(November 10) Sanctuary Worship - This Is a Life-Line

Sermon: "This Is a Life-Line" (John 15:1-11)
At the center of Christian living is Jesus, our source and giver of life. As Jesus prepared his followers for his death and resurrection, he makes clear that a connection with him is vital for their lives. We, too, must make the same choice each day: to stay connected to the only source of true life, Jesus.
(November 3) Sanctuary Worship (All Saints Sunday) Untie Your Faith
November 3, 2024 • Rev. Dr. Craig S. Brown • Luke 11:32–44
* 10 Worship Service (All Saints Service)
* 10 First Free Kids gathering (infant through 5th grade)
* Wednesday, Youth Group (middle and high school)
Sermon: "Untie Your Faith" (John 11:32-44)
People of faith often talk about how they are different or transformed because of their faith. When times of testing come, however, that faith may not be as important as it seems. This is especially true when we face death. Too often, we face the reality of death in the same way the world does. In this week's sermon, Jesus challenges us to a new kind of faith, especially in the face of death.
(October 27) Sanctuary Worship - Caring About What Matters

* 10 Worship Service
* 10 First Free Kids gathering (infant through 5th grade)
* Wednesday, Youth Group (middle and high school)
Sermon: "Caring About What Matters" (John 9:1-12)
When something amazing happens, we often first ask how it happened. During a difficult season for us or others, we often ask what caused things to be this way. What gets lost here is caring in the moment. In this week's sermon Jesus helps us to stay focused on caring for the person right in front of us.

(Sermon "To Protect and Serve" Luke 10:7-18)
Feeling and knowing we are safe is important. When this is true, we have confidence to live in new ways. Jesus makes it clear to his disciples that they have this through his death and resurrection. This week's sermon highlights Jesus' role as our protector and our provider.
