Join us in worshiping the Lord at 10:00 am on Sunday, November 16, 2025. Pastor Brett Spalding’s topic is “A City (A Church) on a Hill.” Our scriptures include Proverbs 29:12-18, 2 Corinthians 4:13-18, and Nehemiah 1:1-11.

This Sunday we will look at the prophet Nehemiah and news that he received about Jerusalem being in horrible shape. This brought Nehemiah to tears, because Nehemiah knew that Jerusalem was the home of God’s people. Jerusalem was intended to be a light in the darkness, a city on a hill. Jerusalem was the place where people journeyed to sacrifice to God for their sins. We’ll look at this story in the past and what that past can teach us now.

Synopsis: This Sunday we will look at Jesus overcoming sin on the cross, in the grave, and in His resurrection. Paul writes about what all this means to us, specifically how we need to react to our forgiveness.

Join us in worshiping the Lord at 10:00 am on Sunday, November 2, 2025. Pastor Brett Spalding’s sermon topic is “Living in God’s Truth.” Our scriptures include Matthew 10:40-42, 2 John 1:1-8, and 3 John (entire letter).

Synopsis: Both these letters tell us that God finds no greater joy than to find God’s children walking in the truth. To walk in the truth, we are called to have a lasting impact in the lives of others. As one commentator put it; “God designed us to desperately long to make a difference in the lives of others.”

So how do we do that; if love for Jesus Christ defines this longing then this longing can only be fulfilled by working together with Jesus through the Holy Spirit to awaken others hearts to the love of Jesus Christ.

Join us in worshiping the Lord at 10:00 am on Sunday, October 26, 2025. Pastor Brett Spalding’s topic is “Forgiven and Thankful,” with scriptures including Psalm 51:1-5 and verse 10, Luke 17:11-19, and Luke 7:36-50.

Jesus is invited to a dinner at the home of Simon the Pharisee. During the dinner a sinful woman walks in and anoints Jesus. Luke’s telling of this story includes thoughts of Jesus as Messiah, contrasts the woman’s loving, thankful actions with Simon’s failure to demonstrate ancient hospitality, and the thought of forgiveness and peace. There is much for us take from this passage and apply to our own lives and we will do that on Sunday.

Join us in worshiping the Lord at 10:00 am on October 12, 2025. Pastor Brett Spalding’s topic is “Encouragement and the Trinity,” with scriptures that include 1 Peter 1:3-6, 1 John 5:6-12, and John 16:1-16.

Synopsis: We continue our look at John 13-17, Jesus’ Farewell Discourse to His disciples. Jesus is telling the disciples these things, so they don’t lose faith. He tells the disciples that what is going to happen, Jesus leaving them, will actually be for their benefit. He explains that the Holy Spirit cannot come to them unless He goes. Jesus frames all of this in the relationship between the Father, Himself the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Who will come upon them. We’ll explore all of this, including the Holy Trinity this Sunday.

Join us in worshiping the Lord at 10:00 am on October 5, 2025. Pastor Brett Spalding’s topic is “Remain in God’s Love.” Our scriptures include Psalm 23, Luke 17:5-10, and John 15: 9-17.

Synopsis: I remember reading once, and even hearing it in a lecture, that the role of a pastor is to preach the Good News of Jesus Christ. Our role is not to be a life coach, teaching people how to live a successful life, but to proclaim Jesus Christ salvation to the world. Pastors are to proclaim salvation through the grace of Jesus Christ, and Christ alone.

Then, as Scott Hoezee states, along comes a passage like John 15:9-17, or Luke 17:5-10. Jesus says, “If you do what I say … then I will love you.” Does the “if” in this sentence bothers you, does it make you ask if salvation is conditional? Does Jesus stop loving us if we sin?

Thankfully, that is not the case, Jesus still loves us, in spite of our sin. He made that clear on the cross. There is a lesson here however, and an important one. It is addressed to those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and live in His love. We’ll explore all of this on Sunday.

Join us in worshiping the Lord at 10:00 am on September 28, 2025. Pastor Brett Spalding’s topic is “Believe and Trust in Jesus Christ.” Our scriptures include Exodus 20:1-6, Isaiah 41:21-29, and John 14:1-7.

Synopsis: John 14 continues the farewell discourse that began in chapter 13. The disciples are in the upper room as a group for the last time and Jesus is speaking very clearly about his death. The disciples are distraught and ask Jesus many questions in their fear and disillusionment. Jesus now seeks to provide answers to their questions and to provide comfort, direction, and hope. Jesus tells them to trust in God the Father and in Him, for He states, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father, except by Me.”

Join us in worshiping the Lord at 10:00 am on September 21, 2025. Pastor Brett’s topic is “Love and Serve One Another.” Our scriptures include John 12:23-27, John 13:1-10, and John 13:11-17.

Synopsis: Today we begin a sermon series on chapters 13 through 19 of the Gospel of John. These chapters are known as Jesus’ Farewell Discourse to the disciples. These teachings of Jesus take place the evening before His crucifixion that we’ve come to know as Maundy Thursday. Jesus has told the disciples that He would be leaving them, and He is now leaving them with some final teachings and encouragement. He begins His teaching by washing the disciples’ feet.
