    ALREADY HOME: July 12, 2026

    We keep asking the same question, just in fancier clothes: Am I enough? We measure. We compare. We keep score against the person in the next pew. But Paul isn't answering that question. He's ending it.   Romans 8:1-11 | Isaiah 55:10-13 | Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23

    A NATION OF PEACE AND HUMILITY: July 5, 2026

    As the nation observes the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence we are called to give thanks and to tell the truth. We are called to live into a vision established not by our own patriotism, but the vision of the reign of God revealed in Christ.

    THE YOKE: June 28, 2026

    There is a kind of hope that makes everything worse. We have all offered it. Most of us have needed it. There is another kind. It doesn't promise the weight will lift. But it will not leave you alone in it.   Jeremiah 28:5–9 | Matthew 10:40–42

    DEAD TO SIN. ALIVE TO GOD.: June 21, 2026

    A core belief of our congregation is "God's love is not earned but is a free gift to broken people." The question is, does God's love revealed in Christ leave us broken? Paul says, "By no means!" To be baptized, to be a disciple of Jesus, is to leave the old life, the brokenness, behind and embrace a new life, even if it is hard to change.

    WHAT CHRIST FINDS: June 14, 2026

    We are remarkably committed to carrying things alone. Even when help is available. Even when the effort costs us more than accepting it. Somewhere in all that stubborn self-sufficiency, a belief settles in so quietly we don't notice it arriving: no one is coming.   Matthew 9:35–10:8 | Exodus 19:2-8a | Romans 5:1-8

    ANOTHER WORD: June 7, 2026

    The world is very good at speaking final words over us. And we have been carrying some of them for a long time. But there is someone who keeps showing up, past the booth, past the crowd, past the bedside, and he is not done speaking. That word has your name on it.   Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26

    INTO THE CHAOS: May 31, 2026

    We have been gripping for a very long time. Managing the unformed places. Performing a certainty we do not have. Because somewhere underneath everything, we believe that chaos means God has already looked away. But that is not how this story begins.   Genesis 1:1-2:4a | 2 Corinthians 13:11-13 | Matthew 28:16-20

    THE RIVER ALREADY KNOWS: May 24, 2026

    We have spent a long time on the bank. Watching. Admiring. Keeping ourselves dry and in control. But there is a current underneath all of it that has been moving the whole time, and it didn't ask our permission before it started. The question Pentecost keeps asking is the one we keep not answering.   John 7:37-39 | Acts 2:1-21 | 1 Corinthians 12:3b-13
