Life with the Shepherd
Text: John 10:22-30
AS WE GATHER: Today is the fourth Sunday of Easter and the joy of the Resurrection continues to bless our worship. Today is also known as Good Shepherd Sunday and we are reminded that Jesus cares for his people like a shepherd cares for his flock. Today is also a day to celebrate our Mothers. - May 1, 2022How to Find Peace
How to Find Peace
"How to Find Peace" - Philippians 4
AS WE GATHER: In the first lesson today we hear about the conversion of the Apostle Paul who went from being someone who was out to destroy the Christian community to one who brought the "Peace of Christ" to them. Paul writes in the Epistle lesson about the "Peace that passes all understanding." In the Gospel lesson Jesus tells us that the way to peace is through Him because "He is the Way and the Truth and the Life." We will learn how to find that peace in the Message today. - Apr 24, 2022A Message of Peace
A Message of PeaceA Message of Peace
The celebration of Easter continues in our worship today. The Gospel reading tells of the excitement and challenges of that first week, while the reading from Acts tells of how quickly the message of Jesus’ resurrection spread after Pentecost through the message of the apostles. With Easter joy comes God’s promise of peace through the challenges of our life.

Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life
EASTER SUNDAY Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life To the dead man, Jesus was life. To the prostitute, He was a second chance. To the searching, He was the long-awaited answer.

Mercy in Bread and WineIN VIEW OF GOD’S MERCY:
Welcome to this service for Maundy Thursday. As the bread is broken and the cup is poured in this service, Christ’s body and blood serve as agents of God’s mercy to us who are broken by sin and thirsting for righteousness. We now live covered by God’s mercy. - Apr 10, 2022Choose Church
Choose Church
BEING CHALLENGE: Choose Church
In the time when Jesus lived, the people assembled in either the temple or a synagogue. In all four Gospel accounts, on several different occasions, it is mentioned that Jesus was found at the temple or synagogues on a daily basis. Hebrews 10:25 exhorts us to “not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Church is not just something we do to feel good, it is an important spiritual habit that Jesus practiced and God’s Word encourages. - Apr 6, 2022Mercy in Service

- Apr 3, 2022Seek Solitude
Seek SolitudeBEING CHALLENGE:
Jesus had an extremely busy life. He was a very wanted man, crowds continually followed Him, pressed in on Him, and made requests of Him, etc. And yet, in the midst of all the busyness, Jesus was never so hurried that He missed out on the one person that He needed most. Solitude with God allowed Jesus to stay focused on the mission God called Him to. God has also called you to live on mission for Him.

- Mar 27, 2022Prioritize Prayer
Prioritize Prayer
BEING CHALLENGE: Prioritize PrayerIn the Scriptures, we see Jesus praying alone, early, often and consistently. We see Him pray in nature, in solitude, overnight, before miracles, to offer thanksgiving, in the midst of difficulty, and even when He doesn’t like what’s ahead. Prayer was always a priority in the life of Jesus in every circumstance. Today we’ll learn about the keystone habit of prioritizing prayer in our lives. - Mar 23, 2022Mercy in Betrayal

Study Scripture
BEING CHALLENGE: Study Scripture
In the only documented story, we have of Jesus Christ as a grown child, we see Him at the temple talking with and learning from the scholars about the Scriptures. At the end of that story, in Luke 2:52, we are told that Jesus Christ continued to grow in wisdom. Are you continuing to grow in wisdom? Studying Scripture allows you to gain wisdom about who God is and about who you are as His child. - Mar 16, 2022Mercy in Suffering
