A message from the series "Mosaic of Grace." This Sunday Pastor Chris will continue to teach us in this section of scripture where Paul has tasked Titus with building and defending the church in Crete. Paul, as you will read, doesn’t hold back. Think about what we can learn from his harsh rebuke for the Cretans. As 21st century Christians, we might find his tone to be offensive. How can we resolve this tension in a biblically faithful way? Please take some time this week to study and pray over this section of scripture, Titus 1:10-16, as you prepare for the message.

A message from the series "Mosaic of Grace." This Sunday, Pastor Dave will unpack the next section of Paul’s letter to his spiritual son, Titus, where we’ll learn about the purposeful design of putting godly leaders in place to lead churches well. Paul gives a list of qualifications elders, “in every town”, should possess. In your study this week, think about what we learn from God’s call and qualifications for elders. As time allows, dig even deeper to uncover what His call is for each one of us.

A message from the series "Mosaic of Grace." What a wonderful message series we have just completed. The book of Ruth, a true story of redeeming love and redemption. Pastor Dave has now decided to take us into a study of the book of Titus. Another short book in the Bible, but power-packed with spiritual truth and instruction. Join us Sunday as Pastor Dave begins this series on the book of Titus, teaching the connection between sound doctrine and godly living. Our focus verses this Sunday are Titus 1:1–4. For full context, please continue reading all three chapters.

A message from the series "Redeeming Love." This week, we return to hear the final message in our book of Ruth series, “Redeeming Love”. Please take time this week to read and meditate over the focus verses, chapter 4:13-22, and then, for full context, read the entire book of Ruth again. As this story unfolds and completes itself, pay attention to how God, in His glory, took Naomi a widow who had lost almost everything decided to return to the Lord which began a great work of God. A work that culminated in the genealogy and revealing of our true kinsman-redeemer Jesus our Lord.

A message from the series "Redeeming Love." This Sunday, we will return to our message series in the book of Ruth, “Redeeming Love”. As we move toward the end of Ruth and Boaz’s story, we will start to see the story of our redeemer unfold. Read chapter 4 to see how Boaz had a plan to redeem Ruth and look for the connections of God’s greater plan to provide for us a Kinsman-Redeemer. Take some time this week to prepare your heart for the message Sunday.

A message from the series "Easter." Happy Easter! He is Risen! In the chorus of the famous hymn “Because He Lives,” we sing, “And life is worth the living - Just because He lives”. Our message Easter Sunday is titled “Because He Lives”. As we will look at the selected scripture in John 14:15-31, Jesus was preparing to be with the Father. You can imagine the emotions of those believers that were with Him. Jesus in His love and care for them and, in turn for us, gave a series of assurances. How comforting it must have been to hear, “I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you”. Join us this Easter Sunday as Pastor Dave will expose the richness of these comforts that came from the heart of Jesus. Our Risen Savior!

A message from the series "Good Friday."

A message from the series "Redeeming Love." This Sunday, Pastor Dave will continue teaching us this compelling love story in Ruth. The message title is “Kinsman Redeemer,” Part 2. Ruth had offered herself to Boaz to be her kinsman redeemer, but, being a man of honor, Boaz knew there was an order of protocol and that another kinsman redeemer was before him. In his wisdom and trust in the Lord, Boaz presented the land of Elimelech and his widow, Ruth, to the closer relative. Naomi and Ruth have given their heart and their life to God in the choices they have made. Join us Sunday as we will see how God blesses them. But the greater message is how God will reveal to us His sovereign plan to bless us with our own Kinsman Redeemer!

A message from the series "Redeeming Love." Our study in the book of Ruth, titled “Redeeming Love,” will move into chapter 3 this week. Please read and meditate over the entirety of this chapter. You will find that the story takes a major theological and prophetic step forward. Naomi, in her wisdom, gives Ruth advice as to why and how she might take the next step in her relationship with Boaz. A step that is steeped in humility as she presents herself a servant to Boaz her kinsmen-redeemer.
