This morning, we continue our 140th Anniversary Celebration by welcoming the Resident Bishop of the Greater Northwest Area of the United Methodist Church, Bishop Cedrick Bridgeforth, and turning to Ephesians 1:15-22. The Bishop challenges us to look forward to the next 140 years with the same faithfulness and steadfastness that has carried us this far. 

This week, we launch our 140th Anniversary Celebration by turning to the story of the Israelites at the Red Sea. Pastor Joe reminds us that faith is not nostalgia. It is not about recreating what was. It is about stepping toward what could be, even when the way is not clear. How might we live into the new thing that God is doing? 

This year, we celebrate All Saints' by turning 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4, 11-12. Pastor Joe reminds us saints are not perfect people, but rather those who persevered and shared love, even when times were hard. 

This week, Pastor Joe wraps up our three-week Generosity series by turning to Jesus' parable found in Luke 18:9-14. How might we be challenged to be generous by recognizing our worth, not in comparison to each other, but all under God's faithfulness and God's mercy? 

This week, we continue our Generosity Series, Grace that Grows, and welcome our Director of Discipleship and Care, Brian Fu, who challenges us to still be generous, even in times of wrestling. 

This week, Pastor Joe launched our Generosity Series titled Grace that Grows. In it, he reminds us to live as though God is present not only in the moments of joy and clarity, but also in the waiting, the uncertainty, and the in-between. 

This Sunday, we celebrated World Communion Sunday remembering that we are part of something so much bigger than ourselves, but also that sometimes, the thing that unites us is a collective crying out to God, "How long, O Lord?" 

This week, Pastor Joe wraps up our sermon series called Faith Reclaimed by turning to 1 Timothy 6:6-19 and inviting us to rethink happiness. What if happiness isn't something you earn, but rather it is something you receive and pass on? 

This week, Pastor Joe continues our sermon series called Faith Reclaimed by turning 1 Timothy 2:1-7 and inviting us to reframe prayer. How might prayer become the practice by which we confront injustice? What if prayer became the discipline by which we resist empire? 

This week, Pastor Joe continues our sermon series called Faith Reclaimed by turning 1 Timothy 1:12-17 and inviting us to reimagine regret. What might it mean for us to become guardians of the truth, and not defenders of national ego? What might it mean for us to to allow mercy to meet us in the places we’re finally brave enough to name?
