What does it mean in the New Testament when writers refer to the “ekklesia,” what we translate as “the church”? And what does it mean to be the church beyond the first century? Learning from how this word is used in Scripture will equip us to be the church more fully in our lives today. Scripture: Colossians 1:1-20

What happens to us when we are depleted, spiritually and emotionally? What keeps us from quitting? Hear The Apostle Paul answer that question.

God's proclamation of his name and declaration of his character to Moses are foundational for God's people then and remain so for God's people now. If someone asks you "What is God like?", you cannot go wrong with Exodus 34:6-7 as your answer. Central to God's self-description is the Hebrew word hesed, which appears almost 250 times in the OT. No single English word captures the full meaning of hesed, but "steadfast love" is the way it is rendered in our passage. Such a love never ceases, and finds its deepest expression in the cross of Jesus Christ.

1 Kings 19 tells the story of the prophet Elijah as he faces burnout and asks God to let him die, but God revives him and meets him on a mountaintop. God doesn’t appear in an earthquake or fire or whirlwind, but instead in “the sound of sheer silence” or “a still small voice.” Unpacking these words in Hebrew calls our attention to the miracle of God’s communication with us, and how hard it can be to hear God’s voice. How do we hear God speaking to us today?

There are many kinds of power - but here we will explore power that can only come to us from God - power that accomplishes more than we can think or imagine!

Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-21

What’s in a Word? Our passage today contains a word that is only found once in all of scripture, “anakephalaiossathai.” Join us as we discover what God has done and continues to do, as we look at how this word invites us to deepen our faith and bring new perspective to the sufferings and joy in our day-to-day lives. [Scripture - Ephesians 1:7-10]

This week in our Summer Sermon Series: “What’s In A Word”, we’re exploring the word “Paraclete” - the Spirit who comes alongside us with comfort and courage. Come ready to be inspired, renewed, and reminded that we never walk alone.

Scripture: John 14:25-27
