   Summary:   The already but not yet Kingdom of God is where God reigns. It is planted by God and grows into something substantial by God’s hand.  In it, the living relationship between human beings from Creation, i.e. faith, is restored by the gift of God at the cross in the power of the Holy Spirit.

    Referenced Bible verses: Mark 4:26-34; Mark 1:15; John 15:16-17; 1 Corinthians 3:1-9  

Please note that Rev. Sally Welch appears on-screen in the first 30-or so of our videos to bring encouragement and the benediction.

   Summary:   We believe in one God, The Father (or Creator), the Son (or Redeemer), and the Holy Spirit (or Sanctifier). One God who is three persons and each person is fully God: The Holy Trinity. We cannot understand The Trinity except as it is revealed to us in the Bible. That’s the necessary mystery of The Trinity.

   Summary:   The Shopping Cart Theory is that returning your shopping cart to the collection racks, “is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing.” Christians do what is right under the direction of the Holy Spirit who reforms who they are in a living relationship with the one true living God. Receive that relationship today.

   Summary:   God tends us like roses. We are fed by the Sacraments and the Word of God, receive the radiance of the Son, the light of the world, are pruned by God’s grace in our repentance and forgiveness, and watered with the streams of living water that are the Holy Spirit, opening us to the gift of faith by God the master gardener. In this is eternal life.

   Summary:   Our culture needs less heat and more light. Jesus is the light of the world. That light has overcome the darkness. We are not the light. We are reflectors of that light. We don’t achieve the light; we receive it and pass it on.
