"From Law to Life” (Galatians 4:21-31)Have you ever found yourself stuck in “performance mode” with God—feeling like you have to earn His love, prove your worth, or live by a spiritual checklist? You're not alone. The Apostle Paul wrote to believers in Galatia who were wrestling with the same trap: a return to law-based living instead of walking in the freedom of grace.This Sunday, we'll dive into a powerful and surprising passage from Galatians 4, where Paul contrasts two very different ways of life—one rooted in self-effort and slavery, and the other in miraculous promise and freedom. Using the story of Abraham's two sons, Ishmael and Isaac, Paul helps us see the danger of religious legalism and the beauty of God's grace.Come and hear why life with Jesus isn't about trying harder—it's about trusting deeper. Let's discover together what it means to stop living like spiritual slaves and start living as children of the promise.Need Prayer?

"Labor of Love” (Galatians 4:12-20)In this heartfelt message from Galatians 4:12–20, Pastor Daniel unpacks the Apostle Paul's deep, almost parental love for the Galatian believers—likening his concern to the agony of laboring for them all over again. Paul urges them to return to the freedom and consistency they first saw in his life, and to reject the burdens of legalism. This message explores how a believer can live with spiritual consistency and freedom, how truth-telling sometimes wounds before it heals, and how gospel ministry often flows through weakness, not strength.Whether you're a mom, a student, or someone wrestling with spiritual performance, this message is a reminder: you are no longer a slave—but a beloved child of God.Need Prayer?

"From the Cradle to the Throne” (Galatians 4:1-11)Before Christ, we lived like spiritual orphans—slaves to the law, trapped by the world's systems, stuck in a "cause-and-effect" mindset. But in Christ, we're no longer slaves. We're sons and daughters of the King. In this message, we explore Paul's vivid imagery of a young heir under guardianship and discover the breathtaking truth of our adoption into God's family. We don't just receive forgiveness—we are given full belonging, full intimacy, and a full inheritance. Through Jesus, we cry out “Abba, Father” with boldness and confidence, living not for approval, but from the approval of the One who has already called us His own. It's time to leave behind the ABCs of spiritual preschool and step into the wonder of grace.Need Prayer?

“The Gospel According to Eden” (Easter Sunday)While humanity's story begins in a garden marked by brokenness and separation from God through sin, Easter is the declaration that our story doesn't have to end there—because of Jesus, the Savior who came searching for us, we are offered restoration, hope, and eternal life. God's posture toward us, even in our failure, is not condemnation but love and pursuit, inviting us to return to Him and experience the fullness of life we were originally created for. Join as we dive into Genesis chapter 1 to see how it tells the Easter Story. Need Prayer?

"The Disappointment of Kings" – A Palm Sunday MessageAs Jesus rides into Jerusalem to shouts of “Hosanna!”, the crowd is filled with hope that their new king has come to overthrow Rome and restore Israel's glory. But what happens when the King they get isn't the kind they expected? In this Palm Sunday message, we explore how Jesus redefines kingship—not through military power or political force, but through humility, sacrifice, and victory over death itself. If you've ever felt let down by the leaders of this world—or by the false kings we chase in our own lives—this message is for you. Let your heart cry Hosanna again, and discover the King who truly saves.Need Prayer?

"What Are You Wearing?" (Galatians 3:23-29)In this message from Galatians 3:26-29, we explore what it means to be children of God through faith in Christ.

What does this identity mean for our daily lives?How does it shape the way we see ourselves and others? Join us as we dive into the freedom and belonging found in Jesus.Need Prayer?

“I've got good news, and I've got bad news.” (Galatians 3:10-22) In this message, we explore Galatians 3:10-14 and the incredible truth that Jesus took our place, freeing us from the curse of the law. No amount of effort can save us—only faith in Christ. Through His sacrifice, we receive the blessing of Abraham and the gift of the Spirit.

"Father Abraham" (Galatians 3:6-9)This Sunday, we'll be diving into a powerful story from Genesis 15 where God makes a promise to Abraham that would change the course of history. In this passage, we witness God's unconditional grace—something that Abraham could never earn but could only receive. Have you ever felt like you had to earn God's love or approval? Join us as we explore the truth that God's promises are not based on our ability to measure up, but on His faithfulness. We'll also look at how trusting God's grace can transform not only our relationship with Him but how we live out our faith. “Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.” —Genesis 15:6Need Prayer?

