    2026 Missions Conference - I Love Homer Sunday

    Every day in this little hamlet by the sea, there is the hustle and bustle of people moving to and fro between jobs, tasks, and activities. Some are shuffling kids from school to home. Some are doing their weekly grocery shopping. Some of us are opening our storefronts to welcome in the day's customers. All the while, there is a smaller group of people, a busy group of workers who have devoted their day not to a job, task, or an activity, but to a certain, even smaller group of people, people in our community in need. This Sunday is I LOVE HOMER SUNDAY, the launch of our Missions Conference. I LOVE HOMER SUNDAY is our chance to celebrate, honor, and partner with the organizations and ministries who seek to serve others in our community. On Sunday, we will hear from three organizations and host several others. What do you need to do in the meantime? 1. Look over the list of organizations and missionaries we will be hosting this coming weekend and get to know them a little more. 2. Collect your thoughts about how you will invest your time and money over the next year in God's Kingdom. Ask the Lord to help you make a connection that will encourage a missionary and grow your faith. 3. Familiarize yourself with the online pledges here. 4. Make a plan to come to the Monday Night Missions Banquet and buy a ticket. 5. Invite a friend and get FIRED UP about all that God is doing in Homer, Alaska, the USofA, and THE WHOLE WORLD! Have a question? Email us at MISSIONS@COTRHOMER.ORG. Pastor Matt McCarter

    Covenant Sunday | Wedding Day

    Wedding bells are ringing loudly in my home this week. My beautiful daughter Talia and her very tall Canadian fiancé are to be wed Saturday and our house is bustling with preparations. Talia’s new and wonderful in-laws are here from Saskatchewan and have brought the party vibe. We are eating lots of good food, spending time together, each one of us helping with our respective parts. For those of you keeping track; this is our third wedding in 24 months. We are very much enjoying this unique season and all of the festivities it brings. In this Sunday Sermon, I want to talk about another upcoming wedding celebration and the respective rolls we each have in preparing for that epic day. Pastor Dr. Aaron Weisser

    Philip Licht | Free From Offense

    Often times in life things don't go the way we expect. This can lead to questions about why God isn't acting in the way or time we think He should. Choosing trust in the unknown protects our hearts from offense. Come learn about the blessing waiting for us on the other side of this choice. Philip Licht

    Worship of a Holy God | More Than I Deserve

    Have you ever gotten caught with your hand in the cookie jar? Do you remember the feeling? Mom told you not to eat cookies before dinner, but that jar full of goodness is so tempting. We respond with comments like “I just wanted one” or “I am so hungry”. The problem is that Mama said, and you didn’t listen. I mean, I didn’t listen. The book of Exodus closes with a similar warning as the cooking jar, God’s presence settles on the Ark of the Covenant and the tent of meeting becomes off limits. It does not matter what your reasoning is, you cannot enter! To come before a Holy God is no small matter, in fact it is a matter of life and death. In God’s presence our sins cannot be hidden nor will they be tolerated without being first forgiven. In God’s efforts to live among His people, He made a way for them to enter in, to be forgiven, to be washed as white as snow. Turns out God not only wants to be close to Him physically, but for us to also express to Him the ability to approach Him, guiltless, sinless, not irreverently but with an expectation of experiencing His goodness and compassion. God knew we would sin and so He set aside a day for our sins to be atoned for and our guilt and shame to be removed from us. The Day of Atonement should not be seen as a way to appease an angry God, but a day on which an Holy God would express His desire to live in peace with His chosen ones. Read ahead for Sunday in Leviticus 10-16. Pastor Matt McCarter

    Worship of a Holy God | Feast Upon Jesus

    It’s September already. Before I know it there will be Christmas decorations adorning my home, Mariah Carey’s voice filling the air along with the smell of a freshly baked sheet of Christmas cookies. Whether you like it or not your life is ruled by a calendar. Days and dates that inform your life from anniversaries, to birth days, to national holidays. There are events scheduled throughout your year that dictate how you will spend your time.Have you ever considered that other people live off of a different calendar than you? What if I told you that other people live off of multiple different calendars than you. As an American, July 4th means something drastically different to me than a person living in the UK. That same time means something completely different for an Israelite who celebrates the Feasts of the Lord, who lived by a drastically different calendar than we do today.This weekend we take a look at the Feast Days given to the Israelites to celebrate all that God has done and all that God will do and maybe you’ll reconsider the calendar you currently live by, without having to toss out Christmas!  Pastor Matt McCarter

    Worship of a Holy God | What To Bring

    What do you say? What do you do? How do you move forward when a relationship has been deeply strained, when your mistakes have been costly and trust has been shaken? We are in a series titled Worship of a Holy God. It is God’s holiness that adds another layer to the relational repair needed in light of the harm we have caused. In my other human relationships I might be able to relieve the burden by pointing the finger. “Yes, I did such and such, but also, they did….” But not with God. His holiness is His perfection. He is not like us. All of the distance, all of the damage, all of the violation of trust is on us. And yet God, in His grace, has made a way. He has not only opened the door, he has invited us in. Pastor Dr. Aaron Weisser

    Worship of a Holy God | God Closes the Gap

    Camping in Alaska is always a fun adventure. We finally got to go a few weeks ago and it always takes some work to gather your camping supplies and pack them up just to hit the road. The excitement builds as we hit the road and find our spot and set up camp. Now the fun begins! Fires, time in the woods, getting wet in an ocean or river, and then fire pit desserts, all under a seemingly never setting sun which makes sleep optional, or at least the kids think so. At some point the magic of camping fades and we begin to long for our home, our bed, the roof that doesn’t drip with dew and for me a back that doesn’t ache. Living in a tent is always a little underwhelming. So why would God do it? In this message, we examine the most boring part of Exodus, the instructions for God’s tent, the Tabernacle. This is arguably the greatest tent in the history of man, not because of its design, but its purpose. The God of all creation had a plan to make Himself known to His people and to give them a better understanding of what we were truly created for! Pastor Matt McCarter

    Worship of a Holy God | I Need a Nap

    What is rest? But actually, do you feel like you know what true rest feels like? Jenny and I have always distinguished between different ways of needing rest. There is sleepy, which is that feeling of about to doze off. And then there is tired, which does not always mean sleepy. We also describe different levels of tired. There is “I need a nap” tired. There is crisis and drama tired. There is “I need a vacation” tired. And then there is the more serious, “I can’t keep doing what I’m doing tired.” This is the kind of tired where I realize something in my life needs to change or I’m gonna wear myself out. Are you tired? Are you finding rest? In this message we launch into a new series about worship and about a God who is holy. And maybe surprisingly, this begins with rest. Come tired, come exhausted, come rested, come sleepy. Either way, come and join us we study Exodus 16 & 20 together this week. Dr. Pastor Aaron Weisser
