True stability and rest are found by knowing God through Jesus, the Bread of Life, who anchors us when life feels uncertain and overwhelming.
Some weeks feel like riding a rickety elevator: you’re not sure what floor you’ll land on, you just hope the doors open and you can step out standing. The headlines howl, the inbox fills, the calendar crowds. You try to smile, but your soul sighs. Have you felt that lately? Have you wondered, ...read more

Because we want others to approve of us, we feel a pressure to displace some of God’s commands with peer group rules or trends.
The Danger of Displacement (Mark 7:1-13) 1. One of my favorite Jewish jokes (I have told before) is the following: 2. A Jewish congregation was arguing over whether one should stand or sit during the Shema Yisrael. Half of the congregation said one should sit, the other half insisted one should ...read more

Our population is growing at an exponential rate and more and more people are moving into the city centers, yet people have never felt so alone. What can we do to combat the isolation...
We, as a society, seem to constantly be in a hurry. Although we live in a city of 3 million people, walk past tens or possibly hundreds of people everyday, we rarely come into contact with people. Our schedules are packed and rest is something we jam in every chance we get. The office just needs ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 22:39
Trusting God’s presence and help gives us courage and steadiness, even when life feels overwhelming and uncertain, because faith refuses to panic.
Some of us walked in today with hearts that feel waterlogged. Headlines pound like hail on a tin roof. Bills stack up like sandbags at the door. A diagnosis, a disappointment, a detour you didn’t see coming—each one another inch on the flood gauge of the soul. You wonder, “How high will this go? ...read more

Scripture: Philippians 4:9
Have you ever noticed that when children play games, some children are always the last to be chosen? How do you think Jesus feels when he sees that happening? I think he feels very sad, because he loves everyone and he wants us to love everyone.
Good morning boys and girls! Look what I have for all of you this morning! I got this idea from my mother when I remembered the times when she could come to church here and bring treats for the Sunday School children. Can anyone tell me what they are?)

Joy is a feeling that no matter how hard life is, I have the best that life can offer in Christ. Anyone can feel good and be happy when all is going well and life is free of negatives. But with the fruit of joy you can rejoice in the Lord always, even when life is full of negatives
Martin Clark said every church should have a humor committee because there are more funny things that happen in church than in a zoo, for people are funnier than the animals. God made man to be the only creature on earth who can laugh because of his sense of humor. Christians need a sense of ...read more

There are many people in this world that wish to follow Christ, isn’t that true? How many people gathered here today wish to follow Christ? All of us here have the deep desire in our heart to follow our Lord and Savior. In fact, this desire was what motivated us to find a congregation where we ...read more
