“It’s The End Of The World As We Know It,” a popular song by R.E.M., is one of many songs, movies, and T.V. shows that depict the end of the world. It seems like everyone is obsessed with when the world will end and how that will take place. Jesus told his followers to be ready for his return following his resurrection and accession. Every generation since has claimed that the world has become so corrupt and dark that this must be the time Jesus returns. Yet, the world kept spinning, and here we are 2,000+ years later. So what do we make of all this as believers? In today’s passage, Jesus will give us some great insight on how to prepare for the signs of the end.

Defining Moments
July 2, 2023 • Pastor Scott Kilpatrick • Luke 23:1–25
All moments are not created equal! Some moments are so powerful and so significant that we feel their impact long after they have passed. These defining moments reveal who we truly are, what we truly value, and who we truly worship. Jesus’ trial was a defining moment for everybody involved. In the most important moment of their lives, the religious leaders, Pilate, Herod, and the crowd all had the chance to do the right thing. In their defining moment...they failed completely.
God will use your mess
June 25, 2023 • Pastor Mike Maiolo • Luke 22:54–71
This account of the Apostle Peter’s denial of knowing and being associated with Jesus is important because we all have found ourselves in moments of failure. What are the warning signs in our life of moving far away from Jesus? What are the “markers” to know that we can come back? Does God really love me and forgive me?
What do I do now?
June 18, 2023 • Pastor Mike Maiolo • Luke 22:39–53
Why do I struggle with this? Does being a Christian mean we must suffer? Does loving God mean we won’t suffer? Is there a wrong response to suffering? There are struggles that will hold us back if we allow them, but knowing that Jesus struggled, gives us hope.
