Remember the wonder of planting a seed in a cup at school, watching roots push down and a sprout push up? Jesus uses this same image in the parable of the sower, teaching us that His Word takes root in people’s hearts in different ways. We are not called to judge whether someone’s heart is ready—we are simply called to scatter the seeds, nurture growth, and trust God to bring the harvest. God invites us to look with wonder at His creation and at the ways He brings life and growth all around us. See you Sunday for the 4th in a series of sermons on Back to Basics.

We’ve all hit that breaking point—the moment when the pace of life feels impossible to keep up. In 1 Kings, the prophet Elijah reached that place too. He wondered if he could keep going, even to fulfill God’s calling. What do we do when we find ourselves there? This week, we’ll look at how God sustains us and gives us what we need to keep living out His mission.

On Sunday, we will explore a concept so fundamental to our teaching of young children through one of the most well known of Jesus' fables.  The story of the Good Samaritan teaches us both how to share our hearts and resources with others, but also how we should define the "others".  Join us Sunday as we continue going "Back to Basics" to re-learn some of the basic teachings of our faith.

We begin a new sermon series this Sunday that appropriately aligns with the beginning of a new school year. We are going 'Back to Basics' as we explore some of the most foundational teachings of our Christian education. This first sermon reminds us how to live in the world with the simplest guidance from Jesus and inspiration from the writings of Robert Fulghum and his book, "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten." See you Sunday!

This Sunday, Pastor Adam preaches the last in his inaugural sermon series with FUMC, 'New Creation'. This week, we look at Ephesians, in which Paul reminds the people of Ephesus that it is through God's grace that we can be born into a new creation. Join us this weekend to explore how we can put in the work to make our own transformation.

This Sunday, join us as we look at the writings of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians.  In this week's verse, Paul writes to the believers in Corinth in Chapter 4, verse 16, "Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day."  Just like the butterfly's time spent in the Chrysalis, our time here on earth is short compared to our eternal life. But the growth and change we experience during this time are essential to our spiritual development.  Our call is to work within the chrysalis of change to allow beauty to form and take shape.