"Foolish Faith" (Galatians 3:1-5)What if the way to true freedom and peace isn't through striving or self-reliance, but through something that seems, to the world, completely foolish? We'll also look at an unexpected story—the Trojan horse—and how it might just help us understand the surprising power of God's grace in our lives. This isn't the kind of faith that makes sense at first glance, but it's the kind of faith that changes everything once we see it for what it truly is.This Sunday we explore the incredible freedom that comes from understanding grace—not as something we need to prove ourselves worthy of, but as something God freely offers. It's not about what we can do, but about what He has already done for us. This powerful truth changes the way we think, live, and relate to others.Need Prayer?

Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try, it's never enough? That the pressure to prove yourself—to God, to others, even to yourself—is overwhelming? You're not alone.Today we're diving into a truth that can set you free. It's not about working harder, being better, or trying to earn something that's already been given. It's about discovering a kind of rest and confidence that doesn't come from what you do, but from something far greater.Today we explore what Jesus has to say about where real security, peace, and purpose are found.Need Prayer?

Discover what it means to live a life that's not just about avoiding wrongdoing, but about pursuing love with intentionality, wisdom, and purpose.

The Kingdom of God ~ Forgiveness (Matthew 6:14-15)We return to the Sermon on the Mount as we study 'The Kingdom of God.' The last time we studied this passage together we studied 'The Lord's Prayer.' In the prayer itself, there is a prayer for forgiveness."And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." ~ Matthew 6:12 NIVImmediately after the Lord's Prayer, Jesus speaks on forgiveness again. That's no surprise to us. If there's one area of the Christian life that proves to be challenging for us no matter how long we've been following Him, it's forgiveness. We'll look at what else Jesus has to say in addition to the Lord's Prayer as well as other Scriptures that will help us unpack this difficult yet life-giving spiritual discipline. Need Prayer?

THIS or THAT ~ Conflict in Relationships (Mathew 5:38-42)Conflict in relationships is something we all face, whether with friends, family, or even our enemies. But how we respond to these conflicts can either fuel the fire or bring about peace. This week, we'll explore Jesus' radical teachings on handling conflict, where He calls us to a higher standard—not to retaliate, but to respond with grace, creativity, and generosity. Imagine what our world would look like if we all chose to turn the other cheek, give more than what's demanded, and go the extra mile.In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus challenges us to rethink our approach to those who wrong us. Instead of getting even, He urges us to respond in ways that uphold our dignity and reflect God's love. Whether it's turning the other cheek, offering our coat along with our shirt, or carrying a burden further than required, Jesus' teachings invite us into a way of life that transforms conflict into opportunities for reconciliation and healing.Need Prayer?

One of our goals this year is to have a few of our former pastors preach for us while we celebrate our 135th anniversary. Pastor David now serves as a hospice chaplain in Lane County and has served the local church in so many capacities over the years. He will be speaking from the Lord's Prayer when he joins us in a few weeks.Need Prayer?

In today's message, we will deepen our understanding of Our Identification in Christ through three powerful images. We will explore Jesus' powerful call for us to be the salt of the earth, the light of the world, and a city on a hill, as found in Matthew 5:13-16. We'll examine how being the "salt of the earth" means preserving goodness and enhancing the lives around us. We'll discuss the significance of being the "light of the world," illuminating the darkness and guiding others to God's truth. Lastly, we'll look at what it means to be a "city on a hill," living visibly and influentially for Christ. Together, we'll discover practical ways to embody these images and make a profound impact for God's kingdom.Need Prayer?

Today: Living Fearlessly - A Conclusion to the BeatitudesThis year, our church will go verse-by-verse through the Sermon on the Mount found in Matthew chapters 5 through 7. It is the longest recorded sermon from Jesus in the Gospels. Jesus' sermon begins with the nine 'Beatitudes.' The Beatitudes are the descriptions of certain traits or situations that describe those who are following the way of Jesus.Need Prayer?
