Today is Friendship Ministry Sunday. We will celebrate this ministry with our Friends and their mentors. To wrap our series on Ephesians, we will reflect on Ephesians 6:10-20, The Armor of God. When we put on the armor of God, we are able to be brave, have courage, and stand firm in our faith against the devil’s schemes. Paul calls us to be strong, to stand firm, and to pray in the Spirit. All these acts fill us with the courage to trust in God and be his people. It’s important to remember that Paul is writing this from a prison cell and wants people to experience the same courage that he’s received from Jesus.

May 4, 2025 Faith Begins at Home: The Home Makeover | Joshua 24 33:26

13 днів тому33:26

33:26

Today we will reflect on Joshua 24, The Home Makeover . Joshua has led Israel into the Promised Land and the people are now at a time of peace and prosperity. These are the times of danger for the people, times when they are more tempted to drift away from God and embrace idols. Joshua challenges the people to fear the Lord and throw their idols away, but even if they don’t Joshua declares, “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” This is the call to all of us, to declare, “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord ".…

April 27, 2025 Called to Leadership | Exodus 3 29:30

29:30

Today we will reflect on Exodus 3, Called to Leadership . God calls to Moses to lead his people out of slavery in Egypt into freedom and the Promised Land. Moses is afraid and believes he doesn’t have the skills or gifts needed to lead. Moses comes up with many excuses for not responding, but God counters his excuses by promising Moses “I will be with you.” The church still needs leaders today to lead the people into freedom from their sin, and into a deeper relationship of trust and faith in God. God promises to guide those he calls through his presence through the Holy Spirit.…

Today is Good Friday. We will wrap up our Lenten series Words from the Cross by reflecting on Luke 23:44-49; John 13:1-2; John 19:28-35, Father, into Your Hands I Commit My Spirit . Satan believes he has won as the King of kings hangs on a cross dying. As Jesus draws close to death, in the darkest moments, he reveals his deep trust in his Father, committing himself into his Father’s hands, a place of safety and belonging.…

Today we are celebrating Easter and the resurrection of Jesus! We will reflect on Matthew 28:1-7 and Revelation 1:9-18 , The Best Last Word . From the darkness of Good Friday, we come together to celebrate the resurrection of the Light of the World coming in all his glory to banish sin and death. Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the Living One who defeated sin and destroyed the curse of death, the one who holds the keys of death, and Hades, the one who has been given all authority in heaven and earth to reign forever!…

April 13, 2025 Words From The Cross: My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me? | Matthew 27:45-49; John 19:16b-30 27:07

5 weeks тому27:07

27:07

Today we will reflect on Matthew 27:45-49 and John 19:28-30, My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me? This is the darkest time for Jesus as he takes the sins of the world on himself, experiencing God’s forsakenness on our behalf. The light of the world is hidden in darkness as the sun is darkened for 3 hours, reminding the people of the judgment of God and the Day of the Lord. Jesus cries out with words from Psalm 22; in this psalm which points so strongly to the cross, we hear a deep agonizing cry of lament that leads to a declaration of the Lord’s victory. But the victory comes with unimaginable pain.…

April 6, 2025 Words From the Cross: Here Is Your Son... Here Is Your Mother | Luke 8:19-21; John 19:25-30 23:20

6 weeks тому23:20

23:20

Today we will reflect on John 19:25-30, Here is Your Son, Here is Your Mother . Even while on the cross, Jesus is thinking of others. We’ve seen him ask for forgiveness for us, we’ve seen his grace to the criminal, and now we see his concern for his mother. As the oldest son, Jesus is responsible for the well-being of his mother. He places Mary in the care of the beloved disciple, John. Jesus has a larger view of family, seeing it as a covenant community that hears God’s word and puts it into practice. Family is about being part of a community of people committed to following Jesus and becoming more Christ-like.…

March 30, 2024 Words From the Cross: Today You Will be With Me in Paradise | Luke 23:39-43; Romans 8:1-4, 33-39 23:21

