More than a Sunday
January 19-26, 2025
This two-week sermon series delves into the heart of Christian living, exploring the profound truth that our faith extends far beyond the a Sunday. We'll examine the purpose of gathering as a community, moving beyond a focus on attendance, financial contributions, or simply adhering to a set of rules.
Instead, we'll discover that church is about more than receiving; it's about giving. It's about recognizing the unique gifts God has bestowed upon each of us and using them to serve our community. Whether it's sharing your musical talents through worship, utilizing your technological skills to enhance the worship experience for others, or simply offering a helping hand, we are called to actively participate in building up the body of Christ and demonstrating the joy and transformative power of a life lived in relationship with God.

In this season of Advent we consider the inexpressible joy of having our lives renewed by Jesus. No grinching or grouching about celebrating Christmas here, rather our focus will be on the transformative power of Jesus in our lives and how we prepare for that.

Power walk or leisurely stroll? A blazed walking trail or new paths to perambulate? What is your walking style?

Launch Day

In John 11:35 we read "Jesus wept". The shortest verse in the Bible packs powerful questions and insight into who Jesus was.

Goodness of God
June 9th - 23rd, 2024
God is good all the time- All the time God is good.
Do you truly believe that God is good all the time? Maybe in your life journey you have either out loud or under your breath uttered, “I didn’t sign up for this!” or “Really, God?” Do you unknowingly live life in the fear of the “what is next” instead of trusting in the goodness of God? You are not alone. The Bible is full of examples of individuals struggling with confusing and conflicting thoughts on the goodness of God. But the reality is even with all life’s amazing and crushing experiences, God’s presence, provisions/promises, and power are never interrupted. the goodness of God is ALWAYS there. You may not have chosen or signed up for whatever life experience you are in day to day, but God can and will be there and show you His goodness!
