Preaching from Luke 5:1-11, pastor Andy Lucas shares, that the holiness of God does not push us away and call us unworthy, but rather the holiness of God pulls us in and invites us despite our brokenness. It purifies us as an infectious agent of love and goodness and sends us out into a world sorely needing a glimpse of the divine.
Preaching from from Luke chapter 4, Pastor Andy Lucas challenges: May we learn to follow Christ into the radical love he embodied. May we not domesticate Christ to our own agenda (political or otherwise). May we not commandeer Christ as the mascot of our platform of power. May we faithfully follow Christ in the radical, heart-changing, world-changing, way of love.
Preaching from Luke 2:22-40, Pastor Grace Easton tells the story of Simeon and Anna. Both prophets proclaiming the arrival of Messiah. May all God's people look to Christ and proclaim his good news to all.

In a moment in history when we seem to be more connected than ever through the internet, we are in danger of missing out on the true benefits of relationship. Guest speaker, Rev.

Preaching from Matthew 2:1-12, Pastor Andy Lucas helps show how the visit of the Magi to the baby Jesus is good news in so many ways! He is the light for all the world, not just a select people.
The good news for us in this week after Christmas is that, like Mary and Joseph, our search has ended. Jesus shows us the way to God. The scary part, perhaps, is that our search doesn’t end where we may expect. Preaching from Luke 2:41-52 Pastor Daniel Pape helps us to find the Jesus we thought we had lost.
The most significant change in our world takes place through small significant moments. Pastor Andy Lucas shows us that as we give of our time, talent, and resource to others, and love all with Christ's love, we will see God's Kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven.
God's greatest give to us is his presence. He is a giver and if we are to reflect his image in the world, we also are to develop the habit of generosity.
As we look for ways to make this Advent season meaningful, we are best served to keep things simple and build time, space, and margin into our routines for worship.
