Pastor Bruce Garner // NEW SERIES: GROWING UP Before we return to our “through books of the Bible” approach, I am excited to share a four-week series with you! “Growing Up” will capture the basics of our growth as disciples of Jesus. Ponder Matthew 22:34-40 before we gather for worship this Sunday as we consider the commandment God gave us to LOVE. Later in the year we will explore the gospel of L...

Pastor Bruce Garner // JESUS THE DIVIDER A few years ago, a good friend started reading the gospels carefully, and Jesus made him a little uncomfortable. He’d read the Bible for many years, but somehow missed the hard edges! This Sunday, we will hear Jesus speak about what makes Him SO DIFFERENT. I’ll just tell you right now: He’s WORTH IT. You should listen to Him and love Him. There’s no one lik...

Pastor Bruce Garner // READY? OR NOT? DOES GOD HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE ANGRY? As we listen to Jesus in the gospel of Luke this Sunday, I can nearly guarantee you’ll feel the tension of that question. You may have never Jesus’ words from the end of Luke before, but they are vitally important. Jesus tells His disciples in urgent, eternal terms exactly what is coming! Wise people will listen and be grea...

Pastor Bruce Garner // WORRY MUCH? A lot of us do. It’s a quietly destructive epidemic in our country. This Sunday we will return to the gospel of Luke to listen to Jesus tell us how to deal with it. It has helped me to hear Him this week, and I am sure He will help you, too. I hope you’ll join me and bring a friend to worship - 9:00a, 10:30a or 5:30p!

Pastor Bruce Garner // WHO NEEDS COMMUNITY? Years ago a Harvard professor published research in a now-famous book, “Bowling Alone.” Our sense of community was fraying, he argued. We were growing lonely and alienated in America. It was true then, and most would say it is even worse now. This Sunday, I’m going to share a passage that is challenging to me. It directs and encourages me as a pastor. It...

Pastor Bruce Garner // WHAT IS GOD’S WILL FOR US? That’s what we will discover from God’s Word on Sunday! I hope you’ll join us at 9:00a, 10:30a or 5:30p. I need to hear from the Lord and be sure I am on His plan, not following my own!

Pastor Bruce Garner // GIFTED? “Gifted.” It’s a word we hear often. Gifted kids, athletes, artists, speakers, and entertainers. As we continue our new series, “Callled,” we will examine a majestic Scripture in Ephesians 4. If you trust God and BELIEVE what He tells you in it, it will change your view of God, yourself, and others. I hope you’ll be here Sunday! Services are at 9:00a, 10:30a, and 5:3...

Pastor Bruce Garner // ONE BIBLICAL TRUTH TO FOCUS YOUR WHOLE LIFE As a lifelong Christian and third generation minister, I’m allergic to hype. There’s just too much artificial buzz and promotion. But years ago I saw something that the Bible clearly teaches, and it refocused our family’s life. It has always been in the Bible, and it is very clear, but it is seldom taught. I understand why, but it...

Pastor Bruce Garner // Trust makes all the difference. It’s the way life works: when trust is gone, it’s OVER.  The relationship, the joy, the peace; all of it.   As we conclude our series in the Psalms this Sunday, we’ll visit a time in Israel’s history when they were pressured and afraid.  In their collective song, we will find the basis of trust that can take us through the hard days.  I hope y...

Pastor Bruce Garner // Did you talk to yourself today? I did! (To myself, that is. Probably not to you.) Self-talk is a BIG factor in your joy in life and it will help you to listen to David talk to himself in Psalm 103. It’s been a strength to me for many years. I hope you’ll join us this Sunday at 9:00 or 10:30am. Bring a friend with you!

Pastor Bruce Garner // #Blessed It’s such a common word, it’s nearly a cliché. People use it as a greeting, a way to say goodbye, or even a way to brag on the internet. (Shocking, I know.) As we keep moving through the playlist of Psalms, we will keep to one that sings over and over about blessings from God. Want to be blessed? Come hear Israel sing, and see what they can teach us!

Pastor Bruce Garner // WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES PSALM 23 MAKE? No journey through the Psalms would be very good if we did not stop in Psalm 23. “The LORD is my Shepherd,” David said. The familiar, beautiful words contain treasures and comfort that may surprise you. Come worship Sunday at 9:00a, 10:30a, or 5:30p and bring a friend!

Pastor Bruce Garner // A Song for Stressful Times Last Sunday we began a new series on the Psalms. As I explained they are a playlist for every emotion and season - songs for a life with God in every key. This Sunday, Psalm 4 presents us an evening song - a song for peace, rest and sleep - even when the world is falling apart around you. King David, with more pressure and more enemies than any of...

Pastor Bruce Garner // THE GOOD LIFE Everyone’s trying to live it. It’s the reason a lot of people move here (and the reason others leave). What is it, exactly? This Sunday we will begin a new series in the Psalms and the first Psalm we will explore answers that question. This recurring series will take us through every emotion and season of life: lament and mourning, fear and anger, as well as jo...

Pastor Bruce Garner // FEELING A LITTLE DOWN? Plenty of people are. There is often a letdown right after Christmas. That’s why this Sunday I am going to share Psalm 13 with you. In it, you can watch a man who feels that God has forgotten him work through his sorrow with brokenness, faith, and, ultimately, hope. I hope you’ll join me and come with a heart open to what God can do for you and through...

Pastor Bruce Garner // The last several people I’ve talked to have been under a great deal of stress. Perhaps you are, too. Consider this: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 That is the promise, and that is the reality of the bir...

Pastor DJ McMoil // SUNDAY: YOUTH PASTOR CANDIDATE DJ MCMOIL! We’ve had a wonderful week getting to know Pastor DJ, his wife Kristen, and their son. DJ will be preaching in all services this Sunday. He taught our junior and senior high Bible study this Wednesday, and I’ve never heard a room so quiet and focused! I know he will be a blessing to you. Please pray for our church family and for the McM...
