Jesus shows us that when we are in the darkness of the valley, He is with us by absorbing our anger, partaking in our grief, and dispensing a deeper hope. 

In “God With Us in the Ordinary,” Petey talks about the importance of attending to God’s presence in the everyday moments of life. To kickoff the Advent series Petey encourages us that God will do his extraordinary work in our ordinary lives.   

In the final “More than MN Nice” series, Petey encourages us to make space in our lives for new people so that we might show them the love of Christ. 

Petey talks about how the calling of Christ involves way more than comfort. The God who sacrifices His life for us calls his followers into fulfilling lives of courageous sacrifice and love of others.

In a world where we so often we don’t say what we really mean, the church is called to be a community that speaks the truth in love to one another so that we grow in Christlikeness together.

When we accept God’s deep and all-encompassing love for us, we can risk having relationships that are deeper than the surface level.

In this sermon, Petey talks about how we can practice receiving the love of Jesus by receiving help from others rather than insisting on carrying our burdens alone.

Petey talks about the calling of Christ-followers to love one another by making space in our lives, even when we’ve been taught to view ourselves as “relationally full.”

Petey preaches on how there’s more to life than just pretending we’re fine. Being honest with God and others about our brokenness is the best way for healing to start.

Petey kicks off the More than MN Nice sermon series with a look at how our efforts to prove how good we are can sabotage our openness to God’s gracious love.

In the final sermon of this series, Petey talks about the need to move forward with hope in the midst of contentious political and social seasons. The church, and therefore Christ-followers, have a much higher calling to do good and love others.

Pastor Emily shares how wisdom is a virtue that helps see the world truthfully and act rightly. We can cultivate wisdom for civic life through immersing ourselves in the story of scripture, exercising media hygiene, and attending to the cries of the vulnerable and disadvantaged.

Petey preaches on the importance of humility as we stand for Christlikeness this upcoming election season.

Petey explains how Christians can begin to approach the upcoming election with Christlikeness by loving our neighbors and resisting the temptation to use our words to bring evil into the lives of others.

We learn from Abraham this week that God is trustworthy, even with the most important things. And a fully surrendered life leads to experiencing the fullness of God.

Pastor Melissa shares that God calls us to open every part of our lives to Him. No part of your story is irredeemable.

In Genesis 18, Pastor Emily tells us the story of how God appears to Sarah and Abraham to remind them that nothing is too hard for Him.

Petey’s sermon on Genesis 17 shows how God uniquely marks Abraham and his descendants as a reminder of God’s promise, and how Christ followers have our whole lives marked with the reminder that God makes good on His promises.

Our God is a God of redemption; He is always moving and He shows us in tangible ways through Hagar’s story what it means for Him to show up and transform in the midst of really hard circumstances. Pastor Carrie shares how Hagar’s story is one of trauma and turmoil, but through it all she shows us what deep trust in God looks like.

Pastor Melissa shares how God sustains us in seasons of waiting by protecting us and providing for us in ways that only He can.

In the opening sermon for a series on the life of Abraham, Petey walks through God’s original call to Abraham and how it shows God’s desire to redeem the world through one family and its descendants.
