“Now the story of Christ is simply a true myth: a myth working on us in the same way as the others, but with the tremendous difference that it really happened.” — C. S. Lewis ‘What are we to make of Jesus Christ?’ This is a question, which has, in a sense, a frantically comic […]
Christians, of all people, have every reason to give thanks. For it is our Father in heaven that gives good gifts to His children (Matt. 7:11). But what are those good gifts? In the hustle and bustle of our days, we can be forgetful and even ungrateful for the things our heavenly Father gives and […]
This Advent we’ll be taking a deep look at Matthew’s genealogy of Christ (Matt.1:1-17).

We’re grateful to deepen our bonds as a church family by continuing our groups through the fall season. If you’ve not yet made it out to one of our groups, we’d love to have you join […]
In their book The Story of Creeds and Confessions: Tracing the Development of the Christian Faith, Donald Fairbairn and Ryan Reeves ask the question, “Do we climb up to God for salvation or does God come down to save us?” This was the question that the early church kept coming back to throughout the centuries […]
Joy is in high demand and low in inventory these days. In its place we find many sad realities: distraction, depression, and despair to name a few. The apostle Paul was someone well acquainted with hardship and, surprisingly, he was well acquainted with joy! In his letter to the church at the Philippi we learn […]

Next Wednesday we will have the opportunity to come together in smaller groups and treasure God’s word and His people. Over the past few weeks we’ve […]
