Pastor Jen continues the sermon series Acts: the Early Church. Today's scripture is from Acts 3:1-10. John and Peter were together, working as a team. They didn't walk on by, but they saw a need, so they stopped and addressed it. 

Pastor Jen begins a new summer sermon called Acts: the Early Church. We learn that the early church repented and changed their direction to follow Jesus. Are we placing Christ first in our lives? Our scriptures are Acts 2:38-39 & 42-47.

At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended on the early church, giving them the power to share their experiences with others. What can we learn from those early church members? Our scriptures come from Acts 1:3-9, Acts 2:1-6, and 42-47.

Kelli reminds us that we may not always like what we see in the mirror, but God's vision is so much more than what we can see. God sees all of our potential and our true identity as children of our Creator. 

Pastor Jen continues looking at wisdom this week in Proverbs 29:18. Those who keep the law of God will find blessings. In our own lives, we must first name what God is calling us towards, and then make a plan to get there. 

As we celebrate our graduating High School Seniors, Pastor Jen reminds us that there is always room to learn and grow. Our scriptures are from Proverbs. King Solomon understood the importance of lifelong learning, including the difference between knowledge and wisdom.

As we celebrate Mother's Day, Pastor Jen considers the lengths we will go for our children and those we love. But how far are we willing to go to ensure that not just our own children, but all God's children receive the life, love, and hope of Jesus? Our scripture is Matthew 28:16-20.

Our purpose as people of faith is to share the Good News of Jesus. Sometimes people need extra time, like Thomas, to come to faith. How can we show grace and support to those who need some extra time? Our scripture is John 20:19-29.

Rev. Lisa Calloway preaches this Sunday on the Road to Emmaus story. Where do we find our lives intersecting with the living Christ? Our scripture is Luke 24:13-35.
