Stand Against
Daniel chapter 5 tells of the destruction of Babylon and its haughty king. There are ways that
we, too, live with little concern for our sin and neglect God. This Sunday we see “the writing
on the wall” and are called to repent and turn fully to God. Our destruction can be averted!

Because of the Holy Spirit burning within us, we can do right no matter what we face! We begin with the Daniel as a teenager. He was presented with an amazing offer.

- May 28, 2021Holy Heartburn

- May 21, 2021The Church on Fire
The Church on FireThis Sunday we celebrate Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost is the birthday of the Church! We
light the birthday candles and proclaim that God’s holy fire is given to live within each one
of us. This changes everything! The Holy Spirit changes us from the inside out. He changes
how we live each day. He changes the Church. He changes our world. This Sunday come
asking for the Holy Fire to live–and burn!–within you! - May 14, 2021Answered Prayer
Answered PrayerThere are many gods we can pray to, but our key question is which one will answer us? This
Sunday we go with Elijah to the top of Mt. Carmel where God as an all-consuming fire
comes down in answer to prayer. Seeing this, we correct our worship and switch our
allegiance wholly to this God who is real and who answers our prayers. Only the true God
can be our true help. - May 7, 2021Fire of Protection
Fire of ProtectionOur God is an all-consuming fire of protection. Just as good mothers protect their children,
so God protects and fights for us. When we put our trust in God, we will be carried through
all the attacks of our enemies, even if that means being carried safely into eternal life. - Apr 30, 2021Anchored Disciples
Anchored DisciplesWhat an exciting Sunday - it’s Confirmation Sunday! Our three Confirmation students will all share their faith testimonies and publicly commit to follow Jesus.

Bring a hat and lawn chair, or there will also be spaces for drive-in worship.
- Apr 26, 2021Final Fire
Final FireGod’s fire burns throughout the Bible, and we see it dramatically at the End Times in Revelation. But what is the purpose of God’s burning fire at the Last Day? It’s not for punishment! Rather, it’s for purity. We invite God’s fire to purify us, and then it lights a fire under us to go live today by sharing the joy of Jesus with others.
- Apr 16, 2021Consuming Fire
Consuming FireWe often think of God as a smiling grandparent who accepts us however we are. This is true, for God does accept us just as we are. Yet God loves us too much to leave us the way we are. God’s holiness perfects us, refining us into the full intention for who God created us to be. God is an all-consuming fire!
- Apr 2, 2021Strange Fire
Strange FireEaster started a strange fire that continues to burn. God is again revealed as an all-consuming fire. On Easter the two disciples on the Road to Emmaus felt their hearts burning. Two weeks later, Jesus shows up at the side of the Sea of Galilee and kindles a fire. At that fire, He reinstates Peter (and them all) and re-commissions them to their calling. Living as Easter people means following our God of all-consuming fire and living as people of the Strange Fire!
- Apr 2, 2021Empty Tomb
Empty TombWe celebrate with fear and excitement as the women did that first Easter morning! The tomb is empty and in turn, we can fully live. Thanks be to God! What should our response be to such good news? To empty ourselves of all else so that Jesus Himself can fill us full with the Holy Spirit!
- Mar 26, 2021Empty Savior
Empty SaviorWe explore the passion of our Savior as He makes His way to the cross. It is a grueling process made all the more unbearable as Jesus empties Himself so that He is able to carry out the will of the Father. We enter into this journey so we can know what such a sacrifice means for us and for the entire world.
- Mar 19, 2021Empty Hands
Empty HandsWhat can we offer God? Less than we might think. The truth is, anything we bring before him belonged to him in the first place. We come before God empty-handed and that is just the way he intended it to be.
- Feb 26, 2021Empty Words
Empty WordsTalk is cheap. Anyone can utter a promise, but it is the subsequent action that matters. It is easy to point out hypocrisy and lies in others, but what comes out of our own mouths? Are our words empty of meaning or do they bless, encourage, speak truth, and provide insight? It is time for us to watch our mouths.
