This week we are going to explore two types of healing Jesus brings. One type is right on the surface: a healing from a deathly sickness, and the other is below the surface, yet just as deadly. Here we will see that Jesus enables us as believers to enter every situation of desperation and illness with hope. See you soon. 

This coming Sunday, we will be looking at part 1 of John’s famous narrative of the Samaritan woman. In it, we see four longings that she has, and we find that the person of Christ is able to satisfy all of them. While our life may be very different from hers, we too share the same struggles, and we too need the same living water.

This coming Sunday, we continue our series in the Gospel of John. In our passage we will see the difference between the joyless life and the joyful life. There have been times in my life where I did not have the joy that Christ wanted me to have in my walk. As I look back at that time, I see that I resembled one of the characters in our coming text. Having studied this all week, The Lord has also shown me in John the Baptist how I and you can have a joy filled life, 24/7.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by your responsibilities?  Ever wished for more ability, strength, wisdom, or time?  We will take a break from John’s Gospel to study the story found in Mark 6:30-44. We will put ourselves in the sandals of the disciples to feel what they must have felt. This miracle is not just to feed the people, but to teach the disciples about how to get the job done when your heart is weary and you don’t have enough of what it takes.

Loved Ones, this week we will be looking at a well-known and well-loved encounter our Lord had with Nicodemus. This conversation he had with Nicodemus reveals to us what it really means to be born again. I look forward to being together!

This Sunday, we will look at Jesus in the temple. In this text, Christ will teach what true worship looks like and what it doesn’t. See you soon.

This week, we look at Jesus’s first sign—the turning of water into wine! This sign is very instructive for us. I am looking forward to being together as we look at what this teaches us about Christ!

Many people often mistake the Lament Psalms as a series of depressing, down-in-the-dumps-Psalms that are only meant for those struggling with their faith or struggling with life. But the reality is the Lament Psalms offer a rich depth of theology and trust in a God who is both near and present in all seasons of our lives. This Sunday as we look at Psalm 3, we will see that there is hope and great joy in the victory we receive from God. That in the times we feel pressed on all sides, and also in the times of quiet prayer, the Lord meets us with deliverance. “May Your blessing be on your people” (Psalm 3:8).

This week we are going to look at a model disciple—Nathaniel! John gives us this rare picture of one of the 12 disciples. From him, we hope to learn the importance of studying God’s Word.

This week, we will begin a series entitled Jesus: According to John. We will be looking at John's biographical account of Jesus together. While the other 3 focus on Jesus as a man, John puts the focus on Jesus as God. In every generation, the church has to affirm the deity of Christ—His glory, His grace and His goodness. I'm looking forward to being together to start this series.

We come to our final character in our Defining Moments series: Esther. Her story is filled with defining moments—and following her life will give us some lessons to live by. Lessons on using our circumstances and positions well, dealing with conflict, and how we view success. I'm confident that if we will heed her lessons and learn from her example, we will be an effective leader, just like she was.

One of the great truths of our God is how he redeems every circumstance and every experience in our lives. We can look back years and see how God used past hurts, habits, and hangups for his greater purpose. This Sunday, we will look at Rahab—a gentile prostitute who is a recipient of this very truth. We will see how her willingness to put her faith in God resulted in her coming to know Him, and also, her life being redeemed by Him.

This morning we look at another defining moment. There are times we are summoned to a purpose that overwhelms and paralyzes us. Scripture has its examples, and one that stands out above others is Saul. He remains as one of the most perplexing stories in Scripture, one that confronts all of us and challenges us to rise to another level.

Joshua was an amazing leader for the people of Israel. Under his leadership, God used Joshua to bring the Israelites into the promised land and to expand its territories. But Joshua was not a perfect leader. In Joshua 9, we read of a time when Joshua used his own wisdom and self-reliance to lead in a way that he thought was right, without first consulting the wisdom of God. Contrasting Joshua with Jesus, we see that Jesus gives us the full picture of a perfect leader who serves with humility and seeks the will of the Father.
