God prepared the Promised Land for Moses & the Israelites... however, an unwillingness to trust in God kept them wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. Sometimes we wait on God because God knows there are aspects of our lives that need to "die off" before God can move us forward. Join us as we examine Numbers 13-14 together.

Sometimes it seems as though God is absent from our lives... or at least silent! How do we deal with those time of the "dark night of our soul"? We are not alone. The scriptures are filled with these "wilderness moments." Join us as we launch a new series, WAITING ON GOD... and we begin with the story of Moses (Exodus 1-17).

When life pushes us up against a corner, we might slip and tell a little white lie. What harm does it do anyway, right? Well, God calls us to live our lives in honesty: to be both vulnerable with God and others. Genesis 27:1-10 is our text.

Once we're baptized, we're part of the Church Universal. That means more than just being "in the club." As Christ's representatives to the world, we're called to work on our own discipleship, model what it means to follow Jesus with our words & actions, and encourage others to come to know that same life-changing relationship with Christ! Matthew 28:16-20 is our text.

In this third installment of our "WATER WORDS" series, Pastor Angela leads us through what it means to accept Jesus Christ as our Savior - with all of the implications that brings with it! Romans 10:5-13 is our text.

In the sacrament of Baptism, we are given the gift of the Holy Spirit - God's presence with us that helps us resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves. Join us as we examine this aspect of the UMC sacrament of Holy Baptism. Ephesians 6:10-17 (the whole armor of God) is our text.

Baptism... it's one of the two sacraments in the United Methodist Church. What is it, exactly? Who can (or can't) be baptized? What does it mean for the life of the Christian? These and other questions will be addressed in our new series entitled, "WATER WORDS." For the next 4 weeks we'll be looking at our baptismal vows in the UMC. Up first: renouncing wickedness, rejecting evil, and repenting of our sin.

Some people believe that country music is all about sadness, sorrow, heartbreak, and disappointment. Sugarland's "Very Last Country Song," sung by Jennifer Nettles, posits what would happen to country music if everything worked out in this life. Revelation 21-22 is our text for this final sermon in our GOD & COUNTRY series. Join us as we examine what "the end" might be like, per God's perspective.

Why do bad things happen? Is it all part of God's grand plan? Does everything happen for a reason? Join us as we examine the seminal passage from Romans 8 that deals with this specific question. Randy Travis' "Three Wooden Crosses" is our country song of the day to lead us into this important topic.

Prayer. It's what we do as Christians. But HOW do we pray? Today's message looks at that very topic, as we examine the epic story of Jacob & Esau... along with two very different country music songs: PRAY FOR YOU (by Jaron & the Long Road to Love) and ALL I ASK FOR ANYMORE (by Trace Atkins).
