Rev. Matt Slater | Acts 5:27-32 |

What happens when what God calls us to do doesn’t jive with others in the world? This week we begin a new series called Good Trouble, following the acts of the apostles. We will discover the criteria for disobedience to worldly authorities to be in the very ways Jesus lived.

Rev. James Laker |

For our Faith Promise Sunday, Rev. James Laker, missionary to the city of Cleveland invites all who follow Jesus to be missionaries. We are called into ways of living so the Good News can spread right where we are.

Rev. Matt Slater | Luke 24:1-12 |

As we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord on Easter Sunday, we recognize that as humans we go to the familiar for life. But the empty tomb and the words of the angels will cause us to reconsider, as we look to draw near to the risen Lord.

Rev. Matt Slater | Luke 19:28-40 |

For our Palm Sunday service, we finish our series Covered. Our expectations about God are often not in line with who He is. We will be challenged to look at Jesus and to uncover our own expectations and to let them go to follow Jesus in our lives.

Rev. Matt Slater | Isaiah 43:14-21 |

Our experiences, memories, and circumstances make up how we see ourselves, others, and God. But sometimes our circumstances cover our view of God. Join us as we discover how to move forward in hope, when our circumstances are difficult.

Rev. Matt Slater | 1 Kings 19:8-18 |

The world is filled with plenty of noise. Sometimes we may think God only shows up in dramatic and loud ways. But in this week’s installment of Covered, we will discover God comes to us in the calm, and we must be willing to meet him there.

Rev. Matt Slater | Numbers 22:22-35 |

This week in our series Covered, God shows up in a comedic yet poignant way that opens us to look beyond the usual places for God and to see how God can work through his creatures. This will open us up in our relationships and to refrain from looking at only ourselves in life.

Rev. Matt Slater | Exodus 40 |

In this week’s installment of Covered, God dwells among his people in a tent structure, the tabernacle. He reveals more pieces of who he is in this moment and will invite us to trust him in all things. He will teach us when to be still and when to go.

Rev. Matt Slater | Exodus 19:9-25 |

As we begin our Lent Series, Covered, a Hidden God revealed, we will examine an encounter with God who covers himself with clouds. We will discover new ways of relating with God and with each other in humility as He reveals himself to His people at Sinai.

Rev. Matt Slater | James 5:12-20 |

We wrap up our series in the letter of James and we’ll discover the actions we are to live into as people of faith. We will be encouraged to have "good faith" and how to live together as a community as we are faithful to God.
