Pastor Jenni Wong Clayville invites us into the heart of Lent—not as a religious performance, but as a quiet, intentional re-centering on Jesus amid a world competing for our attention. Drawing from her own story of faith formation and the ancient roots of the church calendar, she helps us understand why Lent has endured as a meaningful rhythm for believers across generations.

In this message, we explore the three pillars of Lent—prayer, fasting, and almsgiving—and how Jesus teaches them in Matthew 6 as practices meant to be lived in sincerity, not showmanship. You’ll also hear why Ash Wednesday matters, how the symbolism of ashes shapes a posture of humility, and how Lent is meant to be practiced both personally and in community.

Whether you grew up liturgical, evangelical, or you’re brand new to faith, this sermon offers a grounded, hope-filled invitation to step into a season of reflection, repentance, and reconciliation—and to choose, with the time we’ve been given, what it looks like to truly follow Christ.

Pastor Marion Mason closes the Margins series in Ruth 4 by showing how God’s redemption often unfolds in ordinary moments—especially in chaotic times like the era of the Judges, when people did what was right in their own eyes. He highlights how the story moves from uncertainty toward restoration as Boaz handles the situation with integrity and clarity, stepping into the role of kinsman-redeemer in a way that brings security to Ruth and hope to Naomi. The message traces how God turns loss into legacy, lifts those on the margins, and weaves faithful obedience into His larger redemptive plan—ultimately pointing us to our greater Redeemer and calling us to respond with trust, courage, and renewed dependence on God.

Ever feel like you started the year with big goals, then got a little off track—and immediately felt the pressure to quit? This sermon uses the picture of a GPS “recenter” moment to remind us that drifting doesn’t mean you’ve failed; it just means it’s time to refocus on the destination and let God redirect you. Anchored in Paul’s urgent call in Romans, you’ll hear a practical, hope-filled invitation to surrender again—offering your life to God and allowing Him to renew the way you think—so you can walk forward with clarity, purpose, and confidence in His will.

What does love really mean—especially in a world marked by waiting, uncertainty, and unmet expectations? This Advent sermon explores a deeper, richer vision of love rooted in Scripture and the Christmas story itself. Set against the backdrop of silence, darkness, and longing, it invites listeners to reconsider love not as a feeling, but as a way of living—one shaped by trust, obedience, and hope when the outcome isn’t clear. Through the lens of Advent, this message uncovers how God’s love enters the world quietly yet powerfully, and how that same love still calls us to respond today. Come listen and rediscover a love that transforms the heart and reshapes how we live.
