Labor Day Weekend always invites us to consider our callings in life for which we Labor.  This weekend Pastor Scott shares an optimistic and encouraging message to keep us in the game as we labor for those we love and the life we live.

This week in worship we finish up our August series: By Faith. Hebrews 13 guides our reflection on what it means to live a life characterized by our faith - a life that is founded not on unstable things in this life, but the confidence of the Kingdom of God. When that is our foundation, we live lives filled with words, works and praise that look different to the outside world. Yet, these very things open the door for more people to encounter the faith we hold dear.

FAITH KNOWS ITS FATHER   

We’ve walked through Hebrews 11 together, leaning on the examples of the faithful who came before us. Sometimes, though, the distance between us and God remains. We feel lost, we feel uncared for, like shooting in the dark. Yet in Jesus God meets us here, in real life, in person, in powerful ways.

This August we started looking into the final chapters of what may be the final book written in the New Testament—historically speaking that is.  The book of Hebrews, according to many scholars, was written long after the days of Jesus walking on water and earth—some 60 years later.  Times of great testing were settling on the early church.  Faith was more important than ever.  Saying “no” to the world and “yes” to the kingdom became indispensable.  This weekend Pastor Scott catch us up to the faith that moves mountains each and every day as with the writer of Hebrews we remember the heroes of faith in ages past.

Do you struggle with believing in a truth you can’t see? Is it hard to trust God’s word in a world that seems so contradictory against it? August is a chance to surface those struggles and difficulties. On Sunday we take our first steps in a month long study of faith. Come to church these next four weeks as we read through and appreciate the book of Hebrews!

What does generosity really mean?  As we wrap up the Here We Grow sermon series, Pastor John brings us the message from Cancun, Mexico ....

Have you ever felt like God isn't listening to your prayers? Or maybe just that prayers are a nice exercise but they don't do anything? This week we dig into a lesson Jesus gives to his own disciples about prayer. To sum it all up, "keep praying, and pray boldly!" Join us in digital worship as we consider what it means to keep prayer at the forefront of our minds!

This weekend we dig into what it means to have once been alienated and hostile toward God in our sin, yet out of His love for us we are rescued and reconciled, made new and set free in Him! 

Jesus tells us throughout the Gospels to "love our neighbors." Most of the time, it is easy for us to picture who our neighbors are and even to obey Jesus' command toward those people! But sometimes we get tricked into restricting the definition of "neighbor" far more than Jesus ever would have wanted - so we turn back to a familiar story with an important lesson: our neighbor is the one who shows us mercy. To be a neighbor is to show mercy, to look outward, to serve without judgment or division. Let's grow together this week with a look at the Good Samaritan!
