Worship on Sunday, May 10: The Evangelist

Worship the Lord with us on Sunday, May 10, 2026. Pastor Brett Spalding’s topic is “The Evangelist.” Our scriptures include Isaiah 55:1-8, John 4:1-26, and John 4:27-42.

Synopsis: A while back we explored Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus, a prominent and powerful Jewish leader. One might think of him as being an expert in God’s work. Today we are looking at the exact opposite, a Samaritan woman, who could best be described as an outcast among outcasts. Her own people want nothing to do with her; she must draw water in the heat of the day. Despite all this, she is the one Jesus first person that Jesus chooses to reveal His true identity to. This Mother’s Day, we will look at this unlikely evangelist.

Worship on Sunday, April 26: What About Healing?

Synopsis: Our two passages today involve healing. One shows a man with many friends and a great deal of faith in Jesus. The other passage shows a man alone and without any faith in Jesus. Both are healed. In one passage, it is clear the man wants to be healed, in the other, Jesus must ask. We’ll explore both these passages and see what God wants to teach us.

Worship on April 19, 2026: Do You Know Jesus?

Worship the Lord with us on Sunday, April 19, 2026 at 10 a.m. Pastor Brett’s topic is “Do You Know Jesus?” Our scriptures include Isaiah 53:1-7, Luke 24:13-27, and Luke 24:28-35.

Synopsis: I remember studying this passage several years ago and one of the commentators asked the question, “Do you know Jesus?” He framed the question in the context of the disciples. They seemed to know a lot about Jesus but didn’t really know Him. This question led me to look at my faith in Jesus very differently. This also changed the way I teach and hopefully preach. Today we’ll look at what Jesus wanted the disciples to live out in their life and not just know.

Sunday, April 12: Faith in the Midst of Doubt

Worship the Lord with us on Sunday, April 12, 2026 at 10 a.m. Pastor Brett’s topic is “Faith in the Midst of Doubt.” Our scriptures include Psalm 16:1-6, 1 Peter 1:3-9, and John 20:19-31.

Synopsis: It is Sunday evening and Jesus’ disciples are gathered in the upper room behind locked doors for fear of the Jews. They are scared; they’ve watched from a distance as Jesus was crucified and they know that it will only be a matter of time before they suffer a similar fate. Fear and uncertainty have gripped them. They are experiencing terrible grief over Jesus’ death and I’m sure all of them feel bad at how they left Jesus abandoned. Peter must have been feeling especially bad as he verbally denied knowing Jesus three times.

Palm Sunday, March 29, 2026 – Following Jesus: The Easiest and Hardest Thing in the World

Worship with us this Palm Sunday, March 29, at 10:00 am. Pastor Brett Spalding’s topic is “Following Jesus: The Easiest and Hardest Thing in the World.” Our scriptures include Zechariah 9:9-10, Psalm 118:19-26, and John 12:12-26.

Synopsis: Today we see Jesus make His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, accepting and embracing His identity as Messiah. Prior to this day Jesus wanted all this kept secret. In John 6:15, Jesus even withdrew from the people when they tried to crown Him King. While the disciples were still basking in the glow of the parade, imagining what exciting and powerful role they might have in the new kingdom, Jesus explains what is really going to bring about His kingdom and the role they are going to play in it. It is the same role Jesus desires for us to play as well.
