Join us for our annual Family Service with message led by Pastor Dick Foth

Joseph was in for quite the rude interruption with the pregnancy of his fiancé, Mary. But God met him in the midst of his doubt and pain and brought him divine reassurance. Joseph’s experience reminds us that while God doesn’t always do EASY – He does always do FAITHFUL!

Mary was an incredibly impressive teenager, harshly interrupted and yet humbly submissive to the promises that God was giving her. Her call to ‘magnify the Lord’ leads us to a weekend of reflection, perspective, gratitude, and praise.

In this Advent Series (Divine Interruptions) we will focus on the angelic messengers who foretold of the coming of Jesus - each bringing the “Good News” that would radically change (a.k.a. INTERRUPT) and shape the lives of those who heard and received it. We will explore the different ways the people responded, the different positions they found themselves in, and ultimately the unexpected way the creator of the universe came to rescue his people.

On Paul and Barnabas’s first Missionary Journey they encounter a people understandably all over the place without a firm foundation upon Jesus. Ultimately the truth they must come to not just cognitively believe but practically live out is, ‘If God has come in the likeness of man, listen to Him!’

In the midst of vast expansion and an explosion of influence of the early church… comes conflict. For the church, then and now, it is critical that we know who it is that we are facing in conflict, and that we ‘fight’ accordingly.

Peter yet again is miraculously rescued from what would've been certain martyrdom under Herod. Elsewhere there are people of the church that tragically lose their life to the fury of persecution coming against the young church. This is a lesson of the sovereignty of God - So how can we make sense of his reign when he seems to act at some points and not at others? Join us on this journey this weekend.

We assume God’s will is to take us the shortest, most efficient distance between where we are, who we’re dealing with, what it takes, to where he wants us to be. But God often uses inefficiencies and detours, because he’s INVITING! God’s purposes and his church are supposed to take what he does in and through us from the INSIDE-OUT!

Synopsis: Ever questioned God’s movements or his timing? Ever found it difficult to extend forgiveness to another? Ever found yourself disoriented and maybe even anxious in waiting? This message is for you!
