Welcome to the Hemmerich Family Blog!

Pastor Chris teaches from Mark 10:17-31, the story of the Rich Young Ruler.  Here, Jesus shows us how trapped we are so that He can set us free.  He shows us our inability to earn our salvation so He can offer us grace.

Pastor Chris preaches to the Pharisee in all of us, and shows us what our gracious God has done for us to set us free.

Preaching from Jesus' high priestly prayer, found in John 17, Pastor Chris teaches the Church what Jesus has to say about how we must order our values--whether we must see them as Absolutes, Convictions, or Preferences--and what that then means for us about how we practice our Unity as One Body in Christ.

"The message of the Gospel is that we are sinners in need of a Savior.  It cuts right at the heart of that idol we make of self-sufficiency.  It assaults our pride and our ego.  We can't save ourselves.  We need help."
