The Guiding Light

The Wisemen followed the star for two years. What guides your life? Can you be the guiding light for someone else?

The Message of Christmas (Thursday Evening Service)

God loves you as you are. He's not waiting for you to be ready for Him, to become more religious, or to get your life right.

What Child is This?

Jesus was born "to preach good news to the poor... to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners."

The Gift of Christmas (Thursday Evening Service)

Christmas is the fulfillment of God's promise, the birth of grace, and the beginning of the end of evil. It is our reason for hope.

The Heralds and the Hopeful

Do we, like the angels, bear witness to what we already know? Do we, like the shepherds, embrace the hope of Jesus' coming?

Thanksgiving Communion

Thank God for all the blessings, big and small, that He sprinkles through our lives, and remember: nothing compares to the Cross.

Commitments: Baptisms & New Members

Baptism symbolizes the death of the old life, our cleansing, and the rebirth to new life. Church membership is a commitment to the Body of Christ. We celebrate these commitments to Jesus.

Commitments: Child Dedications

God entrusts us with children, His treasures. Child dedications are our commitment to raise them in His name.

Commitments: Communion

Communion reminds us of God's commitment to come back and restore everything. And to love us and work in us now.

The Living Dead (Thursday Evening Service)

In zombie movies, the living dead are out of place. Single-minded. Fearless. All but unstoppable. Does that describe we who are also free from death?

Even Weeds Have Flowers

What looks good may not be. What looks hopeless may hide beauty. Even those who annoy us are loved by God.

God is Like... Sushi (Thursday Evening Service)

God is like sushi. He's different. He's dangerous. And He's meant to be taken raw - as He is - not dressed up with what He's not.

Chess

Christianity is like chess. Our opening move is important, but not everything. Commit to a plan of attack. Set up to finish well.

Peace

Jesus died to introduce us to Peace. We think of Peace as being related to Circumstances, but Jesus wants us to have the real thing.

Faith

Faith is your friend with the crazy, unsafe ideas. But he knows God, and what He's up to. How well do you know Faith?

Grace

"Grace. It's a name for a girl. It's also a thought that changed the world." -Nichole Nordemann, Grace.She's a friend we need to make and a friend we should probably be taking to our parties.

Making New Friends

Communion

God With Us

Religion & Relationship

Why doesn't religion do what it's supposed to? Actually, what IS it supposed to do?

A Work In Progress

Everyone is a work in progress, but what's the goal?

The Power of a Testimony

What does your life say?

To The Moon & Back

In 1962 President Kennedy challenged the nation to enter the "space race"...and to win it! Though it cost money, time, resources & lives, the nation rose to occasion and accomplished the "impossible". Are we still capable of that today? Is the Church capable of that? Are we even interested?

Ya Never Know

It's easy to dismiss someone, harder to believe in them

The Proposal

Made any of your own?

The Terminator

The story of a ruthless enemy who seemingly can't be stopped and will stop at nothing until we are dead. Can this be our story?

Transformers

Tranformation is key to our story, but what does that mean and what should it look like?

Wolverine: Summertime Superheroes

Every summer at least one "superhero" movie comes out. And we flock to them! Maybe it's time we make our own.

Star Trek: Rock Stars or Red Shirts?

Finding God at the movies

Up

Up. Fun movie. Great idea.
