  • Love Our Neighbors, Know Their Names Luke 10, 1 Corinthians 13

    Love Our Neighbors, Know Their Names Luke 10, 1 Corinthians 13
    2025/12/21
    The advent of Jesus Christ is the embodiment of John 3:16. God so loved the world – and so… Christ came to earth. His advent is the manifestation of God’s love for the world. But we must not allow our understanding of God’s love to remain merely at such a large-scale. God’s love for the world was expressed in many small, private, and personal ways. Over the course of His time among us – Christ loved the world, yes, but He loved people. He learned their names, their stories. If we are to do the same – loving our neighbors – we must know their names. Join us as we explore Jesus’ personal and compassionate love for the individuals that make up His creation! -Pastor Nate Roschen

  • Advent 2025: God Moved into the Neighborhood Joy & Pain – Isaiah 53

    Advent 2025: God Moved into the Neighborhood Joy & Pain – Isaiah 53
    2025/12/14
    There may be no other time of the year where the difference between happiness and joy is more evident. Happiness, as I’m sure you’ve learned, is circumstantial, derived from our experience. Joy is something else entirely, derived from a knowledge of our relationship with God – and His love. This joy is hard-won. Christ earned an eternal joy for all those who look to Him as Lord and Savior at the cross and the resurrection. But this joy was glimpsed, certainly, at Christmas. It is a joy won through pain as the Son of God submitted Himself to His creation. Join us this Sunday, as we see the joy that Christ brought to the neighborhood – this costly gift – won through pain. -Pastor Nate Roschen

  • Advent 2025: God Moved into the Neighborhood Peace - Luke 2, Matthew 5

    Advent 2025: God Moved into the Neighborhood Peace - Luke 2, Matthew 5
    2025/12/07
    The world that God created – and the one He desires – is one of peace. But, as we saw last week, this was not the world that Jesus was born into. Over the course of 400 years, Judea had been under the thumb of six other powers. There was no peace, no stability, no comfort to be found. When God moved into the neighborhood – He brought with Him a peace that can only be found in Him. He was called the Prince of Peace, and Luke’s gospel recounts that peace would come to those on whom His favor rests. Still, as we examine Jesus’ life and His teachings, there is often a noticeable lack of peace. How He spoke of peace was alien to His audience, and when He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, the crowds were looking for a certain kind of peace – but they would never have it. How does Jesus bring peace? And how do we join Him in His peacemaking? Join us this Sunday as we continue our way through this advent season. -Pastor Nate Roschen

  • Advent 2025: God Moved into the Neighborhood -- Psalm 146 - Luke 1

    Advent 2025: God Moved into the Neighborhood -- Psalm 146 - Luke 1
    2025/11/30
    What happens when God moves into the neighborhood? For us, this question is no longer a hypothetical – Jesus Christ, the Son of God – took on flesh and came to earth. He walked our ground, knew our temptations, felt our vulnerabilities. He moved into the neighborhood. This advent season we will explore the comfort, as well as the challenge of this fact. What are the implications of God coming into our midst - to live among us? We don’t need to wonder – what would He do? He did. This week we’ll look at examples of the hope that Jesus brought to the villages and communities that He visited in His time on earth. We have much to learn from our God who is our example. Join us this advent season! -Pastor Nate Roschen

  • Jesus and the Adulterous Woman - John 8

    Jesus and the Adulterous Woman - John 8
    2025/11/23
    Join us this Sunday as we read the passage of the adulterous woman in John 8. Jesus is being pressed by the Pharisees to lay judgement on an adulterous woman. In the end, Jesus tells her “Then neither do I condemn you,” Why did He not condemn her? Jesus has a plan for this woman and for you and me. God so desperately wants your presence with him in eternity that Jesus willingly took on the judgement meant for us to grant us access to the kingdom of heaven. -Elder Jason Moat

  • Jesus – the Bread of Life - John 6:22-71

    Jesus – the Bread of Life - John 6:22-71
    2025/11/16
    Throughout the world – people are hungry. We are familiar with the heartbreaking stories – and the pictures of people who are starving for food. But that’s not the whole picture. Many of those same poor people - - and many rich people with an abundance of food - - and people who have healthy families – who have experienced great accomplishment and gained power and position and the praise of other people – are still hungry. Often towards the end of their careers – or lives, they admit that they are still unfulfilled and unhappy – and without hope. They still have an unsatisfied hunger. Jesus Christ can satisfy that hunger. And He is the only one who can truly satisfy – and the only one we need. He gives a new, vastly superior quality of life – and one that endures forever! He is the Bread of Life which came down from heaven! He who comes to [Him] shall never hunger, and he who believes in [Him] shall never thirst. (Jn. 6:35). -- Michael Patrick (guest speaker)

  • Community Thanksgiving Service Gratitude Beyond Circumstance Exodus 14-15

    Community Thanksgiving Service Gratitude Beyond Circumstance Exodus 14-15
    2025/11/09
    In the New Testament, Paul exhorts his audience to be thankful approximately 45-50 times. Let that sink in for just a moment. Why? Why do followers of Christ need to be reminded to live a life of gratitude? In this life we live in the “already but not yet.” Somewhere between the pavement and the stars. We have been granted salvation by God, our eternal life with Him has begun, and yet we still experience heartbreak, disappointment, and grief. So, we are reminded in Scripture – that the evidence of God’s goodness is not simply our own lives. The evidence is the life of Christ – it is God’s actions toward us. This Sunday we’ll be looking at stories from the Exodus – God’s deliverance of His people from their circumstances - and their responses to Him. Join us this Sunday for our Community Thanksgiving Service – where we remember what God has done – and learn to respond to His goodness in a way that brings His loving kindness to others. -Pastor Nate Roschen

  • The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 6

    The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 6
    2025/11/02
    In John 6 the season of Passover is approaching, and as the people of Israel reflect on God’s deliverance from Egypt, the passing through the Red Sea and God’s provision of manna from heaven – Jesus returns to Galilee, feeds people with bread and fish miraculously, and walks upon the water. This is what God does - the sorts of actions that define Him. He feeds, protects, rescues and guides – though calamity may surround His followers. Join us this Sunday as we walk through these memorable stories of Jesus and see the connections between His work here and the Passover that His followers would have been familiar with! -Pastor Nate Roschen
