The voice is a powerful thing, admired by untold millions purchasing music or sitting breathlessly awaiting the winners of “American Idol” or “The Voice.” Join Pastor James as he challenges us to hear the Spirit’s voice – the source and means of our hope for this life and the next.

Join us this Ascension Sunday as Pastor Johann provides us a refresher on what our mission should be…right here, right now. Often, it is easy to get lost in the details of day-to-day activities and forget our purpose. We ask the wrong questions, emphasize the wrong things, and don’t move on with the mission He has assigned us. Christ is everywhere he is here and now, calling us to be witnesses. Are you ready to tend His flock? If not now, when?

When God chose to love us, it was His choice. Join Pastor James as he discusses how because of God’s choosing us we are empowered and filled with His love and must then resolve to live out that same love each and every day of our lives.

The linkage between our love for each other and God’s love for us is a distinctly Christian message from today’s epistle reading. Join us today as Pastor Johann discusses how God is love, love is an action of God, and love is an example through Jesus’s atoning sacrifice for our sins. When we abide in God by loving each other, God’s purpose in loving us in completed. We are saved by Christ and are assured of this by loving as He did.

Anyone can say, “I love you.” Words are cheap and the meaning can be lost. Even today as Christians, we use the same phrase. What is the Christian meaning of love? Join Pastor James as he delves into our response to God’s great love as we seek to define Christian love through the lives we live.

Have you ever wondered, “What is the point of the Resurrection?” Is it simply about Jesus’ offering of peace? Join Pastor Johann as he discusses the Resurrection. It happened because the Messiah was meant to suffer and to rise from the dead; it provides a basis for us to wake up and ask for repentance and forgiveness of sins; and finally it allows us to proclaim this message and bear witness of the good news of the Resurrection.

“Peace be with you,” Jesus said to His disciples locked behind doors. Join Pastor James as he discusses today’s Gospel. Assuring us that with Jesus’ peace-bearing presence, we have a secure foundation in a Savior who accepts us as and where we are.

Alleluia! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Throughout Lent, we have heard a drumbeat call from God to return to Him, and today we rejoice that this call was issued so that we might have life in abundance through the One who lived, died, and rose again to secure our salvation. Join Pastor Johann as he discusses how we are called to come and see the Christ; to see the salvation won for us; to see the life that He has secured; and to see the Word that we are to share with others.

The author of creation hangs on the cross, wracked with pain and writhing in agony. It is almost unbearable to look on this scene, and yet without it we would be lost forever, still trapped in our sins. As we gather tonight to remember the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made for each of us, may we focus on the One who is the way and the truth and the life, even Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Join us this Maundy Thursday as Pastor Johann discusses how Jesus invites us to join Him at the Table. He repeats this invitation repeatedly, because He feeds us in order to build us up and strengthen our faith. His invitation draws us into a place where we have fellowship with all believers. Yet, our fellowship is stained by sin. To remedy our sin Jesus gives us His own body and blood with a promise, to make all things new and share the fruit of the vine with Christ Himself.
