Starting Sunday, March 10th, we’ll be embarking on a sermon series in John’s Gospel as we consider the meaning and message of Jesus’ Upper Room Discourse in John 13-17. These texts will pave the way for us to contemplate the lessons of discipleship we are to learn in the Lenten Season, which will prepare us […]
The Christmas season is upon us. As we hear the holiday music and are beckoned to buy gifts and cash in on sales, we’re reminded that we live in a culture that hates to wait. Christmas morning certainly has its unique joy, but often it is followed by quick burnout and letdown. The season of […]

The Christmas season is often marked by stress and busyness leading to exhaustion. When we consider what Christmas is all about, this should not be so. Christmas is certainly a special day, but the season of Advent helps orient our hearts and prepares us to take in the beauty of that day, as we are […]
Why are we here? What does it mean to be human? Why are we and the world we live in broken? Does God plan to fix it? These are foundational questions to life. Genesis, the first book of the Bible, gives answers. As we enter the fall season, we will be looking at the prologue […]
