Everyday we are faced with basically two decisions: we can go this way or we can go that way. We can do this or we can do that — even not choosing is a choice. I want to bring you back to the Holy Saturday. The morning after Jesus’ death. What were the disciples’ first response? What about the women who followed Jesus? Did they get to work remembering why Jesus came to die or where they left wondering? We know Jesus’ resurrecting power but do we take that gift and, by God’s grace, multiply it or have we been doing something else with it lately? Join me this weekend as we dig deeper into the moments after Jesus' death, the two choices his followers had, and how we can learn from Jesus’ teachings about the choices we can make today.
You Have Been Given a Gift

You Say Goodbye and I Say Hello
May 16, 2021 • Peter Mueller
Saying goodbye to a good friend can be difficult - as Jesus said goodbye to his first disciples before His ascension, He also promised them He would send the Holy Spirit to empower them to tell the story of Jesus and His love to people all over the world. Since then, the Holy Spirit still fills His power and we follow Jesus and invite others into His kingdom. Today's Service starts at 18:30 into the video (the first part is pre-service announcement slides)
The Renewal of All Things
May 9, 2021 • Peter Mueller
When Jesus rose from the dead, it was the beginning of what He will complete when He returns: the renewal of all creation. As His adopted sons and daughters, we are called to join Him in that work of bringing renewal and restoration to the people and things of this world even now. On this Mother’s Day weekend, we want to recognize and celebrate the important and unique contributions that moms bring to this life-changing work!
United with Christ in His Death and Resurrection
May 2, 2021 • Peter Mueller
In baptism and faith, followers of Jesus are deeply connected, even united, with Jesus in His death and His resurrection. Jesus died to put our sinful nature to death, and Jesus rose that we might live a new life as new creations in Him! Despite the pull of our old ways of living, Jesus is inviting us to receive the gift of being “dead to sin and alive to God” in Him.
