This Sunday is the first Sunday of the Christian year and the first Sunday of Advent, the 4-week season that leads up to Christmas. We’re starting a brand new, very ancient worship journey this Sunday through the ups, downs, twists, and turns of the Christian year, beginning with a season of Waiting. Although we don’t like to wait much in our culture, some of the most important things in life require us to wait. Join us for this message as we learn about “Waiting for God’s Justice.”
Can you think of any “turning point” or “fork in the road” moments in your life? Jesus gave his first disciples a moment like that when he told them that he was going to die on a cross. That was enough to send many of his disciples running away. But the ones who stayed were strengthened so much that their message has changed the world. Join us on this for this message hear the good news of Christ the Crucified King.
Saint and Sinner. Some people divide the world into these two categories. Some people see the line running right through themselves. As we continue our Trail Markers series this week, join us as we learn from the Bible and from the Christians who have gone before us about the power of sin and salvation in our lives.
As we continue our Trailmarkers series today, we explore how Luther's sign, Sola Scriptura, can help us grow in maturity as followers of Christ rather than travelling off the trail in other directions.
In Jesus Christ, there is no longer any need for a human intermediary between us and God. Jesus is our high priest forever, and the Holy Spirit connects us to God, but we are called to serve each other, to help our neighbors know the love and power of God that sets us free. This calling is to serve one another as a priesthood of all believers, who encourage each other in relationship with God. No matter where we are, God can use our lives to help others merge into the story of his love.
Today, we start a new series called Trailmarkers focused on signs that keep us on the path of following Christ in the midst of the real challenges, struggles, and opportunities we have in life. The first sign, The Journey Starts at Home, helps us to live out our faith in our closest realtionships and to the pass on the faith to the next generation through real relationships.
Jesus' Great Commission says that "all authority" has been given to him. But how can that be true in a world so obviously not living like Jesus? Join us for this message to learn about Jesus' authority "in heaven and earth" and about his promise to be with us always.
In his Great Commission to us in Matthew 28, Jesus calls us to make disciples of all the world, baptizing and teaching others to obey all that he has commanded us. Why is baptism so important in the life of a disciple? What does this commission mean for how we are to live as followers of Jesus?
