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.

Finding Joy in Jesus' Return - Luke 3:7-18

Finding Joy in Jesus' Return - Luke 3:7-18 with Patrick Edwards, Ph.D.

HERE'S THE DEAL: It’s the most wonderful time of the year where we’re all supposed to feel joyful, merry, and bright. What is JOY, though, and from where does it come? And what does thinking about the salvation and judgment of God have to do with any of it? Or with Christmas? It turns out that when we fix our eyes on the right things and prioritize the things of God in our lives, we might just get a little joyful as a result.

Finding Faith in Jesus' Return - Luke 3:1-6

ON DECEMBER 8: Finding Faith in Jesus' Return (Luke 3:1-6) with Student Pastor Beth Anderson

HERE'S THE DEAL: John the Baptist's call to prepare the way for the Lord resonates deeply during Advent, a season that emphasizes faith and anticipation. As he proclaims a message of repentance, we're reminded of the urgency to realign our hearts and lives. This passage invites us to reflect: What valleys in our lives need filling? What mountains must be made low? What obstacles stand in the way of our relationship with God? God calls us to make room for His transformative presence as we anticipate Jesus coming again,

Finding Hope in Jesus' Return - Luke 21:25-26

ON DECEMBER 1: Finding Hope in Jesus' Return (Luke 21:25-26), Pastor Patrick Edwards, PhD.

HERE'S THE DEAL: Whether it be because of global events around the world or crises and struggles in our own life, it can be hard to feel optimistic. But the advent season is a time to remember Jesus doesn’t call us to put on a good face or try to find the brightside in life. Rather, we are to remember His promises and His works, having confident HOPE that He is coming back to finish what He started.

Do Not Be Afraid - Mark 16:1-8

ON NOVEMBER 24: Do Not Be Afraid (Mark 16:1-8) with Pastor Patrick Edwards, PhD.

HERE'S THE DEAL: Why was the tomb empty? All who hear the story of Jesus must offer an answer, and yet Jesus Himself has already told us. Only by revisiting His Words can we leave our old lives behind and faithfully follow him.

Enthroned - Mark 15:1-47

ON NOVEMBER 17: Enthroned (Mark 15:1-47) with Pastor Patrick Edwards, PhD.

HERE'S THE DEAL: In the climax of his story, Mark shows us the most shocking thing yet about Jesus: How with the empire's very own instrument of death and shame, Jesus secures the victory of God over sin and evil demonstrating He is the true King.
