The hymn “Come Thou Fount” takes us on a tour of the Christian life, from the moment of our salvation to our eternity in His Kingdom. It addresses the real issues we face in our faith walk and offers the hope that is only found in Jesus. 

What hope do we have in our beloved hymns? Our new sermon series starts this week with Oh for a Thousand Tongues to Sing and what it means for us to worship with our entire lives. We find hope through Jesus who has taken away our sins and causes us to worship with our whole being.

If the first half of Matthew 18 is about how God cherishes His children who depend on Him, then the second half is about how His children are to respond to His grace and mercy. We forgive because we are forgiven. Lord, give us strength for this.  

September 13, 2023 - Galatians 6:1-2 says, "Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Whether it's politics, finances, sports, or even a paint color, we are going to disagree with others. During these times, it's important to remember that we are called be in fellowship with each other by talking with each other, not behind each other's backs. Be patient and see everyone as a valued child of God.

While the disciples are arguing about which one of them is the greatest, Jesus sets forth a very different role model as “the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.”

September 6, 2023 - Do your kids have a song they sing on repeat all day, every day? Is there a movie you can recite word for word every time it comes on? Let us recount God's word like we do our favorite song or movie! Being in His word allows us to stay on the path of purity and keeps us talking about his promises and love for us.

As disciples of Jesus, we are called to be “middle men” for the Gospel, taking what we’ve received from Jesus and sharing it with those around us. 

“What is a disciple? This week we’ll ask this question and see what it means for Jesus. As Jesus calls Peter and Andrew, Jesus reveals that a disciple is someone who is following Jesus, is being changed by Jesus, and is on mission with Jesus.”   

August 23, 2023 - The theme of Psalm 78 is the goodness and kindness of God to His stubborn and rebellious people.

As we start this new sermon series: “Journey Together,” it is important that the reason God established and sustains the Church is that we would proclaim the Gospel message to the world and to encourage one another to confess that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the Living God.
