Text: Matthew 4:18-22
Preacher: Mr. Jeremy Zoet
We all have goals, plans, hopes, and dreams for our future. Things we want to start—or maybe stop—doing. But how do we get there? In this series to start the new year, we will explore some spiritual and practical steps you can take to become the person you want to be in five years. We begin by looking at the example set for us by The Disciples in Five Years starting in Matthew 4:18-22.
Text: Psalm 57
Preacher: Rev. Rick Vander Wall
Sometimes things just don’t go as planned. This year is a great example of that. Now, we are at the end of this year. Most of us are ok with this change to a new year, but at the same time wondering, maybe quietly, what will next year be like? This morning, as we anticipate a New Year just around the corner, we look to Psalm 57 to remind us God IS still in control.

Title: Seeking Christmas: Everlasting Father
Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower
Most of us are familiar with the events of the first Christmas, The manger, The shepherd watching sheep. The angels singing. The wise men. The little baby wrapped in cloths lying in the manner. But what if this birth is not just any birth, but the one event on which all of history turns and that can transform our lives. Join us this advent season as we meet Jesus who comes to us as the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. This week, we meet Jesus who comes to us as the Everlasting Father.

Title: Black, White, and the Gospel 2
Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower
In Ephesians 2, Paul says that Jesus has broken down the dividing wall that separated people from God and Jews from Gentiles. Over the next three weeks, we will be thinking about what it means for us today that Jesus has broken down the dividing wall between the races. How do we live out this core gospel truth in a culture of racial tensions and a history of racial oppression? Join us as we consider the importance of lament, confession, and repentance in healing the racial divide in our churches and communities.

Title: Christians and the Election 2
Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower
A week after many people went to the polls, a new President has been elected. Some are elected. Others in despair. both reactions want us of the danger of political idolatry in our lives. This week, we consider how we can turn away from the idolatry and back to our common allegiance to Jesus and his coming kingdom.

Title: Christians and the Election
Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower
This week, many people will go to the polls. Votes will be cast. Those already submitted will be counted. And then, on Wednesday or maybe a few days later after all the early ballots have been counted, our nation will have chosen its leaders for the next few years. Based on news accounts, social media feeds, and conversations, many people are anxious about this election. It feels like the most important election of their lives. As we consider Isaiah 40 this Sunday, we remember God is our true hope. He is our true security. And in him we find the joy and life we need.
