Join us for our Easter Sunday celebration as we dig deep into Jesus’ resurrection encounter with Simon Peter and draw from it a powerful two-part formula for how we, like Christ, can rise from our deepest pain.  Because as followers of Jesus, Easter is not just a miracle that took place 2000 years ago; it’s […]

Sometimes life can careen from the greatest heights to the lowest lows in a whipstitch.  The pain and whiplash can be devastating.  How well do you deal with your pain?  This Sunday, Palm Sunday, we’ll mark the beginning of Holy Week with a sermon that focuses on the epic events of the last week of Jesus’ life and how he dealt with unimaginable pain.  Pastor Jeff is going to share a concept from theologian Frederick Buechner that will help us learn something new and powerful from the events of the last week of Jesus’ life.

What is God trying to accomplish in and through you in the present global crisis? With everything discombobulated, is there any rhyme or reason to your present circumstance? This Sunday Pastor Jeff will share the answer that God gave him in a dream this week – an answer drawn from one of Jesus’ least familiar parables.

The coronavirus news keeps washing over us. Life is completely turned upside down. Many of us feel a lot of fear, and there are reasonable reasons to be afraid. But . . . there are also some really important spiritual principles that can help us live well even in these crazy times. Join us this Sunday to be reminded of those key principles that will anchor your soul.

Here we are in the midst of a global pandemic and economic meltdown.  Beyond that, we all have our own personal crises.  To live is to experience crisis.  Sunday’s sermon will take a close look at how Jesus responded to crisis in his own life, offering us insight that can help us immeasurably.

Ok, so maybe you chuckled at the title. But this is serious. All the anxious talk about coronavirus can be disorienting. So much uncertainty. If Jesus were here right now, what would he say to us? Join us on Sunday for something practical that will actually lift you up and help you find the right perspective for times like these.

Jesus says, “Judge not.” But that’s easier said than done. The urge to judge others severely is so strong it often feels overwhelming. It’s hard to stop even when it poisons our soul. This Sunday we’ll explore several spiritual principles that can help us to finally lay down the heavy burden of judging others.

This Sunday we’ll look at a parable that reflects the deepest passion of Jesus’ heart, and consider what it would mean for us to reflect that same passion, as individuals and as a church. If you’ve been thinking of inviting someone to church, this would be a great Sunday for them to get acquainted with our church.

So what does God really want from us? Many of us have been taught that God’s love is conditioned on our good behavior. So we end up doing everything we can to appear to be perfect in order to earn God’s love and feel good about ourselves, resulting in a life full of pressure, stress, and denial. Fortunately, Jesus came to teach us a better way that we’ll explore on Sunday. Join us and release the pressure!

Spiritual mystics throughout the ages have warned us that nefarious otherworldly forces – Satan and demons – are an unseen part of every human struggle. Jesus himself seemed to agree. So what should 21st century believers make of all this? Is there really a spiritual dimension to every problem? If so, how should we respond? Join us on Sunday, as we explore what Jesus taught about how evil works in and around us.
