Christ Church - Sumner

We conclude our "Men of Faith" series with a fun review of our study of King David and session on servant leadership. We'll learn about a time when David utilized the authority God had given him to do a very countercultural thing- serve others around him before himself. While the world perpetuates a "self-above others" mentality, Christ suggests that the greatest among us w...

We continue our Men of Faith study of King David with the classic story of David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17). As we take a deeper look into this familiar story, we'll realize that David models to us some great spiritual insights into how to tackle our fiercest giants with God's strength, provision, and hope.

Through the story of David and Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11-12), we learn how  God calls us to seek repentance over past mistakes while embracing grace that allows us to seek holiness in increasing ways.  The need for men of faith to pursue holiness in a generation where that is exceedingly rare has never been more important or consequential. 

Pastor Joshua Strader looks at the calling story of David from 1 Samuel 16. We explore how God's standards are different than the world's when it comes to "success" and priorities.

Sunday service from Christ Methodist Church. Message from Rick Morrison on Grace.

We conclude our Women of Faith study. As Ruth's story comes to an incredible finale, we see how all of the attributes of Ruth's character come together to play into God's intergenerational plan. As Ruth commits to her family, trusts God with her story's imperfections, provides for Naomi through her works of service, and exhibits bold trust to step into God's opportunities, she...

We continue our Women of Faith series by looking at Ruth 3. We'll learn about a time in which Ruth had to take a giant leap of faith in order to provide for her future family. Ruth's boldness to trust God in a unique opportunity opened the door for a hope-filled future for both her and Naomi.

We look closely at how to build up women of faith in our generation today by looking to the example of Ruth. Through Ruth's story, we will explore how God's hope and redemption work through the qualities of loyalty, courage, trust, and faithfulness.

We conclude our year and a half study of Revelation with a look at Jesus' creation of a new heaven and earth. We see how the end of God's story will bring us all back to the origins of God's original design for the earth and each of us.

Sermon on how the drama of human history will one day come to an end and how followers of Jesus can prepare today to participate in the grand finale of God's saving story.

As the celebration of Christ's resurrection from the grave is fresh in our minds and hearts, we take opportunity to learn about how Christ will one day bring forth His saints from the tombs of the fallen and sinful systems of the world. Join us as we continue our journey through Revelation, learning about what the fall of Babylon has to do with Christ's final preparations for a new heaven...

We find new hope, redemption, and life hidden in the death and new life of Christ.

Come along with us as we walk with Jesus in His final steps to the cross. Discover how we can hail Jesus anew as our King today and prepare a space this week to encounter Jesus death and resurrection in a transforming way. 

We continue our study of Revelation with a deep look at Chapter 15 commencing the final trumpet blow and bowl judgments of God. John G. Elliott shows that hidden in this chapter is a unique hymn that connects God's salvation to Moses and the Israelites to the coming final redemption of the Lamb. 

We continue our study of Revelations with a look at Revelation 14. This chapter outlines the hope that believers in all ages can receive as we view our "light and momentary troubles in light of Christ's coming glory" (Romans 8:18). Join us as we rediscover together the hope that Christ's coming tomorrow brings to us today.

We continue in our study of Revelation with a deep dive of chapter 13. We are introduced to the Antichrist and coming challenges for believers that will test our resolve to persevere. We discuss the ways we can build our faith today in preparation for the trials we may soon face tomorrow as we wait patiently for God's purposes to come to full fruition.

We continue our sermon series, “The End,” a study through the book of Revelation. Together, we’ll explore what this powerful and often misunderstood book reveals about hope, faithfulness, and God’s ultimate victory. Revelation invites us not to fear the future, but to live with confidence and perseverance today.

We continue our sermon series, “The End,” a study through the book of Revelation. We explore what this powerful and often misunderstood book reveals about hope, faithfulness, and God’s ultimate victory. Revelation invites us not to fear the future, but to live with confidence and perseverance today.

We look at how God's word directs us to "make the most of every opportunity." As we'll see from Ephesians 5, God encourages us as His followers to live wisely in our witness to others and to be prepared for God to show up in unexpected situations (i.e. like pipes bursting, preventing us to worship in person!).

We return to Revelation for our third installment of our study of the book. As we'll see in the Word together, God desires for His followers to be prepared, confident, and purposeful as they walk into an uncertain future and prepare for Christ's return.

Pastor Joshua hosts a special Q&A session during worship. As we seek God's best and renewal in a new season, he takes some time to answer your questions about the scriptures, faith, and life application of the Bible. Behind each question, we'll be reminded that God's Word provides abundant guidance for those seeking to live for and be renewed in Him in 2026.

A look back at 2025 and forward to 2026 as we seek a Kingdom Vision. Join us for a spiritual “fresh start.”

Rick Morrison leads a discussion on listening based on James 1:19.

Christmas Eve service from Christ Methodist Church - Sumner

Pastor Joshua Strader discusses the greatest gift that accompanied Emmanuel (God with us)...the presence of God's love made manifest in the Son.  While there are countless gifts of hope, peace, and joy that the birth of Christ ushers into the world, it is undeniably the sentiment of God's endearing love that is most profound.
