“Almighty one there is something I wanted to ask you but I stumble along the edge of a nameless rage, haunted by a hundred floating fears, of war, of losing my job of failing, of getting sick and old, having loved ones die, of dying and I forget what it is the real question is I wanted to ask and I forget to listen anyway because you seem unreal and far away and I forget what it is I have forgotten. O God, don't forget me, please, for the sake of Jesus Christ.”
- Ted Loder
“I am running on fumes again. I am burning the candle at both ends and can’t stop because it feels like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. The responsibilities and duties that fall on me are too much. There is not enough time or energy or finances of bandwidth. I am coming to the edge of myself. I can’t keep going and I can’t rest. God, can you help me slow down? I need just a little shelter, a little breather so I can take a minute and rest.”

What does “home” mean to you?
Is it a place of joy and comfort? Or a place of worry and frustration?
A retreat from the outside world? Or a platform for serving others?
The way that we see our family home affects how we see our church home.
This month, let’s Reimagine Home together, and find out how Jesus calls us to make our home in him, and with each other.

Advent means coming or arrival. During the season of Advent, we celebrate Christ’s coming into the world and watch with expectant hope for his coming again.

We're going to look at what we believe about eternal life. People, including Christians, believe all kinds of things about what happens after we die, but most of them aren't what we learn from the Bible. Once again, we turn to Jesus' cross, death, and resurrection for all the answers we're going to get, which thankfully are all the answers we need.

Today we look at the doctrine of sin. We will study the story of original sin in the garden and how it shows us the sin of pride and the lesser known sin of hiding . Then we'll learn what Jesus says is our purpose in life and what happens when we wander away from God.

Today we look at the problem of evil. If God is all the things that we believe (loving, just, and powerful) then why do terrible things happen? Today we will see that this is one of the biggest questions the Bible asks, and it asks it over and over again. Instead of an answer, God gives us a person, his son, Jesus Christ. Today we will wrestle with the questions.

Let's look at the doctrines of the Trinity and the Holy Spirit. How does our understanding of the trinity impact our understanding of God? How can it change how we live in relationship to other people? The answer to these is more than we might think.

We begin a new series “Confirmation for Everyone” Whether you are just starting to explore Christianity or have been in the pews for 40 years, this will be a time to focus on what it means to be a Christian. Each week we will cover one topic about the Christian faith and invite you to learn a memory verse, participate in discussion and read along with us in the book Christian Doctrine by Shirley Guthrie.
We will start today by learning more about what the Bible is (and isn't), what we do when the Bible seems to contradict itself, and learn a few key guidelines for interpreting Bible passages. Most importantly we will see that our faith isn't in a book. It is in the person of Jesus Christ.

This week’s heroes are David and Nathan from the books of 1st and 2nd Samuel. David has one of the most epic life stories recorded in the Bible. He is incredibly talented, but it is his character that makes him a hero. When his character fails, Nathan is there to help him.

The heroes of the Old Testament do extraordinary things in the history of God's people. They part seas and win battles. They overcome oppressors and restore peace. Often we wonder how we can be more like them. But what if we aren’t a hero?
As we study these Bible stories, we will instead look at the people around the heroes. What makes a hero and how can we respond when we find one?
This week’s hero is Deborah from the book of Judges

Fearless faith means living like that is true. What if you woke up every day and asked yourself, “What would I do if I was absolutely confident that God was with me?” How would your life be different if you had that kind of faith?

The question for today isn’t how can we get you to the deep end of the water the fastest.
The question for you today is can you take the next step, your next step? Can you let Jesus get a little closer? Or can you listen to his teaching? Or let him into one small area of your life? Or, if it’s time, give it all over, leap into the air, and dive in ready to swim?
Whatever your next step is to follow Jesus . . . what if you took it?
