WORSHIP
Jesus, for All Time and Eternity. Worship: May 22, 2022
Over forty days Jesus made a lasting impression on those blessed to see him in his resurrected glory. In this Easter season we marvel at the history Jesus made, and the eternally timeless nature of God’s Triumphant Living Son. Blessed by His Spirit today, we already celebrate forever in his presence.
Jesus' New Creation. Worship: May 15, 2022
The momentum of Jesus’ Resurrection victory continues to unfold even now. The Son of the living God has triumphed over all things. A new creation is before us in the resurrection of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, our Lord!
Jesus Our Good Shepherd. Worship: May 8, 2022
Jesus tells us that our Good Father will care for us like a shepherd for his sheep. Jesus makes it even more personal, telling us he is our Good Shepherd. He pledges His abundant and eternal care to you. This changes everything! Risen and victorious Jesus leads us beside quiet waters, he restores the soul.
Jesus Creates a New Day. Worship: May 1, 2022
Jesus, risen and triumphant, begins a new day. He comes to his disciples on the shore of the lake and makes them breakfast. This was just the beginning of Jesus making all things new. In this new and eternal day the angels will cheer and “every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them will say “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, forever and ever!”
The Victory of Jesus. Worship: April 24, 2022
When warriors return from battle they have the scars of battle to help tell the story of how the victory was won. Jesus will have His scars from the crucifixion forever. Even in his resurrected glory he could still show Thomas that His was the same flesh and blood that had been on the cross and then had risen in triumph.
Jesus is Risen! Easter Sunday Worship: April 17, 2022
Christ is risen! Jesus didn’t keep His resurrection a secret. He appeared to Mary, to Peter and the apostles, to His brother James, to more than five hundred people, to the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and lastly to the apostle Paul. Jesus had said that he would rise from the dead. But still, what a surprise and amazing joy when it actually happened. Today we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. We celebrate with those who saw Jesus alive again and wanted to tell everyone that Jesus is risen.
Jesus, Our Triumphant King Arrives, Palm Sunday Worship April 10
The Eternal King comes riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. In this moment it was time to join in the simple innocent parade that celebrated Jesus’ arrival. So many had been touched by His warmth. They had been impressed by the miraculous things He had done. They were ready to call Jesus King. Just five days later Jesus will be crucified. Then, for three days it seemed as if darkness hadh won. Who in Jerusalem could guess that the celebration of the King was just beginning? The eternal triumph would be His!
The Cornerstone of Christ Jesus, April 3rd Worship
Start a puzzle and you want to find the corner pieces. If you are building an archway of stones you would need to find the perfect fitting piece to finish it off. Jesus tells us that he is this essential piece that completes everything. Once we put Jesus in the place of honor and glory everything else goes together because he is “the prize for which God has called us heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Our Reconciling God, March 27 Worship
Some have called it, "The Parable of the Prodigal Son." Others call it, "The Parable of the Waiting Father." It is one of Jesus’ most well known stories. Hearing it you might feel like the son who makes regretful decisions, or you might feel like the father who awaits his son’s return. You could feel like the brother who is resentful of the gracious welcome received when the wayward son returns home. As we listen to Jesus’ story we hear his promise that our God is reconciling all things to himself. In this we hope and rejoice.
God's Way of Mercy, March 20 Worship
Jesus teaches God’s way of mercy. His mercy is lavish and generous. It is also practical and ethical. With His mercy God invites us to see things as He does. Listening to the news or sharing a conversation we pray for God’s mercy to be our way of understanding and being in God’s Spirit.
