This week in worship, our command is to "Forbear One Another." Forbearance means choosing patience and grace when people frustrate us, disappoint us, or see things differently than we do. Ephesians reminds us that humility, gentleness, and patience are not signs of weakness but are ways we live out Christ’s love. We are called to remember that others are works in progress, just as we are, and to make room for one another’s imperfections. When we bear with one another in love, we become a community where grace is stronger than our differences.

This week in worship, our command is to "Comfort One Another." In our hardest moments, God meets us with comfort, compassion, and love. As we receive that comfort, we are called to offer it to others who are hurting. We don’t need perfect words or solutions, just the ability to show up and remind someone they are not alone.

This week in worship, Pastor David explores what it means to admonish one another with wisdom, humility, and love. Colossians 3:16 reminds us that Christian community is about more than encouragement; we are also called to help one another grow. Speaking truth requires compassion, while receiving truth requires humility and an open heart. When truth and grace live together, we become a community that helps one another become more like Christ.

This week in worship, we continue our "One Another" series with the command to "Encourage One Another." Paul reminds us that faith isn't meant to be lived alone. In a world where criticism and discouragement often come easily, followers of Christ are called to build one another up with kindness, hope, and grace. As we gather, we'll discover how even simple words and small acts of encouragement can reflect God's love and strengthen the people around us.

This week in worship, Pastor David is back with a new series on the "one another" commands of Jesus beginning with "Love One Another." Jesus didn't tell his disciples that the world would recognize them by their buildings, their programs, or even their knowledge. He said they would be known by their love. That's both a beautiful invitation and a challenging calling. As we worship this week, may God shape us into a community where Christ's love is not simply spoken about, but lived out every day.

This week in worship, Pastor Reed Conley from Artisan Church visits us with a message and some great music! We know that life is full of uncertainty, and we often wish God would give us a detailed plan for every step ahead. In John 14:1–14, Jesus offers something even greater than directions: His presence. As we trust the One who is the Way, we discover that peace comes not from having all the answers, but from being in the presence of Christ each day.

This week in worship, we look at Ezekiel's vision of dry bones. Ezekiel reminds us that God is not intimidated by places that seem beyond hope. The same Spirit that breathed life into dry bones continues to renew hearts, congregations, and communities today. Our calling is not to dwell on what has been lost but to trust the God who is always creating new life. When God's breath fills His people, what once seemed impossible becomes a testimony of His faithfulness.

As we celebrate Independence Day weekend, we give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy as a nation while remembering that our deepest and most lasting freedom comes through Jesus Christ. Scripture reminds us that Christ has set us free from sin, fear, and death so that we might live with purpose. True freedom is not simply the ability to do what we want, but the opportunity to become who God created us to be. May we live as grateful citizens of our country and faithful citizens of God's eternal kingdom.

This week in worship, we encounter Boaz at the city gate, where his character is revealed as much by what he refuses to do as by what he accomplishes. Though he desires to marry Ruth, Boaz chooses integrity over self-interest, giving the nearer guardian-redeemer the opportunity that rightfully belongs to him. His example reminds us that faithfulness often means trusting God enough to do what is right, even when the outcome is uncertain. We also see the bigger picture of God at work through these faithful people of integrity.

This week in worship, Pastor David continues our study of the book of Ruth in chapter 3, where hope requires courage. Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz each take faithful steps into an uncertain future, trusting that God is at work even when the outcome is unknown. This passage reminds us that we are redeemed, bought and claimed by our loving Savior.
