Advent Wreath Lighting (Week 2)
Pastor Tim lights the second candle (the Peace Candle) as we continue through a special #52Verses52Books52Weeks journey through Advent. This week, we turn to the Gospel of Matthew.
Darkness is Done
When God created the earth, it was formless, dark, and empty. This is sometimes how our own lives look before we have the light of Jesus. How do we deal with emptiness and darkness that may feel overpowering?
The Spirit of Christmas
What is the true Spirit of Christmas? This year, we’re going to be thinking about how the Holy Spirit works throughout the story of Jesus’s coming and what His continued work means for us today.
Advent Wreath Lighting (Week 1)
It’s Advent starting today and Melanie Haynes will help us focus our hearts as the season begins by lighting the first Advent Candle and taking #52Verses52Books52Weeks to the Gospel of Mark.
Unleash Hope at Home
Where does unleashing hope start? Not locally or globally, but it begins right in the heart of our homes - it begins with family. In the message, we explore how we can honor God by opening up a door of hope for the lost and wounded that are the closest to us.
Is It Bad to Do Good?
What do we do when it appears that to do good towards others conflicts with following God’s law? Is it bad to do good?
52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 47: Philippians)
Join us as Jim takes us to 2 Peter to think of the real source for how we become “better people.” It isn’t a self-help book.
Unleash Hope Near Here
Unleashing the hope of Jesus means talking about the hope of Jesus. In this message, we explore how we shouldn’t keep the hope of Jesus to ourselves but why inviting our friends and family to faith is wise and essential.
A Little Neglect Goes A Long Way
What have we neglected in our lives?
There's the Old Sheriff in Town
We often struggle to understand the difference between legalism and keeping God’s Law. So did the Pharisees. To understand this difference, we must consider what God’s Law says and what it is meant to do.
52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 46: 2 Peter)
Join us as Jim takes us to 2 Peter to think of the real source for how we become “better people.” It isn’t a self-help book.
Unleash Hope Out There
The Hope of Jesus is for everyone to experience. It’s our duty to not gatekeep it from people we deem unworthy, but to unleash it to the world!
Every Nation Has Sin and Needs Righteousness
A Veterans’ Day reflection from Pastor Brad.
Lawbreaker
Who is the real lawbreaker? The Pharisees thought Jesus was. In this series we’ll turn to Luke 5 and 6 to think about God’s Law, legalism and restoring grace.
52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 45: 1 Timothy)
How should we be people of thanksgiving not just as we enter the month that features “Thanksgiving Day,” but every day?
Blessings from Beyond
As we journey through the wilderness, there are enemies against us rising up trying to derail us. However, just like he did for Israel, God even today protects us and has unraveled a plan to redeem humanity through his son Jesus.
Is Life "Wander" Full?
Where do we find our place that God has placed us in life?
Mercy Not Strained
As we conclude our exploration of Solomon’s prayer of dedication for the temple, we’ve returned multiple times to our failures and need for forgiveness. Solomon also speaks of justice. How do we balance justice and mercy?
Confidence in Prayer
How confident are you in your prayer life? Do you wrestle with if you are praying enough? Praying effectively?
52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 44: Judges)
Join us on Reformation Sunday (and Halloween) as Melanie Haynes takes us to Judges as we continue our journey through the Bible.
