For 2,000 years Christians have turned to the story and message of John the Baptist in the weeks leading up to Christmas. In each of the Gospels, the story of Jesus is intertwined with his cousin John, the one whom the prophets foretold would come to “prepare the way of the Lord.” Join us as we explore the Advent themes of John’s life and ministry, and how John calls all followers of Jesus to prepare our hearts for his coming.

Most Americans believe in some sort of afterlife and there’s a lot of mystery and a lot of questions around that concept. But there’s a general sense that there is something beyond this life – we refer to it as “heaven,” and it’s a good place… and we just assume we’re going to go there.  But how can we be assured we are going to heaven?

This two-part sermon series explores the major themes of the Bible from the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation. What consistent themes do we see from the beginning to the end of the Bible; and what does that mean for us?

About the Kindness Campaign

‘Do Unto Others’ is a kindness campaign to coincide with the 2024 presidential election. This grassroots movement encourages people to be intentional about treating one another with kindness and overcoming the heightened polarization during the political season with respect and love. The Golden Rule applies to all… including those you disagree with. We believe that by being a community who proudly proclaims this, you have the power to bring people together.

The Apostle Paul took Christianity from its beginning among a small community of Jewish followers into the entire Greco-Roman world. His writings have been read by and influenced more people than any other in western civilization; nearly half of the New Testament was written by him. This series of sermons provides a powerful opportunity for us to look at a life and call that still impacts us today, thousands of years later.

“At The Movies” is a fun summer series where we show movie clips from popular current films of this past year along with a message that connects the popular movies with scripture. You probably don’t usually look to movies for life lessons, but take our word for it—sit back, relax, and hear a different perspective on how popular films can point us toward the gospel.

We all know we should go to church. Most of us have been baptized. And we’ve likely all taken the bread and juice or wine of Holy Communion. But why do these things matter? Why did Jesus constitute and command us to participate in them? What power do they have to change our lives? In this three-part series we will rediscover how the Holy Spirit works in and through the Church and the sacraments of baptism and Holy Communion to bless us, shape us, and help us to experience God’s grace.

The book of Genesis is the first book of the Bible, and opens with one of the most famous first sentences of any literary work: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” It’s where we find the famous stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah and the ark, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  But what do these ancient stories mean for us today in the 21st century?  Join us as we explore these foundational stories in the book of Genesis.
