Day By Day: Spiritual Practices that Shape Our Lives

What is Scripture for, and why do we study it?

In this sermon, Rev. Shuler Sitsch continues our series Day By Day: Spiritual Practices that Shape Our Lives by looking at 2 Timothy 3:14-17. Scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, correction, and training in righteousness, but it was never meant to be treated as a trophy, a trivia test, or a tool for winning arguments. Scripture is given to us so that we might be shaped, challenged, and sent out to live more like Jesus.

As followers of Jesus, we study Scripture not just to know more, but to be formed more deeply in love for God and neighbor.

Day By Day: Spiritual Practices that Shape Our Lives

What is prayer really for?

In this sermon, Rev. Shuler Sitsch begins the series Day By Day: Spiritual Practices that Shape Our Lives by looking at the practice of prayer through Luke 11:5-13. Jesus teaches us to ask, seek, and knock, but prayer is not simply about getting God to give us what we want. Prayer shapes us by drawing us closer to the heart of God and teaching us to pray, “Thy Kingdom come.”

As we practice prayer, we become more aware of God’s kingdom around us and more ready to participate in God’s work of justice, mercy, compassion, generosity, humility, and care for the poor, the stranger, the broken, and the oppressed.

Life can feel unpredictable. We make plans, work hard, and try to keep things in order, but Ecclesiastes reminds us that we are not in control of every outcome. So how do we live faithfully when life feels uncertain?

In this message from our series Everything Under the Sun, Rev. Whitney Peper reflects on Ecclesiastes 9:11-12 and the call to live with purpose, trust God in uncertainty, and follow Christ one faithful step at a time.

What is my purpose? Why am I here? What is God calling me to do?

In this week’s sermon, Rev. Shuler Sitsch continues our series, Everything Under the Sun: A Study on Ecclesiastes, by looking at Ecclesiastes 7:15–22. Ecclesiastes reminds us that life is not always simple, fair, or easy to explain. Righteous people still suffer. Wicked people sometimes seem to thrive. Life is not transactional.

So what is our purpose?

Through Ecclesiastes, we are invited to seek wisdom, surrender control, and faithfully walk with God in every season. Our purpose is not to master life, hack life, or control every outcome. Our purpose is to surrender to the will of God and trust that God is still present in the middle of our questions.

What do we do when life feels repetitive, exhausting, or even meaningless? In this sermon, Rev. Shuler Sitsch begins our series on Ecclesiastes by naming the honest questions many of us carry: Does anything matter? What is the point of all our work, grief, joy, and struggle?

Ecclesiastes gives us permission to ask hard questions without shame. Through Jesus Christ, we are reminded that life under the sun has been changed by the kingdom of God. Our lives matter because we are loved by God and invited to help make the world look more like God’s kingdom.

Faith can become performative when it is more focused on being seen by others than being honest before God. In this sermon, Rev. Whitney Peper reflects on Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, reminding us that authentic faith begins with humility, mercy, and the quiet places where we come before God as we truly are.

Unity does not mean sameness. In this Mother’s Day message, Kristi Johnson opens our series Where the Church Gets It Wrong by exploring Paul’s call in Ephesians 4 to live as one body while honoring the different gifts, callings, and roles God gives each of us. The church becomes stronger not when everyone looks alike, but when every piece of the mosaic comes together in Christ.

As we wrap up Won’t You Be My Neighbor, we take on one of the hardest parts of living in community: forgiveness. In this message, we explore what forgiveness really means—and what it doesn’t.

Forgiveness is not about ignoring harm or pretending everything is okay. It’s about stepping into the freedom God offers, even when it’s difficult.

Where might God be inviting you to begin that process today?

Scripture: Colossians 3:12–14

Guiding Question: Who do you need to forgive—and what is one step you can take toward that this week?

In week three of Won’t You Be My Neighbor, we explore The Art of Focusing. When life feels full of people, responsibilities, and expectations, it’s easy to feel stretched thin. But Jesus models a different way—one that invites us to invest deeply in a few meaningful relationships instead of trying to do everything for everyone.

Who might God be calling you to focus on right now?

Scripture: Matthew 17:1–8

Guiding Question: Who are the few people God is inviting you to invest in deeply, and what is one step you can take this week toward that relationship?
