Maybe you’ve heard the term “prosperity gospel” or “prosperity preachers.” Some preachers emphatically teach that “God wants you to have the best of everything – health and wealth and all good things.” Is that true? This Sunday Pastor Jeff will guide us in a study of what the Bible says about prosperity and how to get it, as we continue in our new sermon series on the book of Psalms.

This Sunday we begin a new sermon series called “Songs of Our Heart.” In this series, we’ll study the songs sung by our ancestors in faith in the Old Testament book of Psalms and discover that their hopes, dreams, fears, and anxieties are very similar to ours. From them, we will learn how to better navigate life through the eyes of faith. On Sunday, we’ll begin with a psalm that lays out the Bible’s foundational principle for having a healthy sense of self.

Are you facing some challenges? Do you need some inspiration and encouragement? This Sunday Pastor Jeff will talk to us about three spiritual principles that can empower us to triumph over adversity in our lives.

This Sunday we continue our sermon series on “Who Killed Jesus?” Our goal is to determine who bears ultimate responsibility for Jesus’ death, As we examine the various suspects, we’ve been thinking deeply and learning a lot. Although it sounds counterintuitive, this Sunday we’re going to explore Jesus’ role in his own death by asking: Did Jesus believe his death was inevitable and necessary? Did he somehow cooperate in his own death? If so, why? And why should I care?

This Sunday Pastor Jeff resumes our sermon series on “Who Killed Jesus?” The goal in this series is to determine who bears ultimate responsibility for Jesus’ death. So far we’ve considered three rather obvious suspects: Pontius Pilate, Judas Iscariot, and Jerusalem’s institutional religious leaders. Now our investigation takes an unexpected turn with a fourth suspect who will startle you -- and challenge us to think much more deeply about the meaning of Jesus’ death.

The Bible teaches us that prayer is the absolute anchor of a deeply spiritual life. But most of us struggle with prayer. On Sunday we’re going to identify the three greatest obstacles to prayer and explore practical solutions, so each of us can experience the power of prayer. Join us on this holiday weekend for an incredible, creative, innovative worship service for all ages, from the youngest to the oldest.

Sin and Grace – those are two key words that Christians throw around a lot. The word “sin” has been used as a club to beat us over the head, so we tend to want to avoid it. The word “grace” sounds nice, but seems vague. This week we’re going to tackle both words, exploring what they really mean, how they work together, and how a healthy understanding of both can be genuinely life giving.

This Sunday we’ll celebrate the 32nd anniversary of the founding of our church!

Join us for a big celebration that will also include awarding membership pins and dedicating our new nursery.

Sometimes life backs us into a corner and forces us to make difficult choices that demand great courage and sacrifice. How courageous are you? What makes the difference between people who rise to an occasion and those who don’t? These are some of the questions we’ll discuss on Sunday, as we continue exploring who bears ultimate responsibility for the death of Jesus. This week we’ll focus on Suspect #3 – Pontius Pilate.
