Seeking The Lost PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 30, 2025

Jesus seeks us where we are, calls us by name, and transforms our lives with grace that leads to joyful repentance and welcome.

I wonder how many of us walked in today feeling small. Small under the weight of worries, small beside someone else’s success, small in the shadow of our own failures. We learn early how to tuck ourselves away—behind busyness, behind bravado, behind careful smiles. We wear “I’m fine” like it’s ...read more

FLEEING THE TOMB Mark 16:1-8 If we walked into what the women walked into that early Sunday morning, my guess is that we all would have been tempted to flee the tomb, too.

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 9, 2020

Looking at coronavirus - is there a bigger picture? We need to look, but we also need to be cautious in interpreting what we 'see'.
