Rev. Adam Spore, 8:30 & 11:00 amTraditional Worship

Rev. Val Stewart, 11:15 am Modern Worship

 

This week, the sermon will look to Psalm 15 and examine a crucial question: "Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent?" The answer might surprise you. While the Old Testament imagined God confined to a tent or temple on a hill, Jesus flipped that picture upside down by descending from the hill to meet people right where they lived—especially those society pushed to the margins. When we recognize Christ's deep compassion and care for all creation, including us, how will we respond? Join us this Sunday back in person (!) as we explore what truly allows us to abide in God's presence.
