Altogether Different: Space For Grace

April 21, 2024

Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-7

We can get so comfortable with our beliefs and opinions that the conclusions we’ve come to about what is right gives us an assurance that we are on God’s side. Even when all our beliefs and actions line up with the lives God has called us to, it was not those things that caused God to love us in the first place. We must remember that Jesus loved us “while we were still sinners” and that he loves even those who hold different beliefs and who don’t behave really well. As we continue our series Altogether Different, we will let Ephesians 4:1-7 guide us as we look for the reminder about God’s grace and how in the LORD’s love all people are being invited into relationship with Jesus.

Altogether Different: Space For Yes

April 14, 2024

Scripture: Romans 8:31-39

The longer that we have known Christ in our lives, the more difficult it can be to recognize just how radical God’s yes is to us. We start a new series today called Altogether Different. During this time we will explore Jesus’s plan for his church in the world and how we are each invited to be part of it. Romans 8:31-39 will help us to recognize the space God has invited us into with his yes. This encourages us to think more broadly about how Jesus is working through his church to extend God’s Yes to others.

How Are We Living For Jesus?

April 7, 2024

Scripture: John 20:19-31

We celebrated Christ’s resurrection last Sunday, but as we see from the Gospels, the empty grave is so important that it takes time for the disciples to get their hearts and minds around what it means. We are blessed to have Pastor Dee Finch and some of her people from Seneca Street UMC join us in worship today. Pastor Dee will help us to reflect on John 20:19-31, as we open our hearts to the risen Christ.

True Power: Cannot Be Stopped

March 31, 2024

Scripture: Mark 16:1-8

Once again, we are here to celebrate the glory of the resurrection of Jesus the Christ! And we see the honesty in the accounts of that first Easter in Mark 16:1-8. The message is clear: Jesus isn’t in the tomb, he has risen! Yet, his followers react with confusion, fear, sadness, and doubt. The Good News is that these honest responses do nothing to stop the true power of Jesus. He is risen no matter what. This is good news for all of us, no matter where we find ourselves in life Jesus power cannot be stopped.
