On a recent camping trip, my wife and I had the opportunity to sit by a campfire and enjoy time together in the woods. The campfire was a pleasant experience as we would warm ourselves in the evening by the flames. By morning time, the fire had died down to just a few embers that were still burning. It didn’t take long to rekindle the fire and getting it going again to help with the morning chill. I am reminded…

Join us on September 15th as we see what makes the angels rejoice. All of us at times have lost something important for us. Do you remember finding that lost item and how happy you were when you found it? We are going to look at what happens when someone discovers the joy of a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Celebration breaks out in the midst of that breakthrough.

When you read these words, “The Flip Side of Justice” you may be wondering what in the world does that mean. In worship on August 11th, we will dive into the meaning of this. The prophet Isaiah challenges the people of Judah and us to live beyond ourselves. Isaiah 1:17 point us in the direction of justice saying “stop doing wrong, learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the orphan, plead the case of…
Join us on August 4th as we unpack the story of the rich fool found in Luke 12:13-21. Jesus tells us this parable to help us do some self examination on where we are in our relationship with God. Are we investing our lives in things eternal or are we investing in things that are not? We are challenged to be rich in the things of God instead of storing up treasures for ourselves. This is what brings true joy…
We are excited about worship this coming Sunday, July 28th. We will be exploring the topic of prayer as found in Luke 11. The disciples ask Jesus to teach them to pray.

Join us in worship as we seek to understand in a deeper way what prayer means…
