This week, Pastor Will reflects on Matthew 2:13–23 and the part of the Christmas story we often skip. While we’re still singing carols, Matthew shows us a world that is anything but calm and bright — and invites us to consider what it means that God chose to enter this kind of world. “JOY TO THE WORLD / OUR GOD SAVES -- CCLI Song # 7101432 | © 2017…

The third Sunday of Advent opens in a prison, with John the Baptist asking a question many of us still ask: Are you really the one, or should we wait for another? This sermon sits in the space between promise and fulfillment, where Advent reminds us that faith isn’t pretending everything is fine, but trusting that God has already entered what is br…

This week, Pastor Will reflects on Matthew 3:1–12 and John the Baptist’s call to prepare the way during Advent. In a season that urges us to rush toward Christmas, John’s voice from the wilderness invites us to slow down, make space, and re-orient our lives toward the God who is already near. Advent, he reminds us, isn’t about nostalgia or rushing …

This week, Pastor Will reflects on Matthew 24:36–44 and the real meaning of Advent. Instead of rushing into Christmas, we’re invited to slow down, stay awake, and pay attention to the ways God still breaks into our world. Advent isn’t just waiting for December 25—it’s learning to live ready for whatever God might reveal next.…

This week, Pastor Will reflects on Philippians 4:6–7 and Paul’s bold command: “Do not worry about anything.” From late-night anxieties to everyday pressures, worry pulls us apart — but Paul offers another way. Through prayer, honest requests, and a posture of thanksgiving, we discover the peace of God that gathers us back together. As we enter Than…

This week, Pastor Will turns to Deuteronomy 30:11–20 and invites us on a kind of “time travel” through Scripture—standing with Moses on the edge of the Promised Land, with the exiles in Babylon, and right here in our own mid-November moment. In a world of endless daily decisions and modern idols, we hear God’s simple, challenging call to us as a co…

This week, Pastor Will shares from Jeremiah 29:1–14, reminding us that even in seasons that feel like exile, God is still at work. Like the exiles in Babylon, we’re called to build, plant, and live faithfully where we are—trusting that God’s plans for us are good and full of hope. Scripture references: Psalm 37:1-7, Matthew 6:25-34, and Matthew 6:2…

This week, Pastor Will led our annual All Saints Sunday service, sharing from Hebrews 12:1–2. He reflected on the “great cloud of witnesses” — the saints of Scripture and our own church’s history — who cheer us on as we run the race God has set before us. Scripture references: Psalm 24; Isaiah 25:6-9; and Hebrews 12:1–2 “I WILL RUN” -- CCLI Song # …

This week, Pastor Will shared Ezekiel's vision of the Valley of Dry Bones from Ezekiel 37.

Scripture references: Psalm 85; John 20:19–23; and Ezekiel 37:1-14 “DAYS OF ELIJAH” -- CCLI Song # 1537904 | Robin Mark | © 1996 Song …

This week, Pastor Will finished up our summer journey through some of the most challenging passages in Luke's Gospel. In Luke 17:11-19, we hear the story of the healing of ten lepers, and receive a challenge from Jesus that reminds us to make giving thanks to God a central part of our lives. “I THANK GOD” -- CCLI Song # 7169680 | Aaron Moses | Chuc…

This week, Pastor Will looks at Genesis 18:1-8 and Hebrews 13:1-2 and talks about how offering the gift of hospitality can lead to great blessings from God. Note: This week's worship service was held outdoors in our Pumpkin Patch. Due to difficulties in capturing quality audio outdoors, this is a re-recording of the sermon.…

This week, Pastor Will dives into the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus. This passage calls us to question whether or not we see as Jesus would have us see. How do we understand our connection to others? Can we see ourselves as blessed when others around us suffer? “GIVE THANKS” -- CCLI Song # 20285 | Henry Smith | ©1978 Integrity's Hosanna! Musi…

This week, we hear one of the most challenging parables in Luke's Gospel, The Parable of the Dishonest Manager. Is this story about finances, or something deeper?

This week, Pastor Will reflects on the cost of discipleship from Luke 14:25-33. Jesus challenges us to count the costs of following him. Is the life of a disciple for everyone? Listen to hear how God speaks to us through the scriptures. Scripture references: Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18 and Luke 14:25-33 “IF WE ARE THE BODY” -- CCLI Song # 4196589 | MarkHa…

This week, Pastor Will shares from Luke 14:1 and 14:7-14. What seems like some advice on not embarrassing yourself at dinner parties turns out to be far more.

This week, Pastor Will shares from Luke 13:10-17. On the surface, this is a passage about healing on the sabbath, but it is about so much more.

This week's scripture reading is Luke 12:32-40. Pastor Will tackles another challenging passage in which Jesus tells us to stay alert. But what are we waiting for? And what does staying alert look like, especially in our busy lives and in a world full of distractions? Scripture references: Isaiah 1:1, 10-20 and Psalm 50:1-8, 22-23 “GOD OF THIS CITY…

This week, Pastor Will preaches from Luke 12:13-21, in which Jesus shares a challenging parable about a rich man who decides to build new barns for his abundant crops.

This week, Pastor Will leads us through Luke 11:1-13. In this text, Jesus offers his disciples and us a model for prayer with The Lord's Prayer. Jesus also shares a parable about persistence and reminds us, "Don't stop praying!
