    When we find ourselves in the depths of despair, we have the gift of Jesus … the very embodiment of God’s “hesed” … God’s steadfast love … and we have the cross to remind us of the greatest Christmas gift of all, amen?

    Advent is a time of tension. There is the joy and anticipation of the season and the stress and strain of trying to prepare for it, amen? But the season itself represents an historical and theological tension as well and I am going to use songs from the Jewish song book and songs from our own ...read more

    We are deeply flawed yet deeply loved; God’s law reveals our need, and only Christ’s grace can heal and restore us.

    If you walked in today feeling a little weary, worried, or worn-out, you’re in good company. We bring our Mondays and our midnights, our sighs and our secrets, into the same sanctuary. Some of us carry guilt that nags like a dull ache. Others carry questions that won’t sit down. And a few of us ...read more

    Jesus’ sacrifice fully cleanses our deepest guilt, offering complete forgiveness and hope, because we are more loved in Christ than we ever imagined.

    Some stains laugh at soap. You scrub and soak, and they just smile back at you. Life has its stains too—memories that will not fade, words we wish we never said, habits that haunt our sleep. We carry quiet shame the way a traveler shoulders a heavy pack. We try harder, promise bigger, resolve ...read more

    The sermon invites believers to the Lord’s Supper as a place of grace, unity, and renewal, where Christ’s presence and promises nourish and sustain us.

    Pull up a chair at the table of grace. Imagine the Savior’s hands—steady, scarred, and sure—lifting bread and a cup. Imagine the warmth of lamplight, the closeness of friends, and the quiet hush that falls when Jesus speaks. A table gathers people. A table settles hearts. A table says, "Come and be ...read more

    Church family, have you noticed how a simple sentence at the right time can steady your soul?

They remind your heart that ...read more

You know the scoreboard I mean—the quiet tally of how we’re doing compared to others, the inner itch to be seen as enough, the nervous need to be noticed and approved. We measure our worth by the week we had, the ...read more

    God draws near to us in our loneliness, offering peace and hope by pouring His love into our hearts through Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

    Some nights feel longer than others. The house is quiet, the phone is still, and the ache of an empty chair at the table can sound like thunder in the soul. Bills stack up, worries pile high, and even in a crowded room it’s easy to feel hidden in plain sight. We smile for photos, but the heart can ...read more

    A true unity in the Lord is something we must never take for granted, and something for which we ought always to pray and work
