Message by Pastor Mark. When we become a Christian and receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we gain eternal life and The Holy Spirit who directs our path along the Way as we follow Jesus. But that means we give up our own way. That doesn’t mean we lose our uniqueness. But it does […]
Message by Pastor Mark. What do you call our gathering at the Lord’s Table? Scripture makes minority references like: “Love Feast”, “The Lord’s Table” and “The Breaking of the Bread”. But The Church has landed on three main names for our celebration at the table. As we partake in this celebration together we will discover […]
Message by Pastor Cam. As 2020 comes to a close, our need to seek the King does not. With the world around us swirling about it can be difficult to keep your mind set on what’s most important. Join us this Sunday as we take a look at the “Wise Men” and what they can […]
Message by Pastor Mark. Shepherds were not on the top rung of the social ladder in Jesus’ Day. In fact, they were pretty much at the bottom of the heap. So, why does God choose to announce the birth of His Son to them ahead of all others? Could it be that in the Birth […]
Message by Pastor Mark. Joseph pursued Mary to be his wife. God pursued Mary to be His servant. Joseph pursued his own understanding of the situation. God pursued Joseph with His Spiritual Truth. Joseph accepted God’s truth and pursued God’s truth in obedience. God pursues us in Jesus. Jesus is the physical manifestation of God’s […]
Christmas is a glorious time of celebration. We remember the birth of our savior and we celebrate family and the practice of gift-giving. But sometimes our plans change. Sometimes things happen like a pandemic that changes everything. But sometimes God’s will changes everything and we lose sight of the glory of Christmas under the weight […]
Message by Pastor Mark. Have you ever really stopped and pondered what it would be like to actually be in the Christmas Story? You know, actually, step into the shoes of the very characters we’ve come to know and love who make up the story of Christmas. If you really take a moment, close your […]
Message by Pastor Mark. We have asked God to search us, shape us, and break us. This sermon shows the importance of asking God to send us. Being available to what God has for you is so important. Isaiah 6:1-8
Message by Pastor Cam. The Christian life is radically self-refusing and radically Christ-exalting. This is the hardest and most rewarding part of the Christian life. “God, Break me,” is a prayer that many will not want to pray, but when prayed, God will answer it in a way that you cannot deny. Matthew 16:24-27
Message by Pastor Cam. When we pray, “Search me,” we are asking God to take a deep look into our hearts and reveal any dirt. But after we see the sin in our lives what do we do? Where do we turn when our deepest sins are umasked in front of us? To be a […]
Message by Pastor Mark. Is the goal of the Christian life safety? Well, eternal safety, for sure. But what about our life here on earth. Is God’s goal for us as Christians to keep us safe from all danger? If you listened to our prayers you might think that’s the only goal. Maybe we should […]
Sometime our anger is righteous anger. And sometimes our response to that righteous anger is also a righteous response. Moses had good reason to be angry with the Nation of Israel when they decided to worship a golden calf instead of their Holy God. He also responded to their sin with a consequence that fit […]
J.P. Sundararajan (The RCA’s director for Global Mission) preaches from his least favorite passage of scripture in the whole Bible. Yet, this scripture is integral to his story.

Message by Pastor Mark. King David, “burned with anger” when the priest Nathan came to him and shared with him the details of a civil suit with which he was struggling. A rich man takes a poor man’s only lamb and serves it up as dinner for a traveler who stops by his home one […]
Message by Pastor Mark. Uzziah was one of the Good Kings in Judah. He reigned in Jerusalem for 52 years. But something happened that turned a good King bad. That something was anger and an unrepentant spirit. But the anger was an outflow of other sins that crept into his life over time. Let’s learn […]
Message by Pastor Mark. In your anger, it is easy to shut the door on God and not trust that God has a plan for it and is constantly pursuing you in and with His love. In the story of Cain murdering his brother, Abel, we see God’s amazing love in the midst of Cain’s […]
Message by Pastor Mark. In Jonah Chapter 4:3, Jonah says, “Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live” (because he is so angry). What’s surprising, Jonah’s anger is directed at God because He is so Gracious. What???? Jonah wants to die because God is too gracious???? Yep! […]
