Spring Sundays

Care for the Kids

May 26, 2024 • Pastor Tim Veenstra • James 1:27, Matthew 19:13–15

Jesus rebukes and reminds His disciples that the Kingdom of heaven belongs to those like children. Kids are small windows into a very big reality. The innocence, the blind faith, and the curious wonder of a child are signposts to experiencing God. Protect kids at all cost. How might God be calling our collective body to care for kids?

What Are You Carrying?

May 12, 2024 • Pastor Tim Veenstra • Matthew 11:28–30

Jesus’ invitation is beautiful. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” What are you carrying?

The Better Way

May 5, 2024 • Pastor Peter Damaska • Matthew 9:10–13, Hosea 6:6

To both the religious insiders and the moral outsiders, Jesus gives a goal—a better way to orient our lives. Some people pursue the correct church behaviors, while others are just living for what the weekend has to offer. But what if there’s a better way? What if we were created for more than the weekend? If we’re willing to learn it, Jesus has a life lesson for all of us.

Keys to Keeping the Faith

April 28, 2024 • Pastor Tim Veenstra, Dylan Miller • 2 Timothy 2:1–13

Paul writes to young Timothy, encouraging and exhorting him to stay the course, keep sound doctrine, and steer the early church in Ephesus. This was a difficult task in a pagan city. The cultural pressures inside and outside the church were mounting. Paul gives Timothy three pictures (or three keys) to keep the faith.
