I Should Quit

September 25, 2022 • Pastor Bill Tucker • Luke 18:1–8

When life gets challenging, it can be tempting to give up. We can be tempted to quit
everything from our jobs to our relationships to even our very lives. Jesus encourages
perseverance by telling a story about a woman who goes through terribly trying
times. He also reminds us that our strength to continue comes from God through
prayer.

I'm the Only One

October 16, 2022 • Pastor Ethan Luhman • Hebrews 4:12–16

One of the reasons so many people struggle in silence is because they believe they’re the only one and that others would not understand – or, worse, judge them – if they ever found out what they were going through. The preacher of Hebrews reminds us that we always have someone who understands – Jesus – and we can bring Him anything.

Everything is Awful

October 9, 2022 • Pastor Bill Tucker • Lamentations 3:16–24

When something bad happens, it can be easy to let that bad thing become all-consuming. It becomes the filter through which we see our whole lives. The book of Lamentations was written during a tough time in Israel’s history – when they were in exile in Babylon. Although the author does not minimize his agony, he also does not totalize it. This awful situation is not the whole story. There is hope in God.

I Can Change Them

October 2, 2022 • Pastor Zach McIntosh • 2 Corinthians 6:14–18

Have you ever made someone your “project”? You think you can fix them, change them, or, perhaps, even save them? Paul reminds us that at the same time we may try to change someone, they are also potentially changing us. He encourages us, then, to choose our relationships wisely and reminds us that the deepest change comes through Christ.
