Called by the Shepherd’s Voice
This week, Pastor Lorne reminds us there is nothing we can do to earn our place in God’s flock.
God Finds Us
Does your life feel less like full light and more like a dim, uncertain dawn. Pastor Lorne reminds us that during those times we don’t have to find our way to God – God is already moving in the places we’ve written off as sealed shut.
Called by Name
Have you ever felt stuck by loss or grief? Pastor Melinda uses the story of Mary at the empty tomb to remind us that God shows up before we climb out of the darkness, meets us where we are, and calls us by our name: Beloved.
Your Part in the Story
Where do you see yourself in the Good Friday story? We have all played parts similar to those Jesus’ encounters of his journey to the cross. We have all sat by and justified our inaction in the face of the hurt of the world. Pastor Alex reminds us that Jesus is different – he sees the pain of the world and walks right into the middle of it, letting us see that God’s love for each of us has no bounds.
Jesus Knows and Loves You
Who is the real you – the person you don’t share with the world? On this Maundy Thursday, Pastor Lorne reminds us that Jesus know exactly who we are – and despite our shortcomings & faults, He loves us just the same.
Rebuilding for God’s Future
When have you come together with other people to build something greater than you could have created on your own? This week, Pastor Melinda uses the story of Nehemiah (Nehemiah 2:17-3) to explore how God brings people together in community to build His Kingdom on earth.
Stepping into the Unknown
How do you respond to people around you who are going through a difficult time, such as an illness, loss of a job, or the death of a loved one? This week, Pastor Lorne uses the story of Ruth (Ruth 1:1-18) to explore what it looks like to journey with loved ones who are hurting. How often our mere presence and love – and trust that God is working through all of it – is all that is required.
Mountaintop Moments
What are your mountaintop moments—those times when you felt uniquely close to God? Pastor Melinda reminds us how these moments show us whose we are—beloved children of God—and how they prepare us to share a different kind of love that moves toward the world, even when the world pushes back.
Being God’s Salt & Light
Jesus calls us to be like both salt & light, but what does that mean? In today’s sermon, Pastor Alex explore what Jesus is telling us when He says we are like salt & light (Matthew 5:13-16), explains why those two descriptions are actually quite similar, and how living into these two qualities helps bring God’s peace, love, and grace into a world that needs it.
Responding Through Grace
How can you respond to the hurt, injustice, and suffering of this world? Pastor Lorne encourages to answer the pain of the world as Jesus did—with blessings, love, grace, and compassion so that our actions will help write a different story in the world.
Finding Christ in the Quiet
There is always something to do. As many of us are hunkered down during this large snowstorm, Pastor Lorne encourages to take advantage of this time—not to clean the house or try to tackle the never-ending “To Do” list—but to enjoy the break and experience the quiet. It’s in these moments of retreat where the light of Christ often breaks through.
Walking with the Lamb of God
There is no shortage of injustice in the world. And while it’s important to respond that each of us respond to this suffering, the way by which we do is just as important. Join Pastor Alex for an exploration into how we can follow Jesus’ example and not respond with violence, but rather with compassion, grace, mercy, and love.
Rooted in Identity
In this week's sermon, Pastor Lorne explores how many of us are motivated by things like anxiety, fear, or proving ourselves and encourages us to reorient our drive from our identity in Christ.
Finding Light in the Darkness
Regardless of where you find yourself at the beginning of this new year, Pastor Melinda encourages us to remember that Jesus, the true light of the world, was here before us, is already ahead of us, and is with us now.
A Child in the Manger
A medical diagnosis, the loss of a job, a strained relationship - the world gives no shortage of reasons to want to protect our hearts from hurt and pain. On this Christmas Eve, Pastor Lorne encourages to navigate the seasons of life as Christ did – with humility, openness, and love.
The Power of Showing Up
Do you bring a lot of expectations into the season of Christmas? Pastor Lorne encourages us to leave the expectations of perfection behind and focus our efforts on showing up and being present to whatever the season brings.
Navigating Wilderness
Are you wandering in the wilderness? Feeling lost or uncertain can be a signal you are in a “wilderness season” of life. In today’s sermon, Pastor Melinda explores the Biblical concept of wilderness, what being in the wilderness might mean for you, and how you can find hope when you feel lost or uncertain.
Preparing the Way
What does it mean to prepare for the Lord’s coming? Pastor Alex explores Matthew 24:36-44 and ways we can prepare our hearts & minds for Christ’s return.
The Gifts of God Unite Us
Pastor Melinda explores how the gifts that sustain us today are the same gifts God has used to sustain people across the ages.
The Gifts of God are for All
Pastor Alex explores the amazing truth that God’s gift of grace is freely given to all people, not just a select few.
