“Bless you!” is more than a response when someone sneezes. Offering someone a blessing can transform their day, week or even life. If you want a life that is focused on important things in life, come hear about the transformational ways Christians are called to offer and be a blessing in the world.

“The Shack” is a story of God’s persistent love for us when we have been hurt by life and find it hard to hold on to faith. Come hear how God’s love changed one man’s life in the story of “The Shack” and how you can experience it today, too.

Come hear a “tale as old as time” in a sermon about the power of love to transform a person’s life. We use this classic Disney tale to show how God sees the hidden potential in all of us. It is never too late to become the person God wants us to be.

The story of the women who helped put the first man on the moon shows what can happen when we work together and believe in each other’s gifts. When God helps us overcome our prejudices and biases we can do what seems impossible together. This week we talk about a positive story of people working together and the difference it makes when we take time to see others’ gifts.

Even after all God had given them on their journey, the Israelites spent a lot of time grumbling, criticizing and complaining against Moses and sometimes God. Fear often paralyzes hope and leads to criticism. But Moses has a lot to teach us about how to handle this discouragement and complaint, even in the hardest of times.

Some see the Ten Commandments as a list of rules to hold us down—a bunch of "thou shalt nots." But the Ten Commandments are actually life-giving instructions meant to help us flourish and keep us from harm. Join us as we dive deeper into the powerful lessons Moses learned on Mount Sinai.

Perhaps the most important story in the Old Testament, the exodus from Egypt, defines the story of the Jewish people. It begins with an epic battle between Pharaoh and Moses. In order for Moses to lead, he first had to learn how to listen and follow God's directions. This week we'll discover, like Moses, how our efforts and God's power can work for good in the world.

In every season of life we have the opportunity to make a difference. Moses had an encounter with God in the middle of the desert with no one else around. God put an opportunity in front of him. Come hear about Moses' defining moment and how we can learn from him when faced with our own opportunities.

Have you ever seen fear lead people to act in hurtful ways? Have you ever seen great acts of courage in the face of fear? The story of Moses teaches us how to resist fear and move toward courage. Join us this week as we meet Moses and four courageous women who faced fear and won.

Living in community leads to far greater growth than living in solidarity. Tree growth involves not only gaining new cells, but also shedding old ones. This week we will explore the specific ways that Jesus enables us to grow better together.

Trees in a forest create a microclimate that benefits and protects every member. Jesus also envisioned a microclimate for his followers that would allow them to flourish and grow together. Each one of us plays an important part in creating that environment. Come this Sunday to find out what makes up the perfect microclimate and how you can help make it a reality.

Just like trees in a forest, we are created to live in interdependent relationships with each other. Trees are connected through their roots and become far stronger when together. In the same way, Jesus calls his followers to experience the power of being better together through community. Join us this week to learn “How Community Works.”

Senior Sunday

What does it mean to have enduring love for someone? In the scripture this week, Jesus takes us on a tour of a vineyard to teach us about the sweetness of a love that lasts. Come hear about a love that endures and grows with the seasons.

It is easy to keep moving when love calls us to slow down and take time for kindness. Join us this week as we talk about one of the most familiar stories in the Bible and what it says to us today.

Most of us don’t like to wait. Whether it’s in line at the grocery store or listening for another person to finish his or her sentence, waiting often involves a lot of foot tapping and eye-rolling. This week we will talk about what impatience teaches us about ourselves and how love makes room in our lives for others.

When bad things happen to us or the people we care for, it can be hard to love God. We become disappointed or disillusioned when God does not meet our expectations. How could a loving God allow this? The Psalmist understood this pain. Come discover how to understand and talk with God in the midst of suffering and evil.

Crusades, terrorist attacks and hateful rhetoric done in the name of religion—our world is full of examples of religion causing damage and pain. It’s no wonder that many people ask, “Isn’t religion the problem?” This Sunday we will uncover the real motivation behind these actions and look at ways to make a change.

Doubts are not primarily intellectual but often come from the heart. When something difficult comes up in our relationships, we sometimes waver in our love or become distrustful. This happens not just in our human relationships, but also in our relationship with Christ. Join us this week as we hear what the first Christians had to say about trusting Jesus even when life got hard.

It Is What It Is Watch our Easter service with the powerful music, worship and message as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
