And, Happy Mother’s Day! When evil pounces, God is there with us – but that doesn’t mean God makes it all go away! Jesus knew his followers would draw attack and even suffer divisions within their ranks. Evil is a part of this world. So he prayed to the Father, “Protect them!” “I ask you […]

When doubt clouds, ask God for faith! One Worship service @ 10am on Sunday, April 8 – Doubt arises in our minds easily and naturally. It sure did for Thomas, one of Jesus’ closest followers.

They were expecting a different kind of leader, one who would overthrow the Roman occupiers. But Jesus used stories like this one to help people understand that the […]
The starting point for everything: God’s love for us! God’s love – it’s the core of absolutely everything we believe as Christians. Love so big, so deep, so strong that nothing can overpower it. Not anything. Not ever! Our faith becomes the only possible response to that utterly amazing, redeeming, transforming love. “God so loved […]
Is this really the life you want, anyway? Jesus’ idea about life might surprise you: Lose it to find it. And what you find will be way, way, way better than anything you imagined. Life for God. Life for others. Life fuller and sweeter than whatever you thought was so much fun before you lost […]
