We are all testifying to something. The Easter season challenges us to find our voices to sing the songs of new life and hope.

Dr. Walter Crow, our Spiritual Formation & Senior Adult Ministries Pastor, examines how David remembers and with him we relish the faithfulness of God. As he relives the memories of the faithfulness of God and he acknowledges How Much He Owes to God.

God's reputation is at stake; will we, as God's people, rely on our own wind (breath), or will we allow God's breath (Spirit) to bring life to dry, dead bones?"Great Are You Lord" written by David Leonard, Jason Ingram, and Leslie Jordan. © 2012 Integrity's Alleluia!

Jesus in John 9 messed up the accustomed life of a blind man by healing his blindness, bringing brightness, but resulting in alienation from neighbors, religious authorities, and parents. Is it worth it? YES! In the end, Jesus found him, and he found Jesus.***We experienced a technical difficulty while recording this sermon and lost the last few minutes of the message leading into prayer and communion. We apologize for this inconvenience!

Pastor Jason looks at the journey of Lent through the lens of Exodus. The story of a Faithful God, a forgetful people, and a Faithful God.

Lent is a journey, not a pilgrimage. Will you go when God calls?

Every time we baptize, we ask, "Do you renounce sin and evil in your life?" Each candidate always answers YES, but does anyone believe that?

As we begin our journey into the Lenten season, Pastor Jon reminds us that "you are a tree in a story about a forest... and Lent is the planned fire.""Brokenness Aside" writteny by David Leonard and Leslie Jordan. © 2011 Integrity's Alleluia!
