Hoping for an answer to prayer – Join us today!

Never give up! Many of us have adopted this approach to life. If we have a goal, we pursue it with all that we have. How interesting it is that when some of us don’t get what we want from God, we let go so easily. Jesus teaches us that we need to persevere in prayer. It’s not a guarantee, but we discover something unexpected even if God answers the prayer differently than we hope. Join us this morning for “Persist!”

We’ll be live on Facebook on Sunday at 11:00 a.m., or you can watch anytime on Facebook or YouTube. 

  • Here is some information to help you participate if you join us online: Our opening prayer today is responsive. The response is “Let us never give up praying. “
  • The songs are ” To God Be the Glory” and “Have Thine Own Way.” You can look up the words online and sing along.
  • The Bible reading is Luke 18:1-8.
  • We invite you to share your prayer requests in the comments. Whether it’s a moment of praise for God’s goodness in your life or a challenge where you hope to see God’s intervention, we want to hear from you. Your sharing is a testament to how God moves in our lives. Share an offering in our app in Givelify or send a check to the church.

We’re excited to share this time of worship with you. Get ready for a blessed Lord’s Day, Everyone!

Ready to Make a Change? – Join Us Today

The first thing Jesus did, in every version of the story we have about him, was to go out and find other people to come with him. Twelve disciples, called right from the beginning—not to worship Jesus or to promote his reputation, but to walk right beside him, to learn everything he knew, to do the same things he did. He sent them out, early and often, to practice healing and teaching, just like he was doing. They didn’t always get it right. Sometimes they got busy, or distracted, or afraid. Often, they forgot the instructions. Partnerships and joining others are essential parts of changemaking. Join us today for Together We Change the World.

Worship with us today – October 5

If someone asked you, “Do you have faith?” how would you answer? It’s a loaded question. Many people believe in God. Many people claim to believe in Jesus. However, they don’t really show that faith in their lives. This is about more than going to church. Do your everyday actions demonstrate that you believe God is real and loves you? There may be several reasons for that, but faith plays a significant role in life. To better understand the difference faith can make, join us this morning to see how a “Little Seed Gives a Big Result.”

We’ll be live on Facebook on Sunday at 11:00 a.m., or you can watch anytime on Facebook or YouTube.

Worship with us today – September 28

It is an incredible thing to know the love of Christ in your life. Many of us discovered that truth at times when we weren’t feeling very lovable. Where would we be if he hadn’t been willing to come to us during those moments? Jesus crossed social, cultural, and religious lines to love people. Jesus loves when it’s hard. He loves people the world says we shouldn’t. He loves when we’re at our worst. He loved boldly and calls us to do the same. If you want to understand the difference a love like that makes, join us this morning as we discover what it means to love boldly.

Worship with us today – September 14

Most of us have been lost at some point. We understand the confusion and fear those moments bring. It’s not something any of us choose. We also know the other side. The fear and concern that arise when we can’t find something we value are feelings we want to avoid in our lives. Knowing this, can you imagine how God feels about people who are lost? God knows where everyone is. From God’s perspective, being lost means those who choose not to accept God’s love and will in their lives. The good news is that God works every bit as hard as we do to find what is lost. Today, you might experience the joy of what it means to be found. Join us!

Worship with us today – August 31

Do you have a favorite food? There’s something that gets people excited when they think about it: the dish that everyone looks forward to during family gatherings, especially at Thanksgiving. Now that I’ve gotten your minds thinking about something other than God, let’s consider what God says in Isaiah: “Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare.” This morning, we see Jesus talking about our appetites—not just our physical ones, but also the deeper desires of our hearts and souls. Jesus illustrates what happens when our hearts are in the right place.

Worship with us today – August 24

When was the last time you felt healed? Perhaps it was after getting out of bed after having the flu or when a cast came off after a broken bone. Having health restored after an illness or injury is an amazing feeling. You appreciate what it means to be well differently after being sick.

Do you believe in God? Jesus promised to return, but many of us are unsure what it means to live with this promise. Some become preoccupied with trying to determine the date and time, obsessing over what current events match the book of Revelation.
