Purrs, Squawks, and Snarls

May 5, 2024 • Rev. Melissa Madara • Genesis 7:1–10

Perhaps the most beloved children’s Bible story of all time, the story of Noah’s floating zoo has been immortalized on the walls of baby nurseries and preschool classrooms by the millions. Yet this story, never originally intended for kids, provides space for us to wrestle with some of life’s most sobering truths.

Joseph & the Coat of Many Colors

May 26, 2024 • Pastor Rob Kazinski • Genesis 37:1–11

If you’ve seen the movie or the Broadway show you may have an image in mind of Joseph and his coat. But Joseph’s story is deeper than just a young, arrogant, dreamer with a fancy robe. The story of Joseph tells how one man can shape the future of an entire nation. We conclude our series focusing on the character of Joseph, Jacob’s son, and his colorful life.

Formed by Fire

May 19, 2024 • Pastor Rob Kazinski • Daniel 3:13–28

Pentecost Sunday is the day we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit to begin the mission of the church in Jesus Christ’s name. Traditionally, the images of fire and wind are seen in this day. Fire is also an image that appears in the story of the devoted believers who were thrown into a furnace for their belief in God. We’ll explore the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abendego who were among the first followers formed by fire.

Daniel - The Practice of Prayer

May 12, 2024 • Pastor Rob Kazinski • Daniel 6:13–23

Daniel was a prophet during the Babylonian exile. He’s someone who had visions about the future kingdom where God will reign, and his people would be restored. Among the most famous stories about Daniel was how he was thrown into the lions’ den for praying. We’ll draw inspiration for a big faith from this visionary.
