The Naked Truth

What was broken by sin is being restored in Jesus Christ. Amen. That’s good news, isn’t it? Our relationship with God, our relationship with each other, and our relationship with this world have been, are being, and will be restored in Jesus Christ. That’s good news.

Created for Sabbath

You were created for the good things of God. And Sabbath is one of those very good things. Not something you earn. Not something you have to do perfectly. Just something God offers you because He loves you.

Songs & Music

You Were There

The spirit of God continues to hover over the darkness and chaos in our lives, ready to breath new light and life.

Created for Relationship

God separates first. Then God fills. And in between? God has always set aside sacred time — worship, prayer, Sabbath, community — not as obligations to check off, but as invitations to come close.

Mercy Wins

Jesus didn't just show mercy — he made it a defining mark of his people. He was describing people shaped from the inside out by the mercy they had already received.

The Stone Was Rolled Away

Teach me to see the world through resurrection eyes—to recognize possibilities where others see only endings, to practice forgiveness where others harbor resentment, and to embody hope where others surrender to despair. Make me a Resurrection person, not just today but every day. Amen.

Easter

Between the Shadows and the Dawn

How do we lean into the wisdom of silence in a world that often wants action? How do we stop on Silent Saturday when so many people want to skip straight from Good Friday to Easter Sunday?

Easter

It is Finished

Jesus' sacrifice reminds us that the cross must precede the crown in authentic Christian living. We don't seek suffering for its own sake, nor do we avoid it when love and justice require sacrifice.

Easter

This is Love

Perhaps nothing in Jesus' ministry defines his leadership vision more clearly than this moment with the basin and towel. In a world obsessed with climbing ladders, Jesus deliberately climbs down. In a culture fixated on who sits at the head of the table, Jesus kneels at the feet of others.

Easter

Thirty Piece of Silver

Perhaps the most uncomfortable aspect of Spy Wednesday is how it invites us to see ourselves in Judas. That's not a comfortable position to be in, is it?

Easter

Kingdom Tells the Truth

Holy Tuesday day reminds us that life's most important spiritual work often happens not in dramatic moments but in daily choices to remain vigilant, faithful, and compassionate.

God Speaks Into the Mess

God didn't wait for the world to clean itself up before he showed up. Jesus was placed in a feeding trough — a food trough — at birth. Not exactly where you'd expect to find a king, let alone the God who made everything. But that's the kind of God we serve.

The Fork in the Road

This is the fork in the road between "well done good and faithful" and "go away, I don't know you."

How to Be an Inviting Church

While you can't change the whole world on your own, you can make a meaningful impact in one, two, or three lives. If every follower of Jesus made this kind of impact, the world would begin moving toward God's kingdom.

What Does the Bible Say About Giving?

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Let your giving reflect a heart that's fully surrendered to God's generous love.

Prayer

Life is Precious

For those who call on God's name, life is precious and sacred. And the life most precious and sacred is the one which, today, hangs in the balance between now and eternity.

Sermons

Finding Your Gift

Remember, God has placed you exactly where you are for a reason. No one else can do what you're called to do in exactly the way you're designed to do it. Your faithful service, however imperfect, matters more than you know.

The Power of Prayer and Fasting: Deepening Your Relationship with God
