Worship on April 14, 2024: The Night Prayer

Worship with us on Sunday, April 14 at 9:30 a.m. Pastor Brett’s sermon is entitled “The Night Prayer,” with scriptures Luke 24:36-48, Acts 3:12-19, and Psalm 4.

Synopsis: In our Psalm today we hear the voice of David the Psalmist and of God. We hear a plea and lament as well as God’s rebuke. In the end though, we hear the voice of calm and peace that Jesus seeks for us to hear and know.

Sunday, April 7 Topic: What Now?

Worship with us on Sunday, April 7 at 9:30 a.m. Pastor Brett’s sermon is titled “What Now?” His scriptures include Luke 24:13-27, Luke 24:28-35, and Acts 1:1-8.

Synopsis: Place yourself in the position of the disciples. The natural question to ask is, what now? For three years they had followed Jesus, listened to His teachings, watched Him perform signs, and now they thought He was gone, so now what? Following some appearances to the disciples and others, Jesus tells them to wait in Jerusalem for the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Easter Sunday, March 31 – What Do We Believe?

Come on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. to celebrate our Risen Savior! Pastor Brett’s topic is “What Do We Believe?” Our scriptures include Luke 24: 1-12, John 2:18-22, and 1 Corinthians 15:12-21.

Synopsis: Ironically, Easter is the easiest and one of the most difficult services for Pastors – often times we fall into the trap of wanting to preach something new on the story everyone knows. I decided many years ago that Easter is not the time for something new. God gave us this great story – our story – and we need to hear it over and over and over again – or else we could fall into the trap that the Corinthians fell into.

Easter, it demands that we make a decision. Do we believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ? Do we believe that Jesus died for our sins on the cross? Do we believe Jesus to be, The Way, The Truth, and The Life?

Palm Sunday Worship, March 24

On Palm Sunday, March 24, 2024, Pastor Brett’s topic is “Triumph and Tears.” The scriptures include Zechariah 9:9, Luke 19:28-38, and Luke 19:39-44. Join us in worship at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday!

Synopsis: When we think of Palm Sunday, we think of a triumphant parade, we think of people waving palms and shouting, “Hosanna, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” We think of Jesus riding on a colt. One part of this parade we don’t think about is that Jesus stopped the parade to weep. We’ll look at why Jesus wept and ask some questions of ourselves.

March 10 Worship: Born Again

Worship with us this March 10, 2024 at 9:30 a.m. Pastor Brett’s sermon is entitled “Born Again.” Our scriptures include Numbers 21:4-9, John 3:1-13, and John 3:14-21.

Synopsis: Today we examine Jesus’ discussion with Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council who is curious and trying hard to believe in Jesus’ teachings. Nicodemus confesses Jesus is from God, based on the signs He is performing. Jesus talks about a number of things with Nicodemus, including the need to be born again. We’ll look primarily at what it means to be born again in the sermon today.

March 3 “All About the Kingdom of God”

Worship with us this March 3, 2024 at 9:30 a.m. Pastor Brett’s topic is “All About the Kingdom of God.” Our scriptures are Psalm 91:1-4, 2 Samuel 15:13-17, and Luke 13:31-35.

Synopsis: Today we continue our journey through Lent, preparing to experience Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. Today we experience Jesus weeping over Jerusalem, sad that most of the Jewish leadership and Jewish people have rejected Him and His ministry. The passage begs us to ask the question, does our life lead to Jesus, the cross, and the Kingdom of God, or are we more established in the world?

Worship on February 25 – God’s Plan

Join us this Sunday, February 25, 2024 for worship with Pastor Brett. His sermon is titled “God’s Plan” and the scriptures include Psalm 22:26-30, Isaiah 55:6-9, and Mark 8:31-38.

Our passage today tells of Jesus explaining to the disciples how His kingdom on earth would come to be. This wasn’t the picture that the Jewish people had in mind when they pictured the coming Messiah. Peter, in haste and disbelief, pulls Jesus aside and starts to rebuke Jesus. Jesus then rebukes Peter and explains that his thoughts are earthly and not divine. Do we ever make that mistake, focusing on earthly things, and not divine things as Jesus stated to Peter?

February 18th Worship: Presence of God

Join us this Sunday, February 18, 2024 for worship with Pastor Brett as he finishes our look at the 23rd Psalm. Our scriptures include 1 Peter 5:4-10, Hebrews 13:20-25, and, of course, Psalm 23.

Synopsis: This Sunday we will look at the remainder of the 23 Psalm. We see more thoughts that relate to the metaphor of Jesus as our shepherd. We are reminded that God is always there, always present with us, in all circumstances. We’ll explore what God preparing a table in the presence of our enemies is all about. We are also reminded that in holding firm in our faith, we will dwell with God forever and ever.
