Sound No Trumpet

We can do the right thing and still face an uncomfortable question: are we doing it because God called us, or because we want people to notice? In Matthew 6, Jesus assumes his people will give to those in need, then warns that even this good act can become a way of practicing righteousness “to be seen by others.”

It's Not Just You

If you are alone, you can’t fully experience everything God has for you. We are saved by Christ alone; we are not saved to be alone. Our faith becomes stronger when we are with other people.

God With Us

Jim Krenning takes us to back to Acts 2 to think about how God gives His Spirit to us.

Closing Down the Store

Are we going through ritual expecting nothing can be done or are we ready for God’s Word to redirect us?

God's Snow

Tonight we look at Isaiah 27 to better understand how Christmas fulfilled long given promises and is a turning point for all of us.

Love

Christmas is an invitation to experience God’s love.

The Best Promise

Tonight we look at Isaiah 46 and 49 to better understand the dependability and scope of God’s promises.

No Ifs With God

When carefully made plans fall apart, we can start to wonder whether anyone has both the power and the care to make things right. John 1 takes us back before creation, declaring that the Word was God and then became flesh to dwell among us. What does that mean for the “ifs” we bring to God when life feels beyond repair?

Songs for Our Temple (Week 51: Ps. 144-146)

Jim takes us through Ps. 144-146 as we near the end of this journey through the Scriptures.

Security Theater or Security

Are we seeking real security at Christmas or just security theater?

Songs for Our Temple (Week 50: Ps. 141-143)

Pastor Tim takes us through Ps. 141-143 for hope and confidence given to us in God’s love.

What Did Mary Know?

How did Mary wrap her mind around who Jesus is? How do we?

Peace

What does it mean to experience God’s peace?

Righteous or Rusty?

Are we trying to impress people or are we doing what God has actually called us to in faithfulness?

Faithful Waiting

God often calls us to be faithful as we wait for what He is doing next. What does that look like?

Songs for Our Temple (Week 49: Ps. 138-140)

Pastor Tim takes us through Ps. 138-140, which guide us to think about how God knows us and is faithful and merciful to us wherever we may be in life.

Joy

What does true joy look like? It isn’t necessarily what we imagine.

Who Is the One Born on Christmas?

We know the what… Jesus is born. But, do we know the “who”?

Songs for Our Temple (Week 48: Ps. 135-137)

Pastor takes us through Ps. 135-137 and thinks about how they fit into the time of preparation we call “Advent.”

Hope

Do we have hope? Do we have our hope in the right thing?