7 weeks тому23:21

23:21

Today we will reflect on Luke 23:39-43; Romans 8:1-4; 33-39 , Today You Will be With Me in Paradise . The thief on the cross asks Jesus to remember him. There is no fear quite like the fear of being forgotten. The beauty of Jesus is that he doesn’t forget us and because he doesn’t forget us, we have salvation, a place with Jesus, even after death. The Bible gives us different images of what Paradise is like, the one thing that connects them all is that this is where we find Jesus and that even after death we will be with Jesus. As Paul writes, “nothing can separate us from the love of Christ,” not even death !…

19:11

Today we are once again celebrating the sacrament of baptism. We will be reflecting on Psalm 139:13-14, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made. Psalm 139 reminds us of how precious each one of us is, and how God actively shapes and forms each one of us in the womb. The Psalmist confesses that all God’s works are wonderful, God is the original creator who has created us in his own image! In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul picks up on this theme, when he writes that we are masterpieces of God. Next Sunday we will be blessed to place God’s sign and seal on another child of God, a masterpiece of God!…

March 23, 2025 Words From The Cross: Father, Forgive Them | Luke 23:24-25, 32-34 22:23

7 weeks тому22:23

22:23

Today we are beginning our Lenten series: Words from the Cross. We will reflect on Luke 23:24-25, 32-34 , Father, Forgive Them . In many situations, forgiveness is one of the most difficult things to offer to someone. Jesus emphasizes the importance of forgiveness in his prayer when he teaches us to ask for forgiveness for our sins. He then goes on and teaches that when we forgive, then the Father will forgive us, but if we do not forgive, then the Father will not forgive us. This is a frightening thought in so many ways! On the cross, Jesus who never sinned and yet was tortured, falsely accused, and then sentenced to death an innocent man asks the Father, “Forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Forgiveness takes a deep trust in God and a humility that takes hard work to cultivate in our hearts, souls, and minds!…

19:53

Today we are celebrating the baptism of Pax, the newest member of our church family . We will reflect on 1 Samuel 1:27-28 and 1 Samuel 2:1-10, God’s Faithfulness . The birth of Samuel to Hannah and Elkanah came about after a long season of prayer to God. In Samuel’s birth, we see God’s faithfulness and presence, and how God can transform our grief into great joy. In Hannah’s prayer, she rejoices in God and his faithfulness, looking back to God’s long presence with his people and how he humbles the proud and exalts the humble. In Hannah’s humility, she offers Samuel to the Lord, recognizing that our children are a gift given to us, but they are God’s children first. We have a responsibility as a covenantal community to walk alongside the parents to help them raise Pax to know and love the Lord.…

24:33

Today we will wrap up our series on what we hunger for, by reflecting on John 6:35-51, A Hunger for the Gospel . Jesus gives us a picture of the gospel message in this short passage. Jesus gives life as the bread of life, he comes from heaven to claim his people and they will have eternal life. Jesus is both fully human and fully God and so he’s the only one able to give us life and forgive us all our sins. Death and sin are part of the world, but Jesus is returning to restore and reconcile all creation to himself.…

Today we will be celebrating Cadet Sunday. This year the theme of the Calvinist Cadet Corps is Lead the Way based on 1 Timothy 4:12. We will be reading 1 Timothy 4:1-16 to give ourselves the reason Paul is writing to Timothy and encouraging him to be an example to the church and not be discouraged if some look down on him because of his young age. How we live is important because people are always watching us; building godly and biblical habits in our lives is important, as how we live shows what and who we believe in. As followers of Jesus, Jesus is the one who teaches and shows us how to live as his people.…

February 9, 2025 What Do We Hunger For: A Hunger for Truth | John 14:1-14 27:08

14 weeks тому27:08

27:08

Today we will reflect on John 14:1-14, A Hunger for the Truth . Jesus tells his followers that he is the way, the truth, and the life. He is the way to God and the only way, the personification of truth, the center of life. But today many people ask the question that Pilate asks before condemning Jesus, “What is truth?” Many today believe we each create our own truth but is this even possible to live this way together as a community and society? Because our society has made the idea of truth a slippery concept, we will reflect on how Jesus and Scripture interpret truth.…
