In “Inclusion Sunday,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen focuses on how we relate to people with disabilities. Every person is created in the image of God, and we are to recognize their beauty rather than overlook it. Our interactions with those with disabilities should be marked by compassion and sensitivity to their challenges. October 6, 2024 | Dave Gustavsen

In, “Who We Are,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen shares how the church can bring healing to a divided culture by being a family of Christ-followers who love one another. Love is more than just a feeling – it is the loyal, sacrificial pursuit of another person’s well-being, following Jesus’ example and empowerment. Love matters because it shows the world who Jesus’ disciples are and it brings joy to God. Dave Gustavsen | September 8, 2024

In “Legacy,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen concludes the series on David’s life with the message, “Life is hard, but God is good.” Like David, we all experience hardships of many kinds. However, God remains good, sovereign, present, forgiving, and better than our disappointments.

In “Sin,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen uses King David’s adultery as an example to warn about the dangers of sexual sin. Though sexual sin (and all sin) is harmful, it can be overcome by turning away from it and towards God. Through Jesus’ sacrifice, forgiveness is possible. When we choose to repent, we can be forgiven and experience restored joy.
