Most people will tell you they will go to Heaven someday, but this isn’t always true. Don’t take your eternity for granted! Not everyone who says, “I believe” will find peace and joy in Heaven later. You can know for certain for yourself and the people you love. Take the “certainty tests” we find in the book of 1 John. You CAN be sure!

The Most Unlikely Hero
Christmas is a time for surprises. An unexpected gift. A familiar carol that touches us in a new way. But the greatest surprise of Christmas is the unlikely hero we have in Jesus Christ. God entering this world as a humble child born into poverty? Who could have guessed? This Christmas, join us as we celebrate the most unlikely hero of all.

Quick Quiz: What is the #1 Health problem in America today? COVID? Heart Disease? Cancer? If you guessed depression, you’ve been paying attention...or perhaps you’ve been affected. Across every demographic and regardless of economics or gender, the silent thief robbing Americans of quality of life is depression.

From milder forms like S.A.D. (seasonal affective disorder – seen in colder climates…like Minnesota!), to severe episodes, depression has reached epidemic proportions in our culture. Directly through personal experience, or indirectly through the struggles of a friend or loved one, each of us deals with depression. It is the common cold of emotional illness. Great Christians through the ages have fought this familiar enemy. We can find hope again because God empathizes with our pain and invites us to the way up when we are down. Join us at Hometown as we tackle this important subject with empathy, balance, and timeless wisdom.

Stay Strong, Live Ready
1 Thessalonians
"Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows."
-Jesus

“I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden.”
-Lynn Anderson, Country singer

Just because you’re a Christian, God never promised you a simple existence on this planet. In fact, life can become harder when you follow Jesus. This was the experience of the church at Thessalonica. To help them, Paul wrote a letter to encourage their faith and help them stay strong. Please join us as we travel through the book of 1 Thessalonians and discover how to stay strong and live ready.

3-week message series: September 11 - 25

All around us, people are hurting, demoralized and need encouragement. Why don’t we say something? Words can be more life-giving than we realize. In the book of Proverbs, we learn encouraging words are like a cup of cool water to a weary soul. God wants to work through us to speak encouraging words to other people. Discover with us how to love people through our words.

5-Week Series: October 2-30

Ever browse social media and feel anxious or depressed? Or read the news and you’re filled with fear or fury? Ever walk into a social gathering and experience outright terror? Or get criticized and long to roll up into a ball or bludgeon the messenger? We all overreact sometimes, but why? These reactions flow from what we believe and why we believe it. God can help you. Let’s learn together what triggers us and why.

Hazard signs signal danger. They alert us to dangerous situations, bad ideas or potential problems. The Bible contains many “hazard signs.” The prophets had specific warnings for Israel, and the Apostles had important warnings for churches. What hazard signs might God post for the American church today?

Presents? Check. Decorations? Check. Tree? Check.

What are we missing? Sometimes we overlook the most important thing of all. Come with us as we savor the first chapter of the book of John to remind ourselves who Jesus is. His identity, his forgiveness and his majesty. Together, we’ll be inspired as we make sure we’re not overlooking anything this Christmas.
