Pastor John delivers the next sermon in our Meaningless series.  We learn how trying to find significance here on Earth is meaningless, and how we can find true significance in God.  

Today marks the beginning of a new sermon series, Meaning(Less).  This morning's message, Merest Breath, reminds us of what truly has meaning in our lives and what is meaningless.  In the overall timeline of God's creation, our lives are like a mere breath -- temporary and quickly over, so it's important to learn how to live in true connection with God. 

Today we return to our Collide series with the final sermon "Holy of Holies."  This refers to the central room of the tabernacle.  Not even all the priests could enter here; this room was reserved only for the high priest, and even he could only enter once per year.  Being in this room meant being directly in the presence of God.  But now, WE have access to be in God's presence, because of Jesus' sacrifice -- how?  Through praise.  

Today we will interrupt our Collide sermon series to bring a special sermon called It's Time To Go!  Pastor Matt will discuss the concept of loving our neighbors as ourselves and how we can make that a reality on Go Big Day.

We experience the Holy of Holies, and the congregation will be divided up to visit the three different stations to see how the ancient priests worshipped in the most holy place. Join us to learn more of this holy tradition that was originally only meant for the highest priest.  

In last week's kickoff to our new series Collide, we learned about the layout of the Tabernacle -- the Outer Courts (for the general public), the Inner Courts (for priests only), and the Holy of Holies (only for the one High Priest).  Today, our service will be a little different than usual.  Instead of all the music at the beginning of the service, we will only have one song (a new one, don't miss it!) and then a very short sermon from Pastor Matt.  After that, the congregation will split and walk through various "stations" with elements representing the Lampstand, the Table of Showbread, and the Altar of Incense, so you get a sense of what worship was like in the Tabernacle.  

Today is the beginning of a new sermon series, Collide.  Today's message examines the tabernacle -- how it differs from a temple (they're not the same!),and how it influences the way we worship.  

Why is there so much suffering in the world—and where is God in the middle of it?

In this message, we begin our “7 Myths of Christianity” series by tackling tough questions about pain, doubt, and God’s role in it all. Many people believe myths like “Christians are anti-science” or “God can’t be real if suffering exists.” But Scripture tells a different story.

We’ll explore 7 reasons why suffering exists—and how God is not distant from our pain, but deeply involved. From creation to the cross, we see that suffering wasn’t God’s original plan, and it’s not the end of the story.

God hears the silent screams—and He responds with truth, compassion, and hope.

Today Pastor Mike will examine morality from a biblical perspective and show how the existence of morality confirms the existence of God. 

Last week we heard from some unbelievers in the community about why they do not believe in God or, in some cases, why they were not sure.  Today, Pastor Matt continues our Beyond Belief series with the message Uncomfortable Truth, showing how we can apply logic and science to show the truth about the existence of the one true God.  We will also explore the role of faith vs. proof when it comes to accepting the truth.
