Title: Parenting through Proverbs

Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

This Sunday, we start a new sermon series on parenting called: Parenting Through Proverbs.

In the first week of this series, we look at Provers 3:1-12 and hear it’s call to value focused time with our kids and to focus on character over achievement.

Title: Twisted: Root of Evil

Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

The Bible is full of wisdom. People love to quote their favorite verses to encourage and inspire each other—but sometimes, those verses get taken out of context. What happens when the most important message of all gets Twisted? In the final week of this short series we look at 1 Timothy 6:10. Not only taken out of context, but also often misquoted to say money is the root of all evil, our passage this week invites us to think carefully about how we relate to money.

Preacher: Mr. Ron Radcliffe

The Bible is full of wisdom. People love to quote their favorite verses to encourage and inspire each other—but sometimes, those verses get taken out of context. What happens when the most important message of all gets Twisted? In the third week of this short series we look at Jeremiah 29:11. We see it on graduation cards, and on trinkets. But, what if it doesn’t mean exactly what we think it means? And, what if the actually meaning is something better?

Text: Acts 2:1-2

Title: Pentecost

Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

As we ordain and install our new Elders and Deacons today and remember the first Pentecost, we gather in worship seeking the same outpouring of God’s Spirit in our own lives. We have seen the power of God’s Spirit to bring life to the spiritually dead, to bring reconciliation across cultural boundaries, and replace our idolatry with a deep love for the one true God. May we hear the call of Peter to repent and believe in the living Jesus this Pentecost.

Title: The Ascension: What’s the Big Deal?

Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

In Acts 1, Jesus ascends to heaven to sit at the right hand of God and rule over all creation. But, before he leaves, he promises the Holy Spirit and sends us out to proclaim the reality of his reign. This Sunday, we consider how the ascension of Christ both comforts us and sends us out into the world on mission with God.

This week, we look to the life of Barnabas to consider how we can multiply our lives by investing in others. This Sunday, we ask: Are you a Barney?

Our scars and failures help us to move from small love to big love. If Peter could do it, so can we. How the love of God moves us to love ourselves, our neighbors, all the way to the ends of the earth.
