This Sunday

Rev. Adam Spore, Senior Pastor

 

Modern Worship @ 11:15 am in Fidelis Hall

Rev. Val Stewart, Associate Pastor

 

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.

    Have you ever thought about the power you hold in your words?
    Imagine having a secret superpower—one that can either heal or hurt, build up or tear down. In this week's sermon, we’ll explore James 3:2-12 and the profound impact of our tongues. How often do our words bring life and encouragement, and how often do they cause harm and division?

    Join us as we discover how to harness this incredible power for good in Dr. Kevin Tully's sermon, "Your Secret Superpower."


  • Have you ever found yourself wondering if God is truly listening, especially when the silence feels deafening?
    In those moments of desperation, when you’ve tried everything but nothing seems to change, it’s easy to question whether even God cares. This Sunday, we’ll explore the story of a Canaanite woman who refused to give up, even when it seemed like Jesus himself was turning her away. What does it mean to have a faith that persists, that keeps crying out when it seems no one is listening?

    Join us as we delve into the depths of unwavering faith and discover the power of persistence in the face of silence in Dr. Kevin Tully's sermon, “Nevertheless, She Persisted."

    Have you ever felt like you could go through life without anyone’s help? That being a ‘rock’ or an ‘island’ might protect you from pain?
    Paul Simon sang it, but God tells us a different story: ‘It is not good that the man should be alone.’ In a world where screens replace human connection, loneliness is rising, and community feels optional, we need to ask ourselves: Are we living as God intended?

    Join us as we explore the power of connection, community, and why we’re not meant to do this life alone in Dr. Kevin Tully's sermon, “Paul Simon Sang It, But I Never Believed It."

    Have you ever wondered what it means to truly see beauty in a world that feels increasingly gray and monotonous?
    This Sunday, we’re exploring the vivid love poems of Song of Songs, a book that challenges us to look beyond the ordinary and rediscover passion, intimacy, and hope. In a world where productivity often trumps personal connection, could God’s vision of love offer us a fresh, vibrant alternative?

    Join us this Sunday as we uncover what it means to live as “foolish romantics” in a world that desperately needs a touch of color and grace in Seth Jones' sermon, "A Foolish Romantic."

    What do you believe? What is the foundation of your faith revealed in your everyday life?

    As followers of Jesus Christ, our words, actions, and how we live our daily lives are the foundational truth of our inner faith life.
    Come and hear Jesus’ powerful final message in the Sermon on the Mount, where we will examine the structural integrity of our faith practices through the structural integrity stories of this parable of foundations. Through their stories, we’ll explore our faith foundations. Do we have the same problems that Jesus articulates in these verses?

    Join us this Sunday as we continue our summer series on the Sermon on the Mount with Rev. Stewart's sermon, "Structural Integrity."


  • Traditional
    History is full of sad examples of people who got fooled. Today, there are people who work full time trying to scam others. Did you know Jesus had some words to say on that topic, and about being wary of people like that? This Sunday, Dr. Tully will focus on Jesus' final words in his Sermon on the Mount, in Matthew 7:15-28. Come be with us to worship, be in community with others, and to hear his sermon titled, “Scam Alert”.
