Worship is rooted in the story of John crying out from the wilderness: “bear fruit worthy of repentance.” Pastor Matt’s message reflects upon a contemporary and unexpected example of what this looks like in our day.

The lives of Lawrence and others have been changed and they are experiencing deep joy…

Making All Things New
Worship is rooted in Revelation 21.1-8. The Greek word for “revelation” is apokalypsis. It literally means “A lifting of the veil.” Dr. Micah D. Kiel argues that John, the stated author of the book of Revelation, does not prescribe the destruction of the earth, but rather envisions an ecological alternative where God is sovereign, the Earth matters and has a voice, and Revelation offers a glimpse of wild and uncultivated places as the future that God will create. In this…

Falling and Rising
Worship on this first Sunday in the season of Christmas is rooted in Luke 2.22-40. Matt & Linda invite reflection on the blessing of the infant Jesus by Simeon & Anna. How might God be calling us into a life of falling and rising?
Tending Soil
Linda’s message is rooted in Philippians 3.4b-14. What seeds might God be planting within you that need your tending in order to grow? What’s holding you back from taking your next step of growing in faith?
Hidden Figures
Linda’s message weaves the acclaimed film Hidden Figures with Paul’s letter to early Christians in Rome (Romans 8.12-25).

Their lives were often hidden from the powers that be. The math they uncovered was also hidden from other scientists of their time. Just has God was moving through these hidden figures, God was also moving through a hidden…

Matt’s message is rooted in the story of the Unnamed Woman in Judges 19: 1-30. May we listen to the lessons in this story and focus our hearts on those who are hurting and vulnerable. Help us to be faithful followers of the Way by Jesus.
