Why do I exist? Is there more? How do I fit in the story? This year we will consider these and other important questions. Join us this Sunday January 1 at 9 a.m. to sing, pray and start the New Year with a new series through the stories of the Bible entitled, “Knowing God.” Pastor Dean will launch the series by asking “Why do I exist?” as we read and meditate on God’s design for you from the beginning revealed in the early chapters of the Book of Genesis. And, since we are stepping into a New Year this Sunday, we will celebrate with refreshments for all ages after the service!
When we recognize how extraordinary God is and how ordinary we are by comparison, we may feel that God is too different from us to understand us or too distant from us to be close to us. But when read the Christmas story with a fresh interpretation, we discover that God came to us in many ordinary ways, easing our fears that he is too different or too distant. Instead, he became like us and came close to us.
We are so excited to gather with you on Christmas Eve, this Saturday, December 24th at 6 p.m. to celebrate the coming of Jesus! This will be a great service to invite friends and family to come with you to. We will not have an in-person service on Sunday morning but will provide a pre-recorded Christmas service on the Sunday Service page at our web site.
The 4th Sunday of Advent represents the message of the angels and symbolizes peace. Keeping in mind the Children’s play, I’ll be continuing on a similar theme to Rob and Dean, speaking of the miracle of Jesus incarnate, specifically as a baby. The message will address peace in the midst of a giving up of control – that peace comes from radical trust of the Father.
In every birth announcement, there are similarities and differences. Join us at 9 am this Sunday, the 3rd Sunday of Advent, as we worship and reflect on Jesus’ unique announcement filled with good news of great joy!
Not all religions are the same. Nor are all “gods.” During the Christmas Season, we celebrate the incarnation of the All Mighty, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. When He “became flesh” it revealed to us who God The Father is and how He loves, relates to and cares for us. As a result, the Incarnation is the reason we can sing “Joy to the World, the Lord has come!”
This Sunday is the 1st Sunday of Advent, the church’s four-week journey toward the celebration of Jesus’ birth. Throughout Advent 2022, we will learn the essential reality of Jesus’ incarnation. Join us at 9 a.m. as we worship the Incarnate Deity in song, prayer and a message for all ages lifting up Jesus as “God with us” who has come to save His people from our sins!
This Sunday, as we reach the final chapter of I Corinthians and the end of our series, we reflect on all of the ways the body of Christ has struggled with political division and cultural controversy since the very first century. Yet in this final chapter was also see Paul encouraging us to continue to strive for unity and generosity in the faith, and demonstrates that love is not measured in quantity – but in quality. Join us at 9 a.m. as Ministry Coordinator Tara Farrell brings a message on how to love the church with generosity, abundance, and joy.
“Gentlemen,” he said, holding a pigskin in his right hand, “this is a football.” Vince Lombardi was coaching a group of three dozen professional athletes, yet he started from the beginning. Reminders are always helpful and often essential. Join us this Sunday at 9 a.m. as we receive the Apostle Paul’s reminder of the Gospel that he preached and in which the church lives. May God meet with us, restore our clarity in His Gospel and send us into the week abiding in and abounding for the Lord Jesus Christ!
One of God’s gifts to the church is worship! Yet, sometimes worshipers do things that we don’t like while we praise God together. Worship gatherings for the Corinthian Church were lively but also chaotic and in many ways, disrespectful. Though many aspects of first-century worship were different than ours, the solution Jesus unveiled through the Apostle Paul’s pen is the same. Join us on Sunday at 9 a.m. as we unite to worship God and discover the intermingling of worship and love!
