Sunday, August 23: Trials and Temptations

Join us to worship the Lord this Sunday, August 23, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Pastor Brett Spalding’s sermon topic is “Trials and Temptations.” Our scriptures include Luke 11:1-4, James 1:2-15, and Matthew 3:13 – 4:11.

Synopsis: Immediately following the joy and confirmation of Jesus’ baptism, immediately after hearing God the Father say; “This is My Son, whom I love, with Him I am well pleased,” Jesus is led into the desert, by the Holy Spirit, to face trials and to be tempted by the devil. We face these same trials and temptations in our life every day and the Bible is clear about their source and what we must to prepare for and respond to these attacks.

Worship on Sunday, August 16, 2026: By Faith, We Work

Join us to worship the Lord this Sunday, August 16, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Pastor Brett Spalding’s topic is “By Faith, We Work.” Our scriptures include Hebrews 11:8-13, Genesis 22:1-12, and James 2:14-26.

Synopsis: Martin Luther was not a fan of the Book of James; he even went as far as to call it an “Epistle of Straw.” Luther felt James’ Epistle (Letter) was at odds with Paul’s writings of “justification by faith”. I have great respect for Luther’s writings and teachings on scripture, but I think he missed the point in this writing on James. One must agree that one is not saved by their works, “justification by works.” After all, belief (faith) in Jesus Christ is required for salvation. The point James was trying to make is that faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior would lead to works. We’ll explore many of these thoughts and questions this coming Sunday.

Join us to worship the Lord this Sunday, August 9, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Pastor Brett Spalding’s topic is “Trust versus Worry.” Our scriptures include Philippians 4:4-9, Jeremiah 17:5-9, and Matthew 6:25-34.

Synopsis: Jesus, in our scripture passage from Matthew, tells us not to worry about our daily needs and not to worry about tomorrow. Paul in his letter to the Philippians tells us not to be anxious about anything. As we read this passage and others in the Bible concerning this topic; we must ask, how should we respond to situations in our life that too often cause stress? We will explore that question this Sunday.

August 2, 2026 Worship: Sermon on the Mount: The Narrow Gate

Join us to worship the Lord this Sunday, August 2, 2026 at 10 am. Pastor Brett Spalding’s topic is “Sermon on the Mount: The Narrow Gate.” Our scriptures include John 14:1-7, 2 Timothy 4:1-8, and Matthew 7:13-23.

Our passage today talks about how we get into the only place that really matters in life: heaven. Jesus warns us about wide paths that lead to destruction and false prophets; reminding us of the narrow gate and narrow path that leads us to heaven. We can try to sneak in, we can try to cut corners thinking that everything will be okay; but Jesus makes it very clear, there is no sneaking in, there is no easy way. There is only one way, there is only one choice and that is the narrow gate of confession in Jesus Christ, repenting and following His Word.
