Forgiveness

Peter asks Jesus, “...how often should I forgive?” and Jesus responds, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times.” (Matthew 18:21-22). Easy enough to say, but the journey to forgiveness can be a long and challenging one. How do we reconcile this journey?***********Join us In-Person or Online for Worship Sundays at 9:15am and 11:15am.Find out more about upcoming events and ways to serve our community by joining our mailing list.

Getting a Fair Share

“That’s not fair!” grumble the first-hired workers in the Parable of the Vineyard (Matt 20:1-16) - and perhaps we agree with them. But what does it mean to get a fair share when it comes to God’s limitless love and boundless generosity? The perspective Jesus offers in his parable might surprise you. **********Join us In-Person or Online for Worship Sundays at 9:15am and 11:15am.Find out more about upcoming events and ways to serve our community by joining our mailing list.

Humbled

Jesus Christ, equal with God, humbled himself “assuming human likeness”. (Philippians 2:6-7) What does this mean for us, as disciples of Christ who are made in the image of God? How are we called to do God’s work with our own hands?***Join us In-Person or Online for Worship Sundays at 9:15am and 11:15am.Find out more about upcoming events and ways to serve our community by joining our mailing list.

Be Reconciled

Life, relationships, and churches are often filled with conflict. How are Christians to respond when conflicts arise? In his teaching (Matt 18:15-20), Jesus offers helpful and practical wisdom for resolving conflicts, healing relationships, and building healthy communities. *** Join us In-Person or Online for Worship Sundays at 9:15am and 11:15am.

Ordinary, Extraordinary Mary

Mary was a poor, young woman from a small, unremarkable village. Mary was also the mother of Jesus, God incarnate, the Savior of the world. Mary reminds us that we are all ordinary, extraordinary people, and it is ordinary, extraordinary people we are called by our Savior to love.Join us In-Person or Online for Worship Sundays at 9:15am and 11:15am.

Christ's Reign

When the new king was promised, many expected glory and power. What they did not expect was a shepherd leading his flock; a shepherd that would protect his sheep with his very life.

The World is Not Ending

I Shall See God

Some Sadducees have a question for Jesus about the resurrection. However, their ulterior motive is to trap Jesus with his answer. Jesus responds by upending an understanding of the resurrection itself. For as we can see throughout the bible to our current day and in the future promise, when we see God everything changes.
