Christmas Eve concludes Advent and Christmas Day is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Adventure in Faith
​November 27, December 4, 11, 18
​​The Advent season is a time of expectation as we anticipate the birth of Christ. During the rest of the year we recall the resurrection, but this season permits us to be excited about God coming to dwell among the people as the unexpected infant of a poor family.

Response-ability: There is a difference between what we are responsible for and that to which we are able to respond. This series will explore our responses to God and Christ's presence in our lives through our responses to the world in which we live.

Holy Trinity
May 22, 29, June 5, 12, 2016
One of the most difficult concepts of Christianity is the identity of One God known to us in three persons. This series will explore the unity of God by examining the personae through which we encounter God.

Pentecost
May 15, 2016
Commissioning of the Spirit: On this Sunday we will look at the Great Commission and the missional ministry of God through Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

New Life
March 27, April 3, 10, 17, 24, May 1, 8, 2016
​The death and resurrection of Jesus represent God's invitation to us into new life. After the period of Lenten introspection and giving up of bad habits (sins) the Easter season (Great 50 Days) gives Christians an opportunity to reinforce their new behaviors. In addition to worship, the church should be carefully looking at and engaging ministry and mission opportunities in town and in the area, inviting people who are rediscovering their faith to participate in these activities. 

Picture
Passionate Christianity
February 14, 21, 28, March 6, 13, 2016
​Lent is a time of introspection and of giving up bad habits of sinfulness. We should give up our sins and replace them with righteous thoughts and actions. This series will focus on Christ's ministry, proclaiming the Kingdom, on his focus on that ministry, and engage the Passion as we come to Palm Sunday. 


Due to technical issues the sermon for March 20 will not be available. There was no recording on Easter, March 27.

God is for real!
January 3, 10, 17, 24, 31, February 7, 2016
​The Epiphany celebrates the arrive of the wise men from the East and with that the recognition that Jesus is the Messiah, the Emmanuel. Epiphany is a single day and the season after it is ordinary, permitting us to get a breather before the next set of holidays, but also to reflect on the importance of God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit in our lives. The colors are white for the holidays and green for the ordinary time. We will have three lesser holidays in this series; Epiphany Sunday, Baptism of the Lord, and Transfiguration Sunday. Each of these will highlight the changes God is making in our world and in our lives.
