From the Pulpit

In light of recent events, we wanted to take a few moments to talk about fear, anxiety and worry. For many, when those topics are mentioned, our minds immediately go to Philippians 4. Pastor Josiah walks through verses 6 to 9 of this chapter, discussing how we can prepare a Planned Biblical Response for fear, anxiety and worry.  Want to go deeper? Listen to Pastor Josiah and Pastor Andrew Lon...

If you have ever spent significant time  around children you’ve probably, at one time or another, been caught in  the time-stopping vortex of unrelenting questions: Why? Why? How? What? Why? When? Oh, and Why? While this dizzying spiral can be overwhelming, it can simultaneously  serve as a wonderful indicator of a developing young mind and a curious  spirit. In the first half...

We  rightly expect children to grow up. We expect them to develop at a  particular rate, along an expected and proven trajectory, and with  predictable and visible results. So anticipatory is their maturation, in  fact, that, when it fails to occur, there’s often sadness,  disappointment, or concern. As Christians, we need to understand that  what we expect for our ph...

Every faithful Christian church is comprised of believers who are called  to engage the culture in which they have been providentially placed for  the glorious purposes of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Lord himself  said, “Let your light shine before others” (Matt 5:16), “Go and make  disciples” (Matt 28:19), and “you will be my witnesses” (Acts 1:8). As  individual Chri...

Our world and our lives can be difficult, often filled with suffering, grief, persecution, and confusion. We need a source of strength and comfort to get us through.

The opening stanza of the popular  “Serenity Prayer” is as wise as it is hope-filled: “God grant me the  serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the  things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.” The circumstances of  life are as varied as the people who experience them. Some we can change  and control, asking God for the courage...

Key Passage: 1 Peter 2:11-3:12 Speaker: Josiah Boyd

When we read the Bible, there are things we are commanded to do. And whether because of our immaturity, the culture around us, or our sinful nature (or most likely a combo of the three), we often find ourselves asking "why"? As we continue to study the words of Peter to the scattered church of first century believers, we're going to see two pairs of imperatives or commands that Peter has for his r...

The Bible is realistic as it explains the hardships we will endure in life - but there is good news in Christ!
