Mess / New Beginnings
Weekend Service for September 27Scripture Readings: Luke 19:1-10Life can become a mess one thing at a time. A house fills with dog hair, grass, toys, and stuff that gets set down, and eventually buckets sit in front of buckets until nothing useful can be reached. Finances, relationships,...
-
Stuck / New Beginnings
Weekend Service for September 20Scripture Readings: Mark 2:1-12Mark 2 puts a paralyzed man right in the middle of what it means to be stuck. The text does not explain how he became paralyzed, and that matters, because people can be stuck for all kinds of reasons. The past, other people’s choices,...
-
Failure / New Beginnings
Weekend Service for September 13Scripture Readings: John 21:15-19John begins this new beginning with Peter, a brash and bold disciple who speaks fast, loves big, and believes he can stand when pressure comes. Peter shows that the people who encountered Jesus were not distant Bible characters in...
-
So, What's the Point?
Weekend Service for September 6Scripture Readings: 2 Timothy 3:16-17The brownie mix shows why separate Bible verses cannot simply be swallowed one at a time and expected to produce a faithful life. Scripture needs to be read as a whole, with the ingredients together and the heat on, because God…

The King Who Gave His Life / Here Comes the King
Weekend Service for August 23Scripture Readings: Mark 14-15Mark 14 and 15 bring the question back again: who is Jesus, and what is going to be done with him? The cross was not the tragic ending of Jesus’ life. The cross was the place Jesus willingly chose, the highest price paid for humanity’s…
more -
The King Has Come / Here Comes the King
Weekend Service for August 16Scripture Readings: Mark 11-13Mark keeps asking the same question: who is Jesus, and what will be done with that knowledge? Mark 11 through 13 gives the answer with real weight. Jesus is truly the king, but he is not the king the crowd thought it was getting. The…

The Way of the Cross / Here Comes the King
Weekend Service for August 9Scripture Readings: Mark 8:31–10:52Mark moves Jesus and his disciples toward Jerusalem, and Jesus gets really intentional with them. Jesus is clearly the Messiah, but he is not the kind of Messiah they had already figured out in their heads. Jesus tells them plainly…

From the Outside In / Here Comes the King
Weekend Service for July 26Scripture Readings: Mark 7:1–8:30Mark keeps meandering with purpose through chapter seven and into chapter eight, and the big question stays the same: who is Jesus, and what is a person gonna do in response to him? Jesus does not come to wipe out bad people and try the...
-
Sent / Here Comes the King
Weekend Service for July 26 Scripture Readings: Mark 6 Mark six turns a corner in the life of Jesus. Jesus has been showing and showing and showing that he has power and authority beyond what the disciples can understand. Right when they think they have seen the biggest thing, he does something...
-
Faith Over Fear / Here Comes the King
Weekend Service for July 19Scripture Readings: Mark 4:35 - 5:43Mark puts four impossible situations side by side: a storm no fishermen could control, a demon no town could tame, a disease no doctor could fix, and a death no human being could reverse. The thread running through all of them says...
-
Hearing Then Following / Here Comes the King
Weekend Service for July 12Scripture Readings: Mark 3:7 - 4:34Mark places Jesus in the middle of growing crowds, but the crowds are not all the same. Some people come because sickness has made them desperate. Some people come because miracles are interesting. Some people come because Jesus has...
-
Authority Like No Other / Here Comes the King
Weekend Service for July 5Scripture Readings: Mark 1:21-3:6Mark brings Jesus into Capernaum without fanfare, without gold chains, without a big white robe, without Jesus filling out a “hello my name is” badge. Jesus shows who he is by showing up, doing what only he can do, and building…
more -
The King Arrives / Here Comes the King
Weekend Service for June 28Scripture Readings: Mark 1:1-20Mark opens by sprinting into the story of Jesus. The gospel does not pause for genealogies or a Christmas pageant. It throws the spotlight on the Messiah’s public work, the way Peter would remember it, quick and vivid, packed with...
-
Clark, Bruce or Peter
Weekend Service for June 21Scripture Readings: Hebrews 12:7-11 / 1 Thessalonians 2:11-12The contrast between caped heroics and faithful fathering sets the frame. Clark, Bruce, and Peter all point to the same thing: under the suit are ordinary people. Ordinary is where fatherhood lives. The flash…
more -
The Third Generation / From Diapers to Diapers
Weekend Service for June 14Scripture Readings: 2 Timothy 2:1-14Passover sets the tone by tying salvation to a family’s story and command: obey as a lasting ordinance for descendants, and when children ask, “What does this mean to you?” answer with lived meaning, not bare definition. The question...

Weekend Service for June 7Scripture Readings: Genesis 2:24 / Luke 15:20-24 / Exodus 18:17-23Parenting names the long road from diapers to diapers and insists the road starts with the parent. The calling looks inward first, asking whether the parent is becoming the kind of person who can lead...
-
Holding On While Letting Go / From Diapers to Diapers
Weekend Service for May 31Scripture Readings: Luke 2:41-52The goal of parenting adolescents is not to control but to cultivate wisdom, character, and connection that last. The call is holding on while letting go. Early on, protection makes sense. The oven is a bad place for a toddler. But...

Roots Before Wings / From Diapers to Diapers
Weekend Service for May 24Scripture Readings: Deuteronomy 6:4-9 / Psalm 127:3 / Colossians 3:20-21Roots before wings insists that infancy and early childhood are for building roots before anyone tries to give wings. Deuteronomy 6 presses the point by calling parents to commit to God’s commands…

The Walls We Naturally Build / Uncomfortable: Breaking Walls
Weekend Service for March 1 Scripture Readings: James 2 James chapter two confronts the church’s tendency to build invisible walls of preference and exclusion. A simple grocery-store lunch and tent-camping contrasts show how comfortable shelters and familiar circles encourage hiding behind rules...

Becoming Me / Becoming

Formed by What You Practice / Becoming

A Surprising Plan / The Unexpected King

A Holy People in a Broken World / The Real Church
Weekend Service for November 9Scripture Readings: 1 Peter 2:9-12In a world that feels increasingly divided and chaotic, it’s easy to let the spirit of competition, comparison, and conflict seep into our lives—even into our churches. But God calls us to something radically different. Rather than...

United in One Body / The Real Church

More Than A Building / The Real Church
Weekend Service for October 19Scripture Readings: Acts 2:42-47The early church, as described in Acts 2:42-47, was not about buildings, business models, or perfecting a formula for faith. Instead, it was a living, breathing community of people devoted to Jesus, to Scripture, to prayer, and to one...
