Today is the second part of our series, Simply Jesus, in which we are getting back to the hart of who Jesus is, what he did, and why it matters. This message reflects on the baptism of Jesus. Based on Matthew 3:13-17

Happy new year! As we begin 2026, I want to introduce our preaching theme for the year at Dutilh Church: redeeming the time. Beginning this very moment, we want to give all 525,600 minutes of this year to the Lord! Based on John 1: 10-18

Continuing the Advent sermon series focusing on Joseph, we focus on the story in Luke of Jesus being left behind in Jerusalem, in the temple. Pastor Tom used this same scripture on 12/21, but this sermon moves in a different direction. Using Joseph as an example, we ask, “Who am I?” “Where do I fit in?” Where do I belong?” “Do I have any value or worth?” Based on Luke 2:41-52

Thank you for joining us for Dutilh's Christmas Eve service!

What makes someone a saint? Is it there ability to do big and great things for the Lord? More often than not, a saint is one who is willing to quietly and steadily follow the Lord each and everyday. That was certainly the case for Joseph. Long after the angels and shepherds left the scene on the first Christmas, Joseph remained, serving alongside Mary as Jesus’ earthly parent. While he slips into the background of the biblical story, there is no doubt that his faithfulness enabled Jesus to be the Savior we desperately need. In the final message of this series, we reflect on Joseph’s quiet faith as a model for our own. Based on Luke 2:39-52

Based on 2 Corinthians 8:9, 9:6-8

Every day we are inundated with messages that tell us that we don’t have enough. We need more money, more time, more stuff, more success, more recognition. It’s exhausting to keep chasing after the next thing we need more of. The Apostle Paul teaches us a secret to a better way of living: contentment. In this message, we redefine what “enough” truly means and learn that so long as we can abide in Christ, we have more than we could ever ask for imagine. Based on Philippians 4:11-13, & 1 Timothy 6:6-8
