Sunday Messages

The resurrection of Jesus Christ means that suffering leads to victory, and sin is no longer the master of our lives.

The problem of sin is resolved and redeemed by Jesus’ death on the cross, making it possible for all who believe, to be reunited with God.

Just like you’ve always suspected, deep down, there actually is something wrong with you. And you’re not the only one.

This week we explore the first “facet” of a more complete gospel by starting with the Good News that when God created the world- he declared humanity (including you!) “very good.”

This message launches our 2024 Year of Good News and considers why it’s so critical to clarify and expand our understanding of what it means to believe, share, and live The Gospel.

Dec 31 is the last day of the year and the final Sunday in our Year With Jesus. Gather with your people, or find a quiet place to worship alone. Let's focus on Jesus together.

Christmas- the day we Receive, Celebrate, and Share the Angel's proclamation to the shepherds: "Behold! I bring you Good News of Great Joy that will be for ALL people: Today- in Bethlehem- the Savior of the world is born!"

Just as the Israelites awaited the arrival of The Christ, Christians now await the promised return of Jesus. This week, we live into the story of Simeon, who praised God that the time of waiting for The Christ, was over.

During Jesus’ finite years on earth, he accomplished all that was expected and required of The Christ- namely securing the salvation of God’s people. This week, we live into Zechariah’s story, as one who saw and celebrated God’s saving work in the baby to be born.

The glorious mystery of the Trinity holds that Jesus always existed as The Christ, even before he was conceived and born to a virgin. This week, we live into Mary’s story, as the one who carried God in flesh.

“Christ” is not Jesus’ last name! It’s the title that sets him apart from every man. This week, we live into Joseph’s story- as one of the first to hear of the extraordinary significance of the baby to be born.

Jesus was a miracle worker. He commanded the supernatural out of the natural, causing many to believe he was who he said he was.

Jesus was known (and criticized) for the “crowd he kept.” Religious leaders did not typically associate with the people that Jesus valued and befriended.

Being "with Jesus" requires slowing down long enough to rest and listen. This week, Pastor Jenn reflects on how sabbatical rest opened the space to be with Jesus in new and richer ways, and invites us to step into holy rest this Labor Day weekend.

This weekend our Pastors, Ryan and Jenn Alexander, returned from a 4 month sabbatical. This time was set apart for them to Rest, Renew, and Be With Jesus. We heard about what they did, but more importantly we heard them reflect on what God did in their souls during this sacred time. Our conversation today allows us the opportunity to consider the metaphors and themes they brought forward for inspi...

Jesus was a healer. With the touch of his hand, he healed short term illnesses, and lifelong diseases. With his voice, he commanded evil spirits to cease tormenting people. And he told his followers they could and would do the same. What could happen today, if we were open to asking Jesus for healing?
