On June 8, Patrick teaches from Proverbs 1, on How to Think. Wisdom is not just knowing facts but knowing how to process life and react in any given moment. It's a skill and an art ... and one seemingly absent from our society today. Rather than just dig in our heels on views we've taken from cable news or social media, God invites us to explore His design for the world and learn how to think.

ON SUNDAY JUNE 1 @ 9:30 & 11:00 LOOKING TO JESUS IN THE LORD'S SUPPER - 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 What did Jesus mean when He told His disciples that they must eat His flesh and drink His blood to have eternal life? What about during the Last Supper when He said of the bread, "This is my body," and of the wine, "This is my blood,"? Different denominations have suggested a spectrum of beliefs conc...

(11:00) ON SUNDAY MAY 25 @ 9:30 & 11:00 Our Student Minister, Beth Anderson, concludes the "I Have a Question" series with a message on how to deal with guilt. Guilt can either crush us or lead us closer to Jesus-it all depends on what we do with it. The Bible is full of people who wrestled with guilt, and their stories show us the difference between being destroyed by it and being restored th...

Sex is that great unaddressed topic in the church. And yet, sex seems to be the only topic front and center everywhere else! What does the Bible say about sexuality. What is sinful and what is not? And what should be not only our practice, but what should our conversations about sex look like, especially with those who don’t share the Christian faith or our perspective on the Christian faith?

ON SUNDAY MAY 11 @ 9:30 & 11:00 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE? Revelation 21:1-5 | Benjamin Franklin summarized one great truth about human life when he said, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” But death is far less certain than one may think. Is death it? Despite all the speculation from culture and even church tradition what actually happens at death? And w...

On May 4, Patrick Edwards continues his series called, I Have a Question, with this message on Why Do Bad Things Happen. Job 2:10 | If God is good and all-powerful, then surely, He wouldn’t allow pain? Or even if He did allow it to bad people, then not good people…right? But sometimes the bad in this world thrive and the good suffer. What about the innocent born into poverty, famine, or abuse? Suf...

On April 27 at 11:00, Patrick Edwards has a message called, Can I Trust the Bible, part 1 of his series, I Have a Question. Mark 16:9-20 | As we ask our questions, we must be first clear on where we’re looking for the answers. The Bible claims that it is trustworthy, but can we believe that? Isn’t that a self-referential argument and claim? As we kick off our new series we begin with the most basi...

[ 11:00 Service ] On Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, Patrick teaches about the apostle Paul, from Acts 9:1-31. We wouldn’t hold the beliefs we do unless we thought they were right, just as we wouldn’t live the lives we do unless we thought it was best. But, often, we become so stuck in those ways that we’re unwilling to consider anything else. The Resurrection of Jesus requires us to each deconstru...

On Good Friday, April 18, 2025, Patrick teaches from Colossians 2:13-15. What happened on the cross? How did the death of Jesus obtain salvation from sin? What exactly makes Good Friday so good? This Good Friday we’re invited to explore how the death of Jesus did even more than just rescue us from Hell but was the moment of victory of the visible and invisibles powers of this present world.

On April 13, Patrick concludes the Genesis series with this message called, Where We're Going from Genesis 46-50. As God brings Jacob and his family into safety and abundance, we see that even then the journey isn’t over. Egypt isn’t their final destination. God’s plans far exceed what they could have imagined and the same is still true today!

On April 6, Patrick brings a message called, the Unfolding of the Masterpiece, from Genesis 42-45.  When it rains, it pours. It never feels like just one challenge pops up in our path, but a multitude, and as that chaos builds up, we all eventually get to our breaking point. In those times, however, when all hope or reason seems lost, is most often when God reveals His presence and His perfect pur...

On March 30, Patrick teaches from Genesis 39-41, with a message called, Who Are You, O Man? Questions aren’t a bad thing to ask, nor are they forbidden by God. On the contrary, because He loves us and wants a relationship with us God invites and encourages our questions. But we’re to ask them in humility, reverence, and faith. Only through that lens will we then be able to maintain trust and hope...

On March 23, Patrick talks about the King Who is Coming - Genesis 37:2-38:30 Henry David Thoreau argued, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” We all struggle to find meaning in our day-to-day lives and often question if there is any bigger purpose. The people we read of in the Bible probably felt no differently, despite what we can now see in hindsight. The story of Jacob’s sons remi...

