A message from the series "Redeeming Love." As we continue, on Sunday, with our message series, “Redeeming Love”, we will move forward in Chapter 1 of Ruth verses 6-22. As in our own lives, Naomi, Ruth, and Orpah were faced with life-impacting decisions. Naomi who had lost her husband and her sons made the decision to return home to Bethlehem. The even greater decision was upon Ruth, the Moabite daughter-in-law, to follow Naomi and God. As the story unfolds, we will see that God is up to something in Ruth’s life and how in a beautiful way, Naomi has a maturing relationship with Him.

A message from the series "Redeeming Love." On Sunday, Pastor Dave gave an overview of our new sermon series, Redeeming Love, from the Book of Ruth. He helped us place the story, noting it is in a dark season of Israel’s history when “everyone did what was right in his own eyes” (Judges 21:25b). He challenged us to consider how the Lord is at work even in times when it doesn’t seem clear. He also assured us that before time began, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit planned the story of Redemption. As we see the story unfold through the lens of Naomi, Pastor Dave encourages us to remember that in view of the bigger picture, the Lord is the main character. Everything from Genesis 3 to Revelation 22 is the redemptive story pointing to Christ, our great Redeemer.

A message from the series "Redeeming Love." On Sunday, we will begin a new message series, “Redeeming Love”, from the Book of Ruth. This book in the Bible is one of only two named after a woman. In it, we are presented with a wonderful story of loyalty, redemption, and the sovereign purposes of God. Join us Sunday as we begin our study in Ruth, learning how God uses faithful people to turn despair into hope.

A message from the series "Shepherds Heart." This Sunday, Pastor Dave will preach the last message of the series, “Reflection of a Shephard’s Heart”. Please read the selected scripture, John 17, slowly and reverently. In this prayer, we are allowed to be audience to the most intimate conversation Jesus has with the Father. A prayer that gives us a glimpse into the heart of Jesus and His desire for those that were given to Him by the Father. Pray thanks as you meditate that we have such a loving Father in heaven.

A message from the series "Shepherds Heart." On Sunday, we will hear a message teaching us on the generosity of forgiveness. The scripture text of our focus is Matthew 18:21-35, “The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant”. In these verses, we are taught that genuine forgiveness, from the heart, is required of all who have been forgiven. Please take some quiet time this week reading and praying over this section of scripture examining your own heart and its condition of forgiveness.

A message from the series "Shepherds Heart." This Sunday, Pastor Dave will give a sermon on “The Grace of Generosity”. In 2 Corinthians, Paul uses the example of the grace of faithful giving by the afflicted and impoverished churches of Macedonia. They “gave themselves first to the Lord” then joyful and proportionate giving followed. When you study, realize that giving can come from multiple aspects of our lives and not just from our treasures, it is a work of God’s grace in us. Oh, how generosity of the heart will bring joy to the soul. Take some time this week to pray and study what God, through His grace, wants your giving heart to look like.

A message from the series "Shepherds Heart." Sunday, along with the excitement of rejoicing with transformational baptisms, we will continue in 1 Samuel 3, as Pastor Dave shares his heart. This will be part two of “Speak, for Your Servants Listen”. What is one of the goals to listening with a more attentive ear to God? The answer was said in the message last Sunday: "to shrink the gap from the person that I actually am to the person that God wants me to be”. Read again the selected scripture in 1 Samuel 3:1-18, where God prepared Samuel to listen. Pastor Dave's message will focus on preparing our hearts to listen and obey.

A message from the series "Shepherds Heart." As we enter the New Year of 2026, we pray for God’s blessing, and that He will speak into each of our lives in a mighty way. This 1st New Year Sunday, Pastor Dave will begin a series called “Reflections of a Shepherds Heart”. We will look at verses in 1 Samuel 3:1-18, where Samuel at a young age was spoken to and called by God. What Samuel was told from the lips of God was weighty for anyone to hear especially Samuel in his innocence. But God knew Samuel’s humble and mature heart. Observe how Samuel was obedient to God’s will and plan.

A message from the series "Heaven and Nature Sing." This first Sunday after Christmas, we will be celebrating the gift of Jesus “Immanuel”. The next hymn in our series is “O Come All Ye Faithful”. The scripture we would like for you to read and pray over is Luke 2:15-20. In the verses preceding, God had sent angels to shepherds in the field to be the first to know that “a Savior who is Christ the Lord” had been born. Christ Jesus had come for us. We are called to come as the faithful, not because we are faithful in and of ourselves, but because Christ - the Faithful One - has come for us. Our adoration of Him infuses us with faithfulness, which in turn brings joy and triumph to our lives.

A message from the series "Heaven and Nature Sing." On Sunday we will continue with our Christmas message series “Heaven and Nature Sing”. Our hymn of focus will be the familiar and celebratory Christmas carol “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!”, the lyrics of which were originally written in 1739. Our scripture will be Malachi 4:1-6. These prophetic words recorded in scripture began a waiting period of more than 400 years for God to make his next move. Prepare for the message celebrating the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in song and scripture.
