I've Got A Sound Mind
April 27, 2024 • Doug Wekenman
Pastor Doug Wekenman addresses the topic of mental health and how we can view it from a Biblical context. When we trust in Jesus we can declare a ‘sound mind’ even when we don’t feel it because Jesus died to set us free! When the storms of life come we can cling to the promise of 2 Timothy 1:7 “for God has not given is a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.”
The Door
March 16, 2024 • Doug Wekenman
Doug Wekenman continues our "I Am" series with Jesus' third "I Am" statement in the gospel of John where He says, "I am the door." In this one statement Jesus proclaims that He is the one and only way to abundant life both here on earth, and forever in Heaven. The door is not exclusive, but it is specific. Jesus came to save everyone, and in His perfect love and grace He gives us the option to choose Him or to choose our own way. He made a way when there was no way!
The Bread of Life
March 2, 2024 • Doug Wekenman
Doug Wekenman kicks off a new series about the book of John. The "I Am" series will explore the seven "I Am" statements Jesus makes in the Bible and ask the question, "Who is God?" Jesus says He is the "Bread of Life" and that means that not only is He our provision (what we need) but He is also our satisfaction (what we want). When we look to Him as our source, we find that only He can satisfy our deepest hunger.

Drug of Choice
October 14, 2023 • Doug Wekenman
The things we use to help us avoid pain are never-ending—addiction, anger, anxiety, comparison, or distraction; drugs, food, gambling, or social media. Doug Wekenman encourages us to find freedom from those things by feeling the pain and letting God heal it rather than just cover it up.
