Make sure you join us for worship this Sunday for an incredible, creative, innovative service for all ages, from the youngest to the oldest. Memorial Day weekend is a time to remember heroes who’ve gone before us. So this Sunday we’ll explore the Biblical concept of “the great cloud of witnesses” who surround us and cheer us on. Instead of one long sermon, Pastor Jeff and Pastor Tandy will share several short, interactive lessons woven together with songs and activities meant to bring our remembrances alive. This is special worship experience is something you won’t want to miss!

It’s often said that the things we do – good and bad – have a way of coming back to us. Is that really true? If so, why then do bad things sometimes happen to good people – and vice versa? Does God ever make exceptions to the principle of “sowing and reaping?” If so, when and how? These are some of the deep questions we’ll explore in the fifth installment in our study of the Life of Jacob.

If you need a word of encouragement, if you’re ever tempted to think you mess up too much for God to use you, if you need an extra dose of God’s grace, you need to hear this Sunday’s sermon – the fourth installment in our sermon series on the Life of Jacob.

On Sunday, we’ll study a third thought-provoking story from the Life of Jacob. It’s a perfect story for Mother’s Day because it will challenge us to consider: How have the words of your mother, father, and other key influencers shaped you? And how are your own words now shaping those around you and even yourself? Because the truth is, words have POWER.

That’s the term stock traders use when they buy a stock with the intention of turning around and selling it rapidly to make a quick profit. Life constantly tempts us to “sell short,” instead of investing in the long term. We make decisions that feel good in the moment, but come back to bite us. This Sunday we’ll look at a Bible story from the life of Jacob that challenges us to think deeply about what brings genuine long-term satisfaction. The insights of this story could change your life.

Each of us is on a journey. God put us here in a particular life context and set us in motion. The challenge is to make sense of our journey and turn it into something beautiful. For guidance, this Sunday we’ll begin a new sermon series on the turbulent, magnificent life of Jacob, as recorded in the book of Genesis. We’ll begin with a sermon called “Family Dynamics,” after which you’ll never see your family of origin quite the same again. J

Jesus’ resurrection is the most spectacular event in the history of time. This Sunday we’ll talk about the meaning of the resurrection and identify the secret ingredient that catalyzes resurrection power in our personal lives. Join us for our Easter Worship!

It’s one of the most celebrated days on the Christian calendar – full of pomp and ceremony, palm branches and pretend parades. But why? Why should I care? You could spend your whole life in church and never understand the personal significance of Palm Sunday. This Sunday we’ll fix that.

Life is mysterious. We feel compelled to try to figure it out. Why am I here? Where am I going? Why is this happening to me? This week we’ll seek some answers in the story of the turbulent life of Jacob, as recorded in the book of Genesis.

It’s one of our greatest anxieties. When I stand before God, how will I be evaluated? Even right now as God looks down on my life, how does God feel about how I’m doing? This Sunday Pastor Jeff will invite us to explore three Bible verses that are critical to understanding how God evaluates us. Hint: You’re probably going to be surprised.
