If there’s only one sermon you ever hear, make sure it’s this one. Last Sunday we explored the first half of Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well in Samaria. We saw how Jesus shattered all kinds of social barriers to engage the Samaritan woman in the single longest dialogue anyone ever had with […]
They say the quality of a person’s life is not measured by their moments of high drama, but by how they respond to the ebb and flow of ordinary everyday life. As we continue our “Encounters With Christ” sermon series, this week we’ll study Jesus’ encounter with the Woman at the Well and, in the […]
It’s one of the most oft-repeated and intriguing phrases found in the teachings of Jesus: You must be “born again.” When Jesus used those words, what did he really mean? This week we’ll dig deep – past the religious clichés, past bumper-sticker theology – to get to the bottom of the meaning of being “born […]
On Sunday we’ll celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the founding of our church by asking: Why did God raise up a church like ours and what great things are next for us?

As we continue our faith and science sermon series, this Sunday we’ll take a look at the debate between those who believe God created human life on a single day versus those who believe God created through the process of evolution. We’ll explore what’s at stake in this debate, but then move beyond it to […]
Suppose tomorrow we discovered a race of aliens more capable than us living on a distant planet. How would that affect your faith? Even if you’ve been in church your entire life, you’ve probably never heard a sermon about that. Yet it’s a very real existential question. Scientists say life on other planets is very […]
Faith and science are often pitted against each other in our culture. If you love science, many assume, you can’t be a person of faith. If you’re a person of faith, others assume, you should be wary of science. This Sunday Pastor Jeff begins a new sermon series on faith and science inspired by Dr. […]
Before the fireworks start, and whatever else you have planned for Sunday July 4, don’t miss morning worship! Sunday’s sermon will explore what it really means to love our country. You might be surprised what the Bible has to say.
Life is full of unexpected, unwelcome, and sometimes devastating interruptions. How many times has life thrown you a curve ball? How we respond in those times is critical. So that’s what we’re going to talk about on Sunday, as we conclude our sermon series on The Meaning of the Cross by exploring a fourth great lesson of […]
We always hear church people say, “On the cross Jesus paid for our sins; if he hadn’t died we couldn’t be forgiven.” But why? What does that really mean? Nobody ever takes the time to break it down and explain it. On Sunday we will, as we continue to explore The Meaning of the Cross. We’ll […]
Lots of Christians are convinced LGBTQ people have no place in the church and will have no place in heaven, because that’s what they’ve always been taught.
