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.

    What does it mean to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world?
    As we dive into Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount this summer, we'll explore how these powerful metaphors can transform our lives and our community. This Sunday, we will uncover the significance of letting our faith "shake it out" into the world, enhancing and preserving the goodness around us. Discover how living by Jesus’ teachings can flavor every aspect of our existence and bring light to those in darkness. 

    Join us this Sunday for Dr. Kevin Tully's sermon, "Shake It Out."

    Where do we fit into God's mission?
    In Matthew 5:1-11, Jesus describes groups of people who will inherit the kingdom of heaven—people who often seem different from us. So, what do we do when Jesus is not talking about us? Where do we fit into God's mission if Jesus is handing the kingdom over to someone else? 

    Join us this Sunday as we kick off our summer series, "The Way: Jesus' Sermon on the Mount," in for Seth Jones' sermon, "Divine Real Estate."

  • Can our lives be like prisms?
    This Sunday, we will explore the significance of Pentecost, Heritage Sunday, Senior Sunday, and our congregation's 175th anniversary. Through scripture and reflection, we'll discover how each facet of our existence reflects the divine light, illuminating even the darkest corners of our world. Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the meaning of life as we journey together in faith.

    What happens when we disconnect from the truth of God’s word?
    This week, our lay speaker, Patrick Wilson, will contemplate the importance of truth in our world and in our lives, especially the truth of God’s word, as expressed by the prayer of Christ in John 17:6-19.

    How does the passage of time deepen our understanding of faith?
    Join us this Sunday as we explore the depth of Jesus' words and the power of remembering. From the heart of John's gospel, we'll delve into how our faith journey mirrors the disciples' understanding over time. Together, let's reflect on the essence of motherhood, forgiveness, and God's profound love for us. Don't miss this sermon of reflection and grace.
