Apr 24, 2016But Wait, There’s More!By: Pastor DavidSeries: Stepping Through the Open DoorGenesis 3:1-8What color are the lenses of your glasses? I don’t mean your prescription glasses, or your shades, or fashion eyewear. I’m talking about the lenses you use to look at the world. How does the way you look at the world control what you see? The message this Sunday takes up the offer that God gives to each of us to look at the world differently, to see different possibilities, to see open doors that we can’t otherwise see. Come Sunday for a vision exam!

How do we work up the courage to embrace change? How do we know? Don’t miss this Sunday as we learn how God opens doors in front of us, and our faith removes the paralyzing fear to actually go!

Mar 6, 2016But Lord, the Smell Will Be Awful!By: Pastor DavidSeries: More Like Falling in LoveJohn 11:38-44Jesus raised a man named Lazarus from the dead.

In what ways do you need Jesus to come and bring new life to you? What in your life is dead and needs raising? Come this Sunday to hear how the Jesus who raised Lazarus will also raise you. Your faith will be strengthened and you will be lifted up!

Feb 28, 2016Do You Want to Get Well?By: Pastor DavidSeries: More Like Falling in LoveJohn 5:1-15Do you want to get well?” This Sunday, we’ll hear Jesus ask this question to a man who was sick for 38 years! Seems like kind of a dumb question, right? But Jesus was asking the man if he still had his inner longing for a better life, and, even after all the hardships and barriers constantly in his life, if he still had his dreams. It’s a question Jesus asks of us, too. Don’t miss this Sunday when we will hear Jesus ask us, “Do you want to get well?”

Who helps you when you are in need of help? Who helps you get to where you need to go? Who carries you to God when you need healing? We can’t go it alone, you know. Jesus intended us to have friends who will be our “stretcher-bearers.” Come this Sundayto her how Jesus cares about us enough to put people around us to help us. We’re not alone! It’s more like falling in love!

Come hear King Herod's voice of deception as he fears the new kingdom that Jesus establishes. Yet he does not understand that Jesus is not an earthly king. His kingdom is not of this world. We also struggle to understand how Jesus is our king. The magi bring the voice of adoration, as they bow down to worship the new king. This is our response to Christmas. We come to worship Him, too.

- Nov 15, 2015The Invincible Iron Man: Being a Good Steward
Nov 15, 2015The Invincible Iron Man: Being a Good StewardBy: Pastor DavidMatthew 25:21,23Tony Stark is a handsome, genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist. Yet, his life is aimless, until he realizes he needs to stop selfishly squandering all he has been given on his own pleasure and amusement and instead use his resources and his very life to help others. Stark’s change of heart (pun intended, as he has a critical heart condition!) helps us think through our own stewardship of what God has given us. Each of us is rich in our own way. How are we using our money, our mind and talents, our relationships, and our health to glorify God and serve others heroically? (P.S. And, we also have a suit of armor - check out Ephesians 6!)
- Nov 8, 2015Captain America – Serving God and Country
Nov 8, 2015Captain America – Serving God and CountryBy: Pastor DavidMatthew 17:27November 11 is Veterans Day. We stop to give thanks to all those who have served our country and helped make it such a great nation. Yet we realize that our country also struggles to do what is right and good. We are in an election year, and as we watch the rhetoric, we wonder if as a country we are able to rise above our differences and work together for what makes our country great. In the comic world, Captain America embodies all that is good about veterans and the ideals for which they have always fought. This Sunday we will use the figure of Captain America to explore how we, as people of faith who strive to serve God heroically, should we live out our faith as American citizens. Don’t miss it!
