Mark 1:35-39 / 14:32-36

Pastor Thomas wraps up our 2-week sermon series on prayer by taking a closer at the posture of Jesus' prayers--is it really as simple as listening to God and obeying what He asks us to do?

Mark 9:14-29

This week, Pastor Thomas kicks off a 2-week sermon series on prayer and shines a light on the ways we tend to solve life's many problems. Often we feel powerless and hopeless to our circumstances or we feel like we have all the power to change it ourselves. But prayer invites us to take it straight to the one who holds ALL the power!

1 Corinthians 9

Guest preacher Zachary Fraley (Christ's Family Church, Davenport) challenges us from the Word to live lives of service following in the pattern of Jesus.

Psalm 129

Guest preacher Steve Poole from Cedar Hills Community Church in Cedar Rapids challenges us to remember and rehearse the stories of God's goodness in our lives and in His Word. He was faithful then, and He will be faithful again!

1 Corinthians 12:12-13:13

Pastor Thomas concludes our sermon series on the "Messy Church" by looking at how God has gifted the diverse church to use all the gifts we have been given to build up His Kingdom on earth.

1 Corinthians 11:17-34

Why do we need the church? In our hyper-individualized world, why would we want to enter into the messy community of the church? Can't we just "do faith" on our own?

1 Corinthians 11:2-16

Does God care about what we wear?

1 Corinthians 8:1-13

How do Christians navigate differences of opinion and personal convictions while still remaining in relationship with others in the Body? Is there a biblical way to look at these differences?

1 Corinthians 7:1-9

Can we view both marriage and singleness each as unique gifts to the church? Or will we continue to prioritize one over the other?

1 Corinthians 6:12-20

If the Church isn't bound under the weight of the Law because of the freedom we have in Christ NOR is it a free-for-all where "anything goes," does it lie somewhere in between? Maybe jazz could be a helpful metaphor for us on what a beautiful mess the Church can be.
