Current Sermon Series
Get your groove on, as together we explore some of the Greatest’s Hits in Matthew’s Gospel. We’ll flow with the love of the Greatest Commandment, move with the mission of the Great Commission, and groove in the grace of Jesus' yoke. It's all part of the harmony of a life lived in rhythm with divine purpose.
Our relationship with God is closely related to our relationship with other people. Jesus said the Greatest Command has two parts: Love God and love your neighbors. During the 40-day season of Lent, we will consider the forgiveness we need to accept and to give.
Jesus and the Games People Play
In life and relationships, people engage in various kinds of games. While he didn't use words like monopoly or battleship, Jesus talked about some of these games in the Sermon on the Mount. This series will help you understand the good life God wants for us.
Advent 2023
In a world ruled by Herod and the Romans, poverty and destitution were widespread. But it was in this bleak world that Christ was born, bringing good news of great joy. This season, we can find joy in Luke’s gospel, even in times of fear or grief, as our joy is rooted in the truth that we belong to God.
Remember, you are part of God’s story. There is joy to be found, even if you are weary.

Fall 2023 ThanksLiving
Paul wrote to the church in Colossae out of concern. He had received news that teachers were saying Jesus was not enough. It was critical the church understand that Jesus is our best revelation of God. What we think about Jesus impacts every aspect of life.
