What’s in a Word? Our passage today contains a word that is only found once in all of scripture, “anakephalaiossathai.” Join us as we discover what God has done and continues to do, as we look at how this word invites us to deepen our faith and bring new perspective to the sufferings and joy in our day-to-day lives. [Scripture - Ephesians 1:7-10]

This week in our Summer Sermon Series: “What’s In A Word”, we’re exploring the word “Paraclete” - the Spirit who comes alongside us with comfort and courage. Come ready to be inspired, renewed, and reminded that we never walk alone. Scripture: John 14:25-27

Anxiety is the emotion that seems to be most popular to name, claim and blame these days. As humankind becomes busier, and as we have content overload, anxiety as a mental health diagnosis continues to increase at alarming rates. This week, we turn to Jesus to come alongside each of us with words of comfort and commands to rest.

Do we have a right to be angry? In other words, is it a God-given emotion that can be meant for good? This week we peer in on Jesus when he is very angry. This story gives us concrete tools for ways to peacefully deal with our own anger.

Spiders, snakes, being stared at… what are you afraid of? Fear can be a gift from our biology that keeps us alive. Fear can become unhealthy when it paralyzes or prevents us from living a healthy and whole life.

Today we will look at powerful letters written by Dr. King and a letter from the Apostle Paul. Such letters inspire and transform. These letters from decades ago and centuries ago they speak of our call to be "love" in the world.

The Trinity is a complex theological concept. How can God be three in one—all distinct yet the same? The clearest example of the trinity, because the word trinity is NOT found in scripture, is when Jesus is baptized by his cousin John. In this sermon we explore the mystery of the Trinity.

Join us for Epiphany Sunday, as we celebrate the revealing of Christ to the world. Pastor Kevin shares the story of the magi from the East who come to worship the Christ-child and explain how sometimes God calls us to take the long way home.
