Thank You, Jesus
March 31, 2024 • Pastor Tim Veenstra • Exodus 15:1–18
If anyone has a reason to praise or to have a heart overwhelmed with gratitude, it is the follower of Jesus. Thank You, God, for loving us so much that You sent Your Son, Jesus. Thank You, Jesus, for dwelling among us, teaching us how to live, and ultimately for taking our sin and our shame to the cross. Thank You for the promise of Your Spirit and for future resurrection. We have a reason to praise. Thank You, Jesus!

March 24, 2024 • Pastor Peter Damaska • Exodus 35:3–4, Matthew 21:1–6
It’s an (almost) impossible thing to imagine that the God of the universe is interested in people like us. And not only is He interested, but He extends an invitation to us to participate! What could we possibly offer that would please Him? The answer may surprise you, but it won’t disappoint you.
Trust and Obey. Who, Me?
March 17, 2024 • Pastor Peter Damaska • Exodus 20, Exodus 19
Common to each of us is the experience of comparison. And if you’ve ever disqualified yourself from something (either publicly or privately), your reasons likely stem from seeing yourself not as good as ______________. (You fill in the blank.) But we are invited to much more than the habit of personal/early disqualification. Today’s snapshot of Moses at Mount Sinai is filled with encouragement for those moments we want to back away from what is coming our way.
Out-n-In
March 10, 2024 • Pastor Tim Veenstra • John 17:13–19, Exodus 4:24–26
Life is full of highs, lows, and everything in between. Moses, one of the key figures of the Old Testament, gives us access to his story, both the highs and the lows. Do you see your story in his story? Stuck between different worlds, Moses is faced with a decision. To what or whom will he identify himself with and how will that affect every part of his life?
Worthy to be Praised
August 7, 2022 • Pastor Tim Veenstra • Exodus 3:13–14
Have you ever struggled to find the right word to describe something or someone? The greater the depth of something, the harder it is to describe with language. Now think about the infinite depths of God and how inadequate language is in describing who God is. And yet in our limitations of language, it is important to declare who our God is.
