THIS SUNDAY

May 10, 2026 - Mother's Day

Rev. Adam Spore, 8:30 am Traditional Worship

& 11:15 am Modern Worship

Rev. Val Stewart, 11:00 am Traditional Worship

 

He had washed their feet. He had broken the bread. And now, in the quiet of that upper room, he was trying to prepare them for something they couldn't yet imagine — a world in which he would no longer be physically present, and they would have to find a way to carry on. His answer to their unspoken fear was a promise: that they would not be left alone. That something — someone — would come to dwell not just among them, but within them. This week, we sit with that promise and the mystery it carries - The Holy Spirit. Have you felt it? And do you know what to call it when you do? Join us Sunday as we ask these questions together.

    Do we truly understand the impact of what we say?
    In James 3:2-12, we’re reminded that our tongue, though small, can set the course of our lives, for better or worse. Like a tiny spark that can ignite a vast forest, our words hold the power to inspire or wound. Can we tame this restless tongue and choose to speak life into every situation?

    Join us as discover how our speech shapes not only our world but also our very souls in Rev. Val Stewart's sermon "The Power of Words."

    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."


  • Traditional
    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."


  • Modern
    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."


  • Modern
    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."
