SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, September 7, 2025

Dear Friends in Jesus –

Here’s a note at the end of the week this first week in September with an invitation, no, rather a request – please, come to Homecoming Sunday – come to church. Not an unreasonable request, you may think to yourself. But with the weather holding, last chances at the beach, the mountains, or on the boat…

I know that many, if not most of you, are firmly tethered to this community. You respond when called upon. You love Jesus. But… Jesus calls us to be in community. We are stronger, more effective together, and we have more fun – we are better together and face time is essential.

So this Sunday, come and share a potluck lunch, welcome new members, imagine how you may be involved this coming year, celebrate communion and our call to share the joy and the radical reality of Jesus.  

 With great joy in being your pastor,

SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, August 31, 2025

Dear Friends in Jesus –

Do people need to know that the principles laid down in the Bible do not lessen one’s potential for success in the business world and beyond? You bet! 

In these times, what matters is less transactionalism and more evangelism. We offer the love of Jesus! We’re to be heralds offering the most precious commodity of the cosmos! 

See you Sunday –

SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, August 24, 2025

Dear Friends in Jesus –

“Law helps order our world, but grace is what holds the world together.”

Our scripture this Sunday offers law and grace in context. We see two men faithful to their calling. The leader of the synagogue and the Christ.

Most of us have laws that we think are particularly important and we get nervous if we see people not respecting them. The synagogue leader is doing what he is charged to do.  

And Jesus is doing what the embodiment of compassion and grace has come to do – seek out the needy and the unheralded and offer them healing and hope - The Law of Loving

Jesus the disruptor, Jesus the agitator, Jesus the Messiah brings wholeness.

What we get to do!

I Have Come to Bring Fire

Sunday morning worship at 10:30 a.m.

Find upcoming events and announcements here.

SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, August 17, 2025

Dear Friends in Jesus –

There is fire that is good:

  • The burning bush that appeared to Moses in the wilderness, from which the Lord called him to free His people from Egypt.

  • The pillar of fire that led God’s people safely through the wilderness at night.

  • And at Pentecost, divided tongues as of fire appeared among the apostles, filling them with the promised Holy Spirit, and giving birth to the church.

But then –

  • John the Baptist also warns people that every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

  • Jesus himself says that on the day of judgment some will be told to depart from him into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

So, what kind of fire did Jesus bring to the earth? A refining fire that we may become worthy partners in recovering, redeeming, restoring that which was created good.

What we get to do!
