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.

    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”.

    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. Don't miss this powerful message that promises to deepen your understanding of God's love and care.
