Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost; Fuller Sounds Handbells is playing at the Sanctuary Service. Lynn Gorton will be preaching.

Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost, Pastor Paul A. Bennett will conclude the sermon series “Blood” with a sermon based on 1 Peter 1:17-21.

I want the stuff of the world to leave my heart and everything of God to enter in.

In Leviticus we find out that it is blood that washes clean all the stains of the Israelite people. What do we need the blood to wash away in our lives?

We will learn this week how God uses blood to teach us about the lifeblood of our lives her and now and for all eternity. What is your lifeblood?

It feels like we are stuck. Are we ever going to get through this pandemic? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

How have you experienced a living Jesus Christ in the midst of these last 19 months and how is he using them to prepare you for the new community on the other side?

Where have God’s challenges and hard truths caused us to turn away, or even just stall out in our faith? Has our experience of the pandemic distanced us from Jesus and the church in the same manner?

In your times of quarantine and isolation are you aware that you are not alone?

Jesus calls us to witness to our faith. We are to share our faith and our faith experience of Jesus Christ and how he is, was, and will move in our lives.

Today we are hoping that you will come to grips with the fact that you have truly been consecrated. Now that you know that, what’s next?

Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost, Pastor Paul Bennett continues the sermon series “Big Church Words” with a sermon about righteousness based on 2 Corinthians 5:11-21.

Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost, Rev. Dan Bogre continues the sermon series “Big Church Words” with a sermon about covenant based on Exodus 19:1-8.

With so many church traditions and rituals that have grown extinct over the course of the church’s 2000 year history, why are sacraments still a part of regular church practice? What can they continue to teach us about ourselves and our relationship with God?

What you do with the invitation now will decide if you receive the invitation for the party that lasts for all eternity. You have been invited. What have you done with the invitation?

Are we missing the full experience of God’s Kingdom at work in our world and within us?

Jesus uses example after example to drive home the point that the kingdom of heaven is the most beautiful thing we will ever experience. Are you looking for happiness or true joy that lasts?

Happy July 4th! The Sixth Sunday after Pentecost and Communion, Pastor Paul Bennett will begin the sermon series “Dual Citizenship” with the sermon based on 1 John 2:15-17.

It was never about Ruth. It was about what God wanted her to do in her life and with her life in order to take care of Naomi. I wonder what the world would look like if we/I learned how to say, “It’s not about me” more often in our lives?

Happy Father’s Day! You are someone’s link to faith in their life. Will you step up for them and for Christ when you are called upon?
