Most of us have been through a season of life (or two or three) when we drifted away from our faith. When that happens, the results are usually not good. So how can we keep from drifting?

Join us as we continue our series, “Rooted.”  Scripture Reading: Acts 2:42–47 Share: Know someone who needs this message right now? Send them the link!

Put the Word in until everything in you is under its control.  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.Psalm 91:11It's time to set the record straight. Angels are not kid stuff. They're not little fat babies with long blonde hair and bows and arrows in their hands. Angels are big, strong warriors. They are real. They are powerful. And if you are a believer, they are a vital part of your life.We see examples of what angels can do all through the Bible. For instance, when the children of Israel were fleeing from Egypt with Pharaoh's army hot on their heels, the Bible tells us that suddenly the wheels on the Egyptians' chariots got fouled up. They just quit rolling!Who do you think caused that? The angels, of course!They haven't retired since then either. Angels are at work today just as they've always been.A few years ago in one of Israel's major wars, the enemy had their guns trained on Israeli cities. Those guns were the finest military equipment money could buy. They had a range of at least 20 miles and were equipped with electronic gun sights for accuracy.But something very odd happened. Every time they fired those guns at the Israelis, they either overshot or fell far short of their targets. We know there was nothing wrong with the guns because later the Israelis captured them and fired them back at the enemy with perfect success.What happened? Angels, that's what!My friend, that isn't just a fairy tale. That's a real-life example of the involvement of angels in the lives of God's people today. And, if you're a child of God, you have a right to expect God's angels to do the same kind of things for you.So, start expecting! Say, “Thank You, heavenly Father, for giving Your angels charge over me to keep me in all my ways.” Once you've spoken that word of faith, stand fast. Don't fear. Don't waver. Just be patient and keep believing, and you will surely see the salvation of the Lord.Scripture Reading:Acts 12:1-17

Sometimes in life, we find ourselves standing at a crossroads where we have to choose between what feels good and what's right. And our decisions in those pivotal moments often shape our lives, and the lives of those around us, in profound and lasting ways. So in today's sermon, we'll explore the story of the very first Christians when they found themselves at a major crossroads. And as we study their bold example, we'll consider what's possible for us, and for our church, if we follow in their footsteps. Join us as we begin a new series, “Powerful Prayers.” Scripture Reading: Acts 4:23-31 NIV Share: Know someone who needs this message right now? Send them the link!

Scripture Reading: Acts 20:17-38 The account of Paul's exhortation to the elders of the church at Ephesus is one of the more moving stories in the Bible.  It contains not only the evidence of Paul's love for his Ephesian brothers, but an insight into the ministry of the apostle.  What we have here is a detailed description of what Paul did in serving Christ as well as the manner in which he accomplished his ministry. Two activities of ministry are presented in this passage … instruction and admonition.  There is a central focus on teaching the Word of God (Acts 20:20,27,32), as Paul declares, "I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God." Second, Paul admonished the people in the church in Ephesus (20:31).  This word involves counseling, encouraging, warning, advising.  The manner in which Paul carried out the responsibilities of his office is highly instructive to us.  He discharged the duties of his office with humility (20:19), tears (20:19,31), courage (20:19,20,27), diligence (20:31,34,35), self-sacrifice (20:22-24, 33-35), and seriousness (20:24). This passage is not simply a model for pastoral leadership … it is a model for every form of service in Christ's kingdom, both inside and outside the church … in all our activities, as people who have taken the name of Christ. 

Scripture Reading: Acts 27:13-28:10 Sometimes ship wrecks can be blessings. Jesus Christ is your peace in the midst of storm and trouble. Place your trust in He who overcame the world on the Cross.

Scripture Reading: Acts 5:1-11 True Love leaves no room for exceptions. To be a people who love without exception. Who give without condition. Who lay down their lives, because we know that in Christ, anything less than everything is nothing, and better than the best love song, whatever is sacrificed in love is gain.

Today we celebrate two great figures of the early church, Peter and Paul, who represent the spread of the gospel to both Jews and Gentiles and, according to tradition, were martyred on this date. The witness of Peter and Paul inspires us as we seek ways to faithfully proclaim the gospel in our contemporary context.Scripture Reading: Acts 12:1-11; Galatians 5:1,13-25; John 21:15-19

When we're going through a time of questioning our faith, doubting God, or feeling unworthy, it can sometimes be tough just to attend church, much less to seek out an active role. But in today's sermon, we'll see that from the very beginning, Jesus has been calling unready people into the adventure of being his church. Turns out, putting us to work before we're ready is Jesus' preferred M.O. Join us as we celebrate “Pentecost,” the birthday of the church.

It is possible to hear in Jesus' high priestly prayer, a prayer he offered shortly before his death, the petitions of the ascended Christ for his own throughout history—to our day—and beyond. Jesus prays for us. In holy baptism we become believers in God, have our robes washed in the flood of Christ's forgiveness, and receive the gift of life forever with all the saints.Scripture Reading: Acts 16:16-34; Psalm 97; John 17:20-26

Visions abound in the readings for the sixth Sunday of Easter. Paul has a vision about what to do. John has a vision of what will be. Jesus provides visions of peace that surpasses human understanding and power beyond human imagination.Scripture Reading: Acts 16:9-15; Revelation 21:10, 22—22:5; John 14:23-29

Pastor Dave's Sermon from 5/18/25:  "Church Fights (week 3)" Scripture Reading: Acts 15:1-18

Easter initiates a new day. It anticipates a new heaven and a new earth. The risen Christ is making all things new. In the mystery of holy baptism God has made new people of us. Today Jesus invites us to see everyone in a new light—through the lens of love.Scripture Reading: Acts 11:1-18; Psalm 148; John 13:31-35

Scripture Reading: Acts 15:1-18 True faith restores love.

Pastor Steve's Sermon from 5/11/25:  "Church Fights (week 2)" Scripture Reading: Acts 15:1-18

The gift of new life, of eternal life, is the gift of the risen Christ. It is the promise of Jesus. It was true for Dorcas in Joppa. It was true for those “who have come out of the great ordeal” in the Revelation vision. It is true for us and for all the baptized: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.Scripture Reading: Acts 9:36-43; Revelation 7:9-17; John 10:22-30
