Easter

Mar 31, 2024
Matt Smith

Our Easter worship celebrations are rooted in the account of resurrection from Mark’s Gospel. The women found the stone rolled away from the burial cave on that first Easter morning. Terror and amazement covered their bodies like a blanket; leaving them in silence. The faithful silence of the women creates space for the mystery and power of God’s presence to resound. Resurrection doesn’t just pull back the lid from an ancient tomb in Israel or uncover a single grave stone…

The Couch of Transformation

Feb 11, 2024
Matt Smith

Worship this Sunday holds the biblical account of transfiguration from Mark 9.2-9 in conversation with the recently released film called Freud’s Last Session. Instead of viewing the film from the posture of feeling compelled to take sides with either Freud or Lewis, we instead invite you to notice Freud’s couch of transformation.

Easter

Apr 9, 2023
Matt Smith

Our Easter worship is rooted in the resurrection account from John and the poetry of Wendell Berry who calls us to “practicing resurrection” in response to the resurrection on Easter — learning from the fox, the leaves, and the soil, among other revolutionaries.

Growing in Faith

Oct 10, 2021
Linda Dew-Hiersoux

Worship is rooted in Job 3:1, 7:11-21. After a time of silence with his companions, Job laments and goes directly to God with his deepest hurts, fears, and anger to God. Job enters a time of “radical not-knowing” and some might argue this marks an important step in his own journey of growing in faith. What might we learn from Job in our hopes for growing in faith? How do our current practices of help you to stay moored to God in…

God

Jul 26, 2015
Matt Smith

Matt’s message invites reflection on God. How might the Bible and Christian tradition shape the ways we talk about God? What images and metaphors might be faithful in our day to express God’s ineffability? This is the third week of our five-week worship series called On Ramp.

Subject: WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH BUT WE ARE JUDGED BY OUR WORKS. To the churches in my area, may God bless you, In the world today we learn of horrible things & we complain helplessly as we pass the messages on. We live in what seems to be a world of doom. So where are the solutions? There are solutions but… are they being intentionally silenced & hidden? Yes, we have solutions, but we have to stop being a ‘consumer only’ nation, waiting for everyone else to jump in to save us. “…that if any would not work, neither should he eat.” 2 Thessalonians 3:10. Churches have been secretly, intentionally & slowly divided to their ruin… can you see it? Then they don’t know what to do so they try to stay safe… we all do. But aren’t we called to train up disciples in all nations? We can’t do this if we are afraid, silent & divided. “For whosoever will save their life shall lose it, and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it.” Matthew 16:25. The unity of the church has untapped power in God, but He needs to hear from us… He needs us to be willing. America matters to God…. and it’s not just for us… the whole world depends on what happens to America. So in order to survive we need to unite and be the producers for God and country. It’s easier to save America now than it is to get it back once it’s gone. Think of our children and theirs. Here are two solutions: NewCaliforniaState.com New California State is the solution that uses the United States Constitution, just like the successful West Virginians did during the Civil War, to save their state AND our nation. God is here and in His power, America can be the next “Parting of the Red Sea” but we have to be present & repentant. ‘Let My People Go’, the movie/documentary by David Clement. rumble.com/v4hbzv0-full-movie-let-my-people-go-by-dr.-david-clements-watch-it-here.html?e9s=rel_v1_b David Clemet’s suppressed movie/documentary, “Let My People Go”, about election fraud and J6 is free for everyone to watch. This is a revealing appeal to ‘We the People’ and the Church to wake up from our indoctrination & brainwashing before our America is dead.

That was very helpful to hear on Sunday. Next would be helpful to repeat seminars in giving. We increase our donations each year and our taxes go up up up.

Very informative. Appreciate the transparency and the reminder that we're in this together.
