The Spirit is Life - May 19, 2024 - Rev. Juan Carlos - Sermon
Is this all there is? Is this what life is about? Feeling like you are in a hamster wheel? So often we get into patterns of life that seem dull, dry, empty, we can feel them but find it hard to snap out of them. This week Pastor Juan Carlos Huertas reminds us that life can indeed feel that way and yet there is a promise of a more abundant life, a life that is full, present, and joyful.

The Letter Killeth but the Spirit Gives Life - April 28, 2024 - Pastor Jim Keck - Sermon
The great God is Love passage in 1st John Chapter 4 reminds us that the spirit of scripture must also be love. But too often in history the Bible has been used in unloving ways to oppress and disparage. Dr. Jim Keck will explore the massive Bible battle of the mid 1800s that definitively determined that we should interpret it spiritually and not literally.
