In these strange times, when we’ve been scattered and upended, our solution is what it is always is – God’s Word. Whether we’re in a pandemic or not, we need God’s Word. We need to be reminded of our hope in Christ and our gospel identity. We need to be challenged to live faithfully and […]
The Book of Esther has often stood out as a controversial book of the Bible. Some theologians questioned whether it should even be in the Bible! It raises questions for any honest reader: Why is God never mentioned? Is Esther a woman of virtue or compromise? Does this condone the objectification and abuse of women? […]
“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed his glory, the glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). Nowhere else can one read such surprising words! At Christmas, we celebrate the incarnation of the Son of God – Jesus, the One who has […]

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 […]
When we started as a church, we began our first sermon series in the Gospel of Mark. From chapters 8-16 we considered that the way of discipleship for the Christian is the way of the cross. Those were important weeks in the life of our church. We started out with the sober call from Jesus […]
