Sojourn East

This Sunday, we’ll continue our series in Romans with Romans 13:1–7, “The Church in the World.” In a world marked by tension, uncertainty, and opposition, Paul calls believers to live with humility, honor, and deep trust in the Lord’s sovereign rule. As we await the day when God fully sets the world to right, we are invited to live faithfully now with reverence toward God and love toward others.

Scripture: Romans 13:1-7

Pastor: Jonathan Pennington

Join us as Kevin Jamison continues our sermon series, Life Together: A Study in Romans 12-16, by exploring God’s vision for his people and what it truly means to be the church. In Romans 12:14,17-21, we see Paul explore the idea of responding to wrongdoing with goodness and mercy rather than revenge. We're encouraged to live peacefully with others, trusting God to handle justice, overcoming evil with good.

Join us as Dalton Deffenbaugh explores Romans 12:3-8 and how, continuing the idea of living sacrifices, Paul paints a portrait of self-sacrifice as loving service of others with our gifts. As we learn to think humbly about ourselves and faithfully steward what God has given us, we discover the beauty of a body built up through grace-filled service.

Join us as Kevin Jamison begins our new series, Life Together: A Study in Romans 12-16, by exploring God’s vision for his people and what it truly means to be the church. In Romans 12:1-2, we’ll see how the mercy of God forms the foundation of our life together — shaping us into a community that resists both idealism and cynicism, and is instead transformed by the story of Christ into a people marked by love, worship, and redemption.

Scripture: Romans 12:1-2
Pastor: Kevin Jamison

Join us as Kevin Jamison finishes our sermon series on the book of Hebrews, preaching from Hebrews 13:7-14. The text calls us to endure in the costly way of discipleship by fixing our hope on the eternal city to come. Together we’ll consider what it means to publicly identify with Jesus, even in weakness, sacrifice, and misunderstanding, and how the hope of Christ sustains us.

Scripture: Hebrews 13:7-14
Pastor: Kevin Jamison

Join us as Jonathan Pennington explores Hebrews 12:14-29 and how seeing God clearly transforms our worship into lives of holiness, gratitude, and reverent awe. As we turn from sin and fix our hope on his unshakable kingdom, we respond to his grace with wholehearted devotion.

Scripture: Hebrews 12:14-29
Pastor: Jonathan Pennington

Join us as Kevin Jamison preaches from Hebrews 12, calling us to throw off what hinders us, reframe our hardships as training, and follow the example of Christ, who endured the cross. Run the race of faith with endurance by fixing your eyes on Jesus, even when the path is hard. 

Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-11
Pastor: Kevin Jamison

Join us as Jonathan Pennington unpacks Hebrews 11, where we’re reminded that faith is trusting in God’s promises, even when we can’t yet see their fulfillment. Through the lives of those who have gone before us, we see a pattern of endurance and hope, rooted in God’s unchanging faithfulness across generations. As pilgrims on the same journey, we’re invited to live by that same faith as we look ahead to the redemption still to come.

Scripture: Hebrews 11
Pastor: Jonathan Pennington

Join us as Kevin Jamison unpacks Hebrews 10:19-25 and helps us to consider what it means to be the church as God intends. Because of Jesus, we are invited to draw near to God, hold fast to our hope, and encourage one another in love as we live together as His people.
