Running the Wrong Way (August 20, 2023)

Sometimes we become so fixed on where we want to go that we cannot see how we are defeating ourselves. Jonah runs in the opposite direction when God sends him to Nineveh, raising questions we often avoid: Do we understand who God is, who we are, and how He sees the people we would rather leave behind?

A Freezer That Floats (May 21, 2023)

We like life easy, so when following Jesus brings bumps instead of the smoother path we expected, we wonder what went wrong. Luke 9 reminds us that Jesus never promised following him would meet that expectation.

The Big Box Problem (April 2, 2023)

We’ve always been better at hailing the leader who delivers what we want than trusting the one God has actually sent. Way back in Numbers 12 and 16, even Moses’ own family turns on him for not being the kind of leader they expected. Can we see God’s working any more clearly than they did?

Songs for Our Temple (Week 28: Ps. 82-84)

Melanie takes us through Psalms 82-84 to think about how we relate God’s law to earthly rulers, how we make sense of our “enemies” and expressing joy in God’s presence.

Songs for Our Temple (Week 14: Ps. 40-42)

Join Pastor Tim as we turn to our next three Psalms (40-42) and reflect on how they turn us towards our true hope as we look forward to Easter.

Do I See My Mission? (March 28, 2022)

Are we shining lights into our world or are we spreading darkness? As we continue in Philippians 2, we’re challenged to think about our role in showing God’s light in this world.

Hidden in the Trees (March 21, 2022)

What does it mean to work out our salvation with “fear and trembling”? How does that help us to understand our calling as believers and as the church?

52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 35: Ezra)

Are we simply knowing God’s Word or have we learned how to do what God’s Word calls us to do?

52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 34: 2 Kings)

What do we do when the things we do that we thought were lasting get wiped away? As we turn to the fall of the kingdom of Judea this week, Pastor Tim reflects on that question.
