The Baptism of our Lord is the focal point of today's worship. John the Baptist, Jesus' cousin, is clear that Jesus' baptism is more than water and repentance.

It is Christmastime! We have two Sundays of Christmas, then we transition to a new season in the church - Epiphany.

The Gospel according to St. Matthew showed us the high King of heaven, clothed in flesh. St. Mark will now show us just how far he comes down to rescue us. This theme of descent to ascent shapes a "V" for victory! Join us as we see the Servant of all, Jesus. Send us Fan Mail

Ruth is a beautiful book of redemption tucked away in the Old Testament between Judges and Samuel. We start a series on Redeeming Ruth for our time.
