This Sunday

Traditional Worship @  8:30 am & 11:00 am in the Sanctuary

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 felt lost, even when you thought you were on the right path?
    In life, as in travel, we often rely on our personal “GPS” to guide us, but what if our internal compass isn’t pointing in the right direction? In Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus challenges us to consider the paths we choose and the gates we enter. The road to spiritual fulfillment is not the wide, easy road, but the narrow path that requires faith, intentionality, and trust.

    Join us this Sunday as we continue our summer series on the Sermon on the Mount with Rev. Val Stewart's sermon, “Who Told You It Was Easy?”

    Have you ever wondered how closely you're following the directions for your life?
    In today's fast-paced world, relying on our GPS to guide us through unfamiliar roads is easy. But what happens when the path we need isn't about highways and exits but about the choices we make every day? This Sunday, we will explore Jesus' powerful message from the Sermon on the Mount about finding and following the narrow road that leads to life. Discover how we can course-correct and realign ourselves with God's purpose, even when we feel lost in the waves of life's distractions.

    Join us this Sunday as we continue our summer series on the Sermon on the Mount with Dr. Kevin Tully's sermon, "GPS is Helpful, But…"

    Why is it so difficult to do right by others? 
    The Golden Rule is one of the shortest and most straightforward lessons taught by Jesus. But the simplicity of Jesus’ message conceals a remarkably difficult task, because it’s a lesson that we struggle with perhaps more than any other. Why is that?

    This week in Modern Worship, our lay speaker, Patrick Wilson, will explore that question as he continues our summer series on the Sermon on the Mount with, “The Easy Path That’s So Hard.”


  • Traditional
    What if living by a simple rule is the key to fulfilling God's vision for humanity?
    This Sunday, we will explore the profound teachings of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, focusing on the golden rule: "In everything do to others as you would have them do to you." We'll delve into how small, everyday actions can plant seeds of transformation, not just in our lives but in the lives of others. Discover how embracing this principle can make us agents of change in a world that often seems unyielding.

    Join us this Sunday as we continue our summer series on the Sermon on the Mount with Dr. Kevin Tully's sermon, “To Sum It Up...”


  • Have you ever wondered how someone truly feels about you?
    This Sunday, Dr. Kevin Tully delves into Jesus' message from Matthew 7:7-11. Discover how Jesus' words reveal our Heavenly Father's generous and loving nature. We will explore the importance of asking, seeking, and knocking, and learn how God's good gifts can transform our lives.

    Do you ever find yourself quick to point out the faults in others while ignoring your own shortcomings?
    This Sunday, Dr. Kevin Tully delves into the heart of Jesus' teaching in Matthew 7:1-5. We'll explore what it truly means to judge righteously and the importance of first addressing our own issues. Discover how focusing on self-improvement can lead to genuine compassion and understanding for others. Don’t miss this powerful message that challenges us to live out our faith with humility and grace.
