Have you ever thought you were headed in the right direction, only to discover you are way off course? This week we will examine the story of the Apostle Paul’s u-turn in life. Paul’s life takes a radical turn when he hears Jesus. How does Jesus direct us to turn around?

Getting ready for a Summer adventure? By mid-May many of us are looking forward to some kind of experience about to come. In this podcast we begin our first summer series called "Road Trip." The spiritual life is an adventure for sure, so what clues can we take from a road trip to inform our faith life? We begin this week with "Hit the Road"

In the words of Pope John Paul II, "‘without hope, there is no faith." Hope serves as the bedrock of our faith, enabling us to navigate life’s toughest trials and continue moving forward each day. But how do we nurture and sustain hope? That’s the question we’ll delve into during this podcast.

In the Gospel of John Jesus makes a number of statements about his identity.  "I am the bread of life." "I am the light of the world." "I am the good shepherd."  All of them tell us something different about who he is.  In this podcast, we reach the last of these statements, and there is something different about this one.  It is the only "I am" statement fo...

Perhaps Psalm 23 is a universally known and beloved Psalm that reminds us about the ways in which God watches over us. The Gospel Lesson reminds us that Jesus told us that he is our Good Shepherd. What does that mean for us? Join us in this podcast as we explore the trust we can place in Jesus.

Join us in this podcast as we learn more about important scripture. This week we focus on the topic, Laying Down One's Life for Another.

Is seeing believing? It was exactly one week after Easter morning when Thomas was not ready to believe Jesus was resurrected without seeing the nail marks which got him the nickname "Doubting Thomas." In this podcast we explore this question through the lens of Thomas. 

Happy Easter! This Sunday we gather to celebrate the Good News of Jesus' Resurrection and his victory. But you may wonder, "where can I see and experience the resurrected Jesus?" Join us in this podcast as we explore that important question.

This Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week as we remember Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. It was a day of celebration when people waved palm branches and spread them on the road to welcome the one whom they believed would save them.  Jesus came into the world to do that and to show the world love, yet that love was not without risk. As we continue our sermon series this week called "Foolis...

When you hear the word "prodigal" what first comes to mind? We have a specific understanding of it from the Biblical story we call "The Prodigal Son." You might be surprised as to the real meaning of that word with fresh insight into God in a familiar story. In this podcast we'll explore "Foolish Love is Prodigal." 

Have you ever had anything in such abundance that you felt like there was waste?  This week join us as we explore "Foolish Love is Wasteful" in our Lenten sermon series.

One of the typical phrases I used to hear as a dad and certainly said as a child is "that's not fair!" As a child, things really did feel unfair, but as a parent I understood my decision process that may have felt unfair to one or both of our boys, but I understood there was greater good that would be the outcome. Foolish Love demonstrated by Jesus and passed on to us has lots of opp...

As we are growing up, we are often taught that we need to "follow the rules." Yet Jesus didn't always do that. Join us on this second Sunday of Lent as we continue our sermon series called "Foolish Love" and explore the idea that sometimes love means breaking the rules.

This Sunday is the first Sunday of the season of Lent. Our series called "Foolish Love" gives us the opportunity to explore that the love Jesus leads us to share with the world could be considered "foolish." Jesus' ways are not the world's ways. This week we kick off the series with "Foolish Love . . . Forgives." 

Join us for our Ash Wednesday podcast as we mark the beginning of Lent and ask the question - What is love?

Scripture tells us to "Rejoice in the Lord always." How do we do that? Join us in this podcast as we explore this question.

This week brings the conclusion of our "Wrestling with Doubt" series with what might be the single most difficult question of faith that leads to doubt: "Why do the Innocent Suffer?" We have lots of things we have learned to say in these difficult situations to try to make some sense of it, but they often falls short. In this podcast we will explore this question, seeking deepe...

Perhaps one of the most challenging questions that can lead to wrestling with doubt is when prayers go unanswered. Many struggle with faith when it seems God is silent in response to our most fervent prayers. Let's explore that question in this podcast as we continue our "Wrestling with Doubt" series. 

We continue this Sunday with our series "Wrestling with Doubt." We have lots of questions about faith and sometimes it leads us to doubt. In this series we are exploring four common places where Christians have questions. In this podcast we continue with the question "Is Jesus the Only Way?" 

Have you ever struggled with doubt in your faith journey? It's not at all unusual - we all experience it from time to time.  It's not a sign of weakness. It all depends on what you do with it. In this podcast we begin our new series "Wrestling with Doubt" where we will explore four common places Jesus followers often have questions. This week: "Is the Bible True?"

The preparation is complete. The Lord has come. What do we do now? Join us as we prepare to enter a new year and consider how we will respond to the gift of Jesus.

Join us to hear through the Scriptures once again about the hope, peace, joy, and love that can be found in Jesus.

Have you ever been in the situation of looking for something and someone points it out? The world was waiting for, looking for, longing for the Messiah. In our text this week, we see this guy, John, pointing to the "Light" so all might believe and see. The light was the Messiah who came to dispel all darkness. Join us in this podcast as we explore how pointing to the "Light" is...

The second Sunday of Advent each year brings us John the Baptist - likely one of the most eccentric characters of the Jesus story. He did, however, have one of the most important jobs of preparation. In our Advent series, "Prepare," this week, we'll take some cues from John to "Get Ready."
