust in God or are we so skeptical that we miss the miracles God has planned for us?

December 1, 2024 - Streams in the Desert

The season of Advent begins this week, where we will take a look at the Characters of Christmas. We begin with the prophets, and their promise of the coming Messiah. 

November 24, 2025 - God Can Use It

This week in worship, we finish the story of Joseph as he comes face to face with his brothers after 20 years. How does he respond? Will he repay them for their evil toward him? Or will he find a way to reconciliation? And what about us? When evil is done to us, do we respond by putting out more evil in the world or can we find a way to bless our enemies? 

November 17, 2024 - Joseph's Grand Reversal

This week in worship we continue our series on Joseph as we find Joseph in prison on a false charge. But God is still working for good in his life, and his fortune is about to change. How does Joseph go from prison to the #2 guy in charge of the whole country? Join us and find out!

November 10, 2024 - Planting Seeds

What does it mean to live a life of integrity? It means doing the right thing even when no one is watching. This week, we continue the story of Joseph and learn that the actions you take today have an effect on the future.

November 3, 2024 - Joseph, the Dreamer

This Sunday we begin a new series on the life of Joseph, the dreamer. He came from a very dysfunctional family where his father played favorites, his brothers tried to kill him, and yet God still used the poor choices of those around him to work for good in his life. What is your family like? Are they on your last nerve sometimes? Remember, families are a gift from God.

October 27, 2024 - Reformed and Always Reforming

It's Reformation Sunday! Although that probably doesn't mean much to you, it is our chance to talk about how we should always be looking to examine ourselves as a church and as an individual. We should remember our roots, honestly look at our sins, and humbly repent. Reformation Sunday challenges us to do better.

October 13, 2024 - To God be the Glory

Everything we do is for the glory of God. What does it mean to accomplish God's purposes in the world? Our answer comes in the giving that we do, our response to disasters, and to illnesses, and to the offerings of the church. This is Visioning Sunday when we begin to look ahead to what God might have in mind for 2025.
