The 'Why' of Worship - Christ Centered - Colossians 3:16-17
According to James Empereur, ​​"The topic of worship is not only timely, it is urgent. There is a widespread sense among Christians in North America that all is not well with the church, that we need a new sense of direction, a new dynamism. In particular, we need something that will capture the imagination and enthusiasm of young adults. The institutional loyalty that many older Christians grew up with is no longer evident among young people. Many of them are walking away from the church, not necessarily because they are hostile to religion, not because they object to the teaching or standards of the church, but because they just don't sense any particular value in participating in the Christian community. They see it as an option for those who want it, but certainly not a necessity for their own lives. There is a growing sense that we need a revitalization of church life, something to convey the excitement that being a Christian involves. What we need is a new understanding of worship."
Pastor Evan begins a series examining why we worship and inviting us to begin a new understanding of worship that centers on Christ and cultivates excitement and imagination in our contexts.

Paul writes about his own maturity into deeper meaning and deeper care for those outside of himself. In the Christian life we will discover God, seek God, serve God again and again, we will face walls and crises and challenges, but through it all we discover an invitation of life, by the power of the Spirit, that reflects the way of love. This love shows itself in how we live and what we do. Th...
Stages of Faith - The Wall - Mark 5:24b-34

Our faith will face challenges. There will be days when God seems absent or silent. When the ways we practice our faith don’t seem to work. When the stress seems too great. When we numb out everything with business or distraction so we don’t have to deal with the things that scare us. What do we do when we face what some call the wall? Pastor Evan explores the stories of Jairus and the woman bl...

    Praise God for the message this morning (6/30/2024) from minor prophet Jonah in the Old Testament. Even when the people of Ninevah repented of their sins and turned to God, Jonah resented them. As the children learned at our Daily Vacation Bible School, GOD IS LOVE, and that love is for everyone. Our church building was a sanctuary for all the children this week. Thank you, God.

    Thank you for this! 😊 I watched this the other day and then I ended up reading Hosea for a bible study that was being done in the church and this passage, especially the last verse, stood out to me and reminded me of what Sheila said. "“And in that day, declares the Lord, you will call me ‘My Husband,’ and no longer will you call me ‘My Baal.’ For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and they shall be remembered by name no more. And I will make for them a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the creeping things of the ground. And I will abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land, and I will make you lie down in safety. And I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy. I will betroth you to me in faithfulness. And you shall know the Lord." ♥
