Have you ever been in a situation where you've found yourself asking, "Where is God?" This week we'll grapple with a passage that tackles that question and offers some powerful insights. This is the third story in our study of the life of Moses.
This week Pastor Jeff begins a new sermon series called "Lessons from the Life of Moses." Moses is one of the most impactful figures in both human history and spiritual history. We're going to learn so much from him -- practical lessons that we can apply to our daily lives.
The events of this past week -- in our world, nation, and personal lives -- have reminded us of the destructive power of hate. As followers of Jesus, how should we respond? What Jesus asks us to do is really, really, really hard. He challenges us to overcome hate with love. Ok, but how are […]
This Sunday we continue our sermon series on "Women Who Shaped Our Faith -- Six Powerful Gospel Stories."

This Sunday we resume our sermon series called “Seven Biblical Promises That Anchor Our Sanity and Support Our Serenity” by focusing on a promise that will put us in the right frame of mind as we launch into a brand new year.
Life is crazy, constantly knocking us around, full of melt down moments. Have you ever known somebody who seemed to float above it all? No matter what happened, their serenity was unperturbed. How did they do it? Because their life is anchored in certain great spiritual truths. What are those truths? And how can we internalize […]
Join us for Pride Weekend Worship! During the sermon time on Sunday, some of our trans congregants will share their personal experiences and other important information.

The fourth character in our study of “The Baddest People in the Bible” is Judas Iscariot. Have you ever wondered what drove Judas to betray Jesus?

As we celebrate Black History Month, we are excited to welcome LaShawnda Crowe Storm to share her thoughts about how to prepare ourselves and center ourselves to do justice in the world in the same way Jesus did. LaShawnda leads the Lynch Quilts Project, a community-based effort to examine the history of racial violence through the […]
