Today our worship focus is the third of three Sundays focused on the story of Jonah. In this final chapter, Jonah is mad at God. The reasons may seem appropriate for some and silly to others. But we all know what it is to be mad and some even dare to be mad at God. Sometimes we can be mad at God for a long time. Our focus today will be on what that meant to Jonah and what it means for us when our mad is all we have to give to God. Support the show...
Today our worship focus is the second of three Sundays focused on the story of Jonah. Last Sunday, we heard Jonah’s call, his response and reflected on the call God has for each of us. Today, we discover the surprise of where a call from God can take us. Sometimes it lands us in slimy goo and at other times in places of transformation. Support the show
Today begins a three part story on the book of Jonah. Many mistakenly think Jonah is a children’s story about a man in the belly of a whale. It would be easier if that were true, but it is about much more. Today we hear the call of Jonah, his response and the consequences we know more about than we may first think. Come and Worship as we consider, “God, why call me?” Support the show
If Jesus calls us friend, what does that mean to us? How do we respond to that gift that he has given us? Today we explore these questions. Support the show
We celebrate Mothers. We celebrate Women. We hear from a woman doing remarkable ministry on our behalf in Liberia. Today in our worship, we also remember that God commanded we find time for rest and renewal, that we take a break from all the things that push in on us and find our center. Today we worship.

Jesus asks us, “Who do you say that I am.” Throughout the year, our confirmands have been answering this question as they’ve grown in faith and prepared to make a commitment to Christ and his church today. It’s a question we all need to wrestle with—who do we understand Christ to be? It’s a question fundamental to our faith and our Christian identity. So who is Christ to you? Support the show
Do you know of any who need healing? What parts of your life are broken? What relationships are you in that need to be restored or laid aside? Who do you know that needs the gift of a new chance and a new future? Lift them up to the Lord. Offer yourself today in worship. Then let the power of Christ be the hope, strength and blessing you thought was no longer possible. Yes, Christ can heal. He really can. Support the show
We have heard the Easter story many times. We know that Mary went to the tomb and wept when she found the body of Jesus missing. Twice she was asked why she was weeping. Wouldn’t that have been obvious? What are we to do with our tears and what does faith have to say about the moments of our lives when tears flow? Come and worship the Risen Lord. Support the show
So what do you believe God can do? No, I mean really. When it counts. Not in theory, but when it matters. Abraham was in one of those moments when life took him to an impossible place and he had to answer the question. So do we. Come and let us worship the God of immeasurable possibilities.

The joy of knowing that Christ is Risen remains in our worship. Our focus in worship today begins a series on, The Questions God Asks Us. How are we to live now as the Easter People in the world? We begin by going back to one of the first questions God ever asked us and is still relevant today. Come and Worship and Celebrate as we live in the presence of the Risen Christ. Support the show
