This Sunday we will celebrate Palm Sunday and also wrap up our sermon series on the life of Joseph. What does Joseph have to do with Palm Sunday? Actually, quite a lot. The final episode in the life of Joseph is an amazing foreshadowing of what Jesus himself eventually did at the end of his […]
Today we begin a new sermon series on the up-and-down, zigzag life of Joseph as told in the book of Genesis. It’s a story bristling with insights for our own journey. The story begins with something every single one of us will experience many times in our own life. What do you do when you […]
Life is constantly challenging us to the core of our being. We experience weakness, despair, darkness, and trouble all around. Sometimes the journey can feel pretty grim. What then?

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.
The Bible speaks loftily about a “peace that surpasses understanding.” Sounds great! We all want it! But how do we get it? That will be our focus on Sunday as we continue our sermon series entitled, “Seven Biblical Promises That Anchor Our Sanity and Support Our Serenity.”

Join us for Easter, as […]
Life is chalked full of disasters – moral failure, job loss, divorce, injustice, bankruptcy, serious illness, death of a dream, death of a loved one. Nothing can be harder on us – or our faith – than when disaster strikes. So this Sunday we will consider what happens with faith meets disaster. How can/should faith […]
Life can be hard. Often it feels like a million different challenges (large and small) are pressing hard against us, and we wonder how we’ll ever find the wherewithal to make it through.