ON MARCH 16: Domesticated Jesus with Scott Chafee (the opening clip was a scene from the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe). Is Jesus really the Lion  of Judah? Or do we prefer a tame Lion, perhaps de-clawed without fangs. It seems that in the western church we have domesticated this young Jewish rabbi who turned the world upside down with his teaching. Many in the church seem to invite Jesus into...

On March 9, Patrick is teaching from Genesis 34:1-37:1 While human history has been dominated by those who would seek to make a great name for themselves, the modern era has produced an obsession with fame and celebrity like none before. Nearly everyone wants to be known and famous. God, however, has something bigger and better in mind: Not to bring individual fame and glory, but adoption into a f...

On March 2, Patrick's message comes from Genesis 29:1-33:20 The Bible tells us that it is God’s kindness that is meant to lead us to repentance and trust, but sometimes what God does in our lives, or allows, doesn’t feel like kindness. Ultimately, though, Jacob’s frustrations help us to have faith in all circumstances showing us how much God cares for our well-being and how He will ensure He gets...

On February 23, Patrick's message is Faithful Amidst Dysfunction, Part 2. Often that which stands most in the way of God’s plans is us! Whether it be because of our own selfish ambitions, our laxity, or taking matters into our own hands, rather than cooperating in submission and faith we end up trying to build our own kingdoms. But God’s grace and power is greater than our sin. If there is one thi...

On February 16, Patrick continues his series in Genesis: Obstacles and setbacks not only frustrate us in our  progress toward a goal, but they can make us doubt the cause  altogether. Maybe we misread the situation or shouldn’t have started  down this path. We may even start to ask, “Has God left us, or have we  left Him?”. The start of Jacob’s journey away from home shows us,  however, that when...

On February 9, Patrick teaches from Genesis 21-24. The human race is diverse. In appearance, in cuisine, in music, in all sorts of things we are different, not just across the planet but even in our immediate communities. Those differences, unfortunately, have often led to division and hurt, but God’s purpose is to bring all people together. The Gospel, we see, isn’t detached from questions of eth...

On February 2, Patrick continues his series in Genesis, this week being in Genesis 15-20. HERE'S THE DEAL: The power of a promise relies on three things: (1) Is the promise-maker trustworthy, and (2) Is the promise-maker able to come through, and (3) Is the promise itself good. In the book of Genesis, as the world begins to take shape and people do as they please across the globe, God makes a prom...

ON JANUARY 26, The Promise, Part 1 - Genesis 10-14 with Pastor Patrick Edwards, Ph. D. HERE'S THE DEAL: Our day to day lives can feel inconsequential. At best, we think we might be making a little difference, but how far can one person’s effect really extend? God’s great big plan, however, is accomplished through individuals, and if we believe in His spoken promises then we can live daily knowing...

ON JANUARY 19: Won't Stop Now, (Genesis 4:25-9:29) with Patrick Edwards, Ph. D. HERE'S THE DEAL: How many times would you try to help someone, who continually turned you down and insulted you, before you just gave up on them? Genesis 5-9 feels like God giving humans the chance for a massive do-over and yet, when all is said and done, nothing changes. Just how true to His promises will He remain?

ON JANUARY 12 - Humanity's City, (Genesis 3:1-4:24) with Patrick Edwards, Ph. D.  HERE'S THE DEAL: Where did things go  wrong? How did we get here if the world God made was good and did what  He created it to do? Something clearly went wrong. Against God’s good  design for the world human beings tried to devise their own plans and  with that broke God’s good world. But even their rebellion couldn’...

ON JANUARY 5: We are beginning of a new sermon series on Genesis, with a message called, God's City, (Genesis 1:1-2:25) with Patrick Edwards, Ph. D.  HERE'S THE DEAL: The Bible opens by definitively showing us the Plan for the whole world and who the Plan-Maker is. The opening chapters aren’t interested in telling us how the world was made, but rather Who made it and why He did. Only when we know...

ON DECEMBER 29th @10:00 AM: Don't Forget, But Be Reconciled (John 15:8-12, 1 Corinthians 11:17-19, Matthew 5:22-24) with Patrick Edwards, Ph. D. HERE'S THE DEAL: We were made into a family. No matter how different we may be or what stage of life we may be in, we’re called into this together! This Sunday we celebrate and worship all together that reality and explore how Jesus desires to continue Hi...
