Sojourn East

Join us as Pastor Kevin resumes our journey through the Gospel of Luke by looking at a passage Christians are accustomed to studying the week of Palm Sunday—Jesus’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Today we’ll look at the details of this familiar story and what they say about us and a God who wants to draw near and carry our burdens.

Scripture: Luke 19:29-44

Join us as Pastor Justin concludes our series “Walking in Wisdom” by looking at how we navigate the terrors of this life—when our spirits are crushed and our hearts are downcast.

Pastor: Justin Hyde

Join us as Pastor Kevin continues our series “Walking in Wisdom” by focusing on the qualities of the wise person, understanding that wisdom is not something gained, but rather, it is a gift from God. The invitation is to bring our lives before God and submit them to Him. And in doing so, he’ll refine us and give us what we need.

Join us as Pastor Kevin continues our series “Walking in Wisdom” by looking at the “fool,” a challenging type of unwise set of character traits. While it’s easy to think of the fools in our own lives, the invitation of these messages is to look inward and then seek God’s grace in mercy in growing in wisdom.

Join us as Pastor Kevin continues our Walking in Wisdom series by contrasting wisdom with being naïve, or as the Bible calls it, being a simpleton. Life, and its many challenges, will prompt us to respond in any number of ways, and this week, we’ll look at the dangers of approaching the world through the lens of naivety.

Join us as Pastor Kevin wraps our Advent sermon series, The Songs of Advent, the song of Simeon, a man who had waited his whole life for the consolation of Israel, which turned out to be a baby.
