This week we continue to discover our identity as we take a look at who we are as disciples of Christ. What does it mean to be a disciple? Is it enough to say we believe in Jesus, or is more needed? Discover the three Ways of Discipleship that Jesus gave to his followers.

This week, Pastor David takes a look at who we are as a church community – as the body of Christ. This community is dependent on the diversity of our members, each contributing their unique gifts in an effort to bring the works of Jesus to the world. Where do you fit into this plan? Let’s explore this together!

Pastor David continues answering questions from the congregation with one I bet everyone has asked at some point – why do bad things happen to good people? Why does God allow babies to get cancer? Why are really good people victims of violence? And how can we explain an all-powerful God who allows these things to happen, especially to people who doubt? Let’s find out together!

Our summer series of questions continue with one I bet you have asked at one time or another – why did Jesus have to die on the cross? We’ll dig into the atonement, what it has meant over the past 2000 years, and what it means to us today. 

How many times do we try to dodge the subject of our sins? We don't want to face them ourselves, much less admit them to God. The Samaritan woman at the well faces Jesus in the same way, but his kindness back to her shows her, and us, a new way to forgive, with kindness and the understanding that none of us are perfect.

It's so easy to get caught up worrying about just about every aspect of our lives. Our jobs, our kids, our health, our future... but time and time again the Bible tells us not to worry. How are we supposed to do that? It seems like every time we stop, something comes along to make us start right up again. Pastor Dana takes a look at this topic as we continue our Summer of Questions this week.

Our summer of questions continues as we look at life after death and the second coming of Jesus. You guys asked some tough questions! Pastor David digs into 1 Thessalonians 4 to hear some encouragement from Paul on the subject, and we might come away with more questions than answers!

This week, our questions from the congregation focus on the political polarization of the church, and how we can keep our focus on God amidst the noise around us. Pastor David will use Paul’s words from Ephesians 4 as we navigate some of the same issues that they were facing in the early church, looking for unity as they were facing a world that marginalizes people and weaponizes religion.

Why did God appear to so many people in the Old Testament but not to anyone in the last 2,000 years? Think about all who lived before biblical times, all those who have never heard the word. Why is life after death just for those lucky enough to have been exposed to Christian teachings? Pastor David explores these questions and digs into how God reveals himself to us and to the world at large.

Why do we do mission work? And if we’re not helping starving children in Africa, or doing medical missions in Vietnam, is it really missions? Pastor Dana takes a look at the different types of mission work and the purposes of each as she brings us a recap of the recent trip to the UK in worship this week.
