Growing Through Grief and Loss

PODCAST

Jesus himself experienced grief and loss. Through his submission to the Father, he wasn’t led around suffering, but was lead to life through suffering to resurrection.

Scripture: Hebrews 5:7-9

The Humanity of Grief and Loss

PODCAST

In our culture, we tend to suppress uncomfortable feelings like grief and loss.  But the Bible models taking these feelings, and the experiences that cause them, to God so that, through them, God can draw us closer to Him and shape our character to be more like His.

Scripture: Psalm 38:1-6; 142:1-7

The Wilderness

Welcome Rev. David Williams!

This week marks an exciting milestone as we extend a warm welcome to Pastor Dave Williams, who joins us for his inaugural Sunday as our pastor. We’re eager to embark on this journey together, embracing his guidance and wisdom as we navigate this transitional period in our congregation.

PODCAST

The first week after Easter, often referred to as the Easter Octave, is a time of joy and celebration as we commemorate Jesus’ triumph over sin and death through resurrection. Despite this joy, we acknowledge the possibility of facing wilderness experiences, as Jesus did after his baptism. Pastor Dave’s message, “The Wilderness,” explores Jesus’ temptation in Mark 1:12-13. Just as Jesus emerged strengthened, we too can overcome. In Mark 1:35-37, Jesus prioritizes prayer despite demands. Let’s renew our commitment to prayer and trust in God’s provision during the Easter Octave, resisting temptation. Easter assures us that in the wilderness, Christ sustains and guides us, leading us to abundant life.
