“Why ‘Just Follow Your Heart’ Never Works” | Judges 21:20-25 | Pastor Aaron McMillan |Just follow your heart! We hear it all the time. We say it all the time, but does it actually help us make better decisions? Will it actually give us a better world or stronger families? Join us as we conclude our study of the Book of Judges and a family of people who more often than not, just followed their heart.| August 31, 2025

"Why Do Our Heroes Fall?" | Judges 16:13-22 | It seems like you can't look at the news without seeing a story of some leader - Christian or other - caught in a scandal. What causes people who often are so admirable and likable and talented to stumble so dramatically? What does that tell us about our own lives and faith? | August 24, 2025 | Pastor Paul Lauerman

"Samson: Why Be Pure?" Judges 14:1-7 | Hang around religious people long enough and sooner or later you'll hear talk about "purity." Don't watch the bad videos, don't say the bad words, don't do the bad stuff. But who gets to decide what is and isn't "pure?" And why should God even care so much about small acts of purity when the world clearly has much bigger problems that need solving? | Pastor Aaron McMillan | August 17, 2025

"Jephthah: Are You A .5 Christian?" Judges 11:4-11 - Have you ever asked yourself, "How could someone who is supposed to be a Christian act like that?" Sadly, most of us have. This week in our survey of the Book of Judges we come to the story of Jephthah, a man who did all the right things and then... didn't. Join us this week as we talk about why and how Christians can still end up walking down the wrong path. | Pastor Aaron McMillan | Aug. 10, 2025

"Gideon; Part 2 "What Are the Odds?" Judges 7:1-15 - We live in a world that is constantly calculating the odds... determining the probability of a victory, promotion, or success. But what happens when the odds are so slim that our desired outcome seems impossible? This Sunday, we continue in the story of Gideon, to find out what happens after he says "yes" to God, but the odds seem to be against him. Sunday, August 3, 2025 | Courtney Vereide

"Gideon: When Faith Threatens Your Status Quo" Most days what most of us want is a nice day -- maybe a hot cup of coffee, a good day at work and something fun waiting for us afterwards. Walk with God long enough though and you can count on it, He will lead you not to easy days, but to hard places. Join us Sunday and we'll talk about why God leads us to do hard things and why a hard calling from God may be the best thing that will ever happen to you.

"Deborah: What Does It Take to be Used by God?" God does not just work in the ways we expect him to work. He does not just pick the biggest, the richest, the strongest. He shows his power by proving he can do amazing things in and through the life of anyone! Sunday, July 20, 2025 | Sunday Worship | Pastor Paul Lauerman

"Stuck in a Moment that You Can't Get Out Of" Have you ever noticed the way there always seems to be a crisis? Almost like there is some endlessly repeated cycle that we're all caught up in. The ancient Book of Judges tells the story of this cycle. It tells the story of God's people at what may have been their lowest moment and the way their relationship with God was actually connected to everything they were going through. Intrigued? Join us this Sunday and as we kick off eight weeks in the book of Judges. Sunday, July 13, 2025 | Sunday Worship | Pastor Aaron McMillan

"The Forgotten God" Sunday, July 6, 2025 | Luke 3:15-22 Some people call Him the forgotten God. From its earliest pages the Bible speaks of God's Spirit enlivening, guiding and guarding God's people. Who is God the Spirit and what does it look like to have Him as a daily part of our lives? | Pastor Aaron McMillan

Missions Sunday, June 22, 2025 | Leo Ackon - In this sermon, we will explore the state of modern slavery and God's profound invitation to us to live our lives in pursuit of justice for those on the margins. We will delve into the ways we can reimagine our daily lives to be of service to God through a justice centered life, while simultaneously experiencing the joy and hope that comes from such service. This reflection will challenge us to consider how our actions and commitments can align with God's ongoing redemptive work in the world, and how, in serving others, we can find deeper fulfillment and spiritual growth.
