All Things Messiah

Many things of this world would like to “pull us off” our spiritual journey. Satan has darts of doubt, distraction, and deception and he is aiming them at our hearts. But be encouraged—Christ has won the battle.

In this summer sermon series starting June 7, we’ll step into these moments together. We’ll walk alongside those who met Jesus face-to-face and see how those encounters reshaped their lives.

May we learn to tune into God’s providence so that when he calls, we can answer; when he speaks, we will know to listen.

Jesus knows exactly who Judas is and what he will do. And still, he washes his feet. I don’t know if I could have done the same.

May the Lord give you the strength you need to summons the courage it takes to keep anxiety and despair at bay.

Pastor Laurie reflects on Rogier van der Weyden's Descent from the Cross — a masterpiece of grief, symbolism, and quiet hope. Sit with the sorrow of the Cross, and hear the greatest note of triumph underneath it all.

In April & May, we will begin a new sermon series exploring one of the oldest and most important summaries of the Christian faith: The Apostles' Creed.

Isaiah 53 — a reflection on how our wounds and brokenness are often the very places where God's light breaks through.

Peter and John don’t know what they will find when they reach their destination, but they go anyway. It is good to remember that the empty tomb is not discovered by those who stand still, but by those willing to move toward the mystery, toward the possibility that God has done something new and unexpected.

This Holy Week, may we meditate on the thirst our Savior endured for us. This painting by Rubens is powerful. It doesn’t just paint the moment Jesus is taken down from the cross—he slows it down, softens it, and lets us feel the weight of it. Every hand, every fold of cloth, every beam of light invites us to consider not just what happened, but what it means to carry Christ even now.

In Ephesians, God says that we are his masterpiece. Isn’t it good to know that something worn down by life is, most certainly, still a masterpiece, like these boots?

Jesus says some things that are confusing and disturbing. However, even if our minds don’t always understand, hopefully our hearts can.

In this season of Lent, may we recognize, and repent of, our stubbornness to heed the plea of a savior who longs for us to come to him.

How three little words have the power to transform marriages, families, businesses, churches, and countries.

During this Lenten season, our sermons will explore the beautiful rhythm of Christian worship: gathered by grace, fed by Christ, and sent to serve.

No matter how much you’ve been torn up, crumpled, or stomped on, you still have value, because the Person who created you is the one who determines your value.

Today is Ash Wednesday—one of my favorite days in the church year. Why? Because for me, it tears down all the pretenses that I’ve got it all together… that I am in control.

Many of us trust Jesus to help a little—but not to change everything. We trust him with problems that feel fixable—but not with the ones we think are finished.

We do not need to measure our lives against others to know who we are. Our identity is not found on the other side of the wall—or screen—but in Jesus.

Asking God for daily bread is also a prayer for a fair and flourishing social order.
