Faithful Amidst Dysfunction, Part 1 - Genesis 25-26

On February 16, Patrick continues his series in Genesis: Obstacles and setbacks not only frustrate us in our  progress toward a goal, but they can make us doubt the cause  altogether. Maybe we misread the situation or shouldn’t have started  down this path. We may even start to ask, “Has God left us, or have we  left Him?”. The start of Jacob’s journey away from home shows us,  however, that when our hearts and minds are focused on His words and  promises we can have certainty that despite all appearances He is with  us and working all things out according to His perfect plan.

All the Peoples - Genesis 21-24

On February 9, Patrick teaches from Genesis 21-24. The human race is diverse. In appearance, in cuisine, in music, in all sorts of things we are different, not just across the planet but even in our immediate communities. Those differences, unfortunately, have often led to division and hurt, but God’s purpose is to bring all people together. The Gospel, we see, isn’t detached from questions of ethnicity or gender or culture but encompasses them all.

The Promise, Part 2 - Genesis 15-20

On February 2, Patrick continues his series in Genesis, this week being in Genesis 15-20.

HERE'S THE DEAL: The power of a promise relies on three things: (1) Is the promise-maker trustworthy, and (2) Is the promise-maker able to come through, and (3) Is the promise itself good. In the book of Genesis, as the world begins to take shape and people do as they please across the globe, God makes a promise about how all things will turn out. We just have to decide if the promise meets these three criteria.

The Promise, Part 1 - Genesis 10-14

ON JANUARY 26, The Promise, Part 1 - Genesis 10-14 with Pastor Patrick Edwards, Ph.D.

HERE'S THE DEAL: Our day to day lives can feel inconsequential. At best, we think we might be making a little difference, but how far can one person’s effect really extend? God’s great big plan, however, is accomplished through individuals, and if we believe in His spoken promises then we can live daily knowing He’s always doing something big in us.

Won't Stop Now - Genesis 4:25-9:29

ON JANUARY 19: Won't Stop Now, (Genesis 4:25-9:29) with Patrick Edwards, Ph.D.

HERE'S THE DEAL: How many times would you try to help someone, who continually turned you down and insulted you, before you just gave up on them? Genesis 5-9 feels like God giving humans the chance for a massive do-over and yet, when all is said and done, nothing changes. Just how true to His promises will He remain?

Humanity's City - Genesis 3:1-4:24

ON JANUARY 12 - Humanity's City, (Genesis 3:1-4:24) with Patrick Edwards, Ph.D. 

HERE'S THE DEAL: Where did things go  wrong? How did we get here if the world God made was good and did what  He created it to do? Something clearly went wrong. Against God’s good  design for the world human beings tried to devise their own plans and  with that broke God’s good world. But even their rebellion couldn’t stop  God as His grace is greater than all our sin.

God's City - Genesis 1:1-2:25

ON JANUARY 5: We are beginning of a new sermon series on Genesis, with a message called, God's City, (Genesis 1:1-2:25) with Patrick Edwards, Ph.D. 

HERE'S THE DEAL: The Bible opens by definitively showing us the Plan for the whole world and who the Plan-Maker is. The opening chapters aren’t interested in telling us how the world was made, but rather Who made it and why He did. Only when we know Him can we then know ourselves and what He wants to do in this world through us.

Don't Forget, But Be Reconciled - John 14-16

ON DECEMBER 29th @10:00 AM: Don't Forget, But Be Reconciled (John 15:8-12, 1 Corinthians 11:17-19, Matthew 5:22-24) with Patrick Edwards, Ph.D.

HERE'S THE DEAL: We were made into a family. No matter how different we may be or what stage of life we may be in, we’re called into this together! This Sunday we celebrate and worship all together that reality and explore how Jesus desires to continue His mission in us through the work of the Holy Spirit. Patrick will also have a special Kid's Time message on December 29, Jesus Has Come, Now What? We will also have a baptism during the service, Gabby Walker. Stick around for the light brunch after the service.

These Kingdoms, No Longer at Ease - Matthew 2:1-12

ON TUESDAY DECEMBER 24: (3:00 & 4:30 pm) These Kingdoms, No Longer At Ease (Matthew 2:1-12) with Pastor Patrick Edwards, Ph.D.

Most of us would say we “know” the nativity story. We can picture the scene and probably even describe what happened 2000 years ago. But the Journey of the Magi, or Wise Men, appears as a challenge to us. It’s a passage not so much about the journey to the birth of Jesus, but about our journey home afterwards. This Christmas Eve we pause to look at the kingdoms of our lives anew in light of the birth of the King.

Finding Peace in Jesus' Return - Luke 1:39-56

ON DECEMBER 22: Finding Peace in Jesus' Return (Luke 1:39-56) with Pastor Patrick Edwards, Ph.D.

HERE'S THE DEAL: From wars, famines, natural disasters, economic turmoil, political and social division, the world seems pretty messed up. Very little feels safe and secure and, worst, we feel so helpless and powerless to do anything about it. But God’s promises reveal to us His plans to topple the proud and mighty and exalt the hurting and the lowly. Jesus is coming back to heal this broken world and make all things new, and that is our PEACE.
