A Foolish Romantic

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."

When everything familiar is taken away—home, comfort, power—what does it mean to still be faithful? The ancient Israelites wrestled with these same questions during exile, wondering if God had abandoned them or if their faith even mattered anymore. But voices like Habakkuk and Daniel show us that being chosen by God isn’t about privilege—it’s about living with courage, integrity, and trust, even in hard times. Please join us for this special Patriotic Music Sunday!

This Sunday, Pastor Tully will share a message from the heart as he looks back on 45 years of serving as a pastor. What does it mean to live with gratitude, to serve faithfully, and to trust God through every moment—good or bad? Pastor Tully reminds us that being a follower of Jesus isn’t about being perfect, but about doing the next right thing with God’s help. Each of us has a role to play in sharing God’s love. We hope you’ll join us—it’s going to be a special day.

Life doesn’t happen all at once—it comes in phases, and each phase has a purpose. God has designed a time for everything: to grow, to learn, to love, and to give back. But when we rush or mix up those phases, we often end up hurting ourselves and others. In this Father’s Day message, we’ll explore what it means to live wisely, love deeply, and care for the next generation more than we care for ourselves. Come hear how Jesus calls us to grow up in faith, not just for our own sake—but for the future.

This Sunday is Pentecost, one of the most important days in the Christian year—even more important than Christmas! It’s the day we remember how the Holy Spirit was poured out on Jesus’ followers and how the Church was born. Some people were confused or even made fun of what was happening, but others opened their hearts and received something amazing. God still speaks through dreams and visions today, and the Holy Spirit continues to work in our lives if we’re willing to listen. Join us and discover what it means to dream God's dreams and be led by His Spirit!

Have you ever felt left out—or maybe proud to be part of something others couldn’t join? This Sunday, we’re talking about why that feeling matters and what it says about our hearts. God’s love isn’t just for the “in crowd.” Instead, God’s dream is a world where everyone belongs and is cared for. Come ready to think, reflect, and maybe see things a little differently.

This Sunday, we're talking about something hard - about the things that keep us far from God and from being our best selves. We’ll hear a Bible story that shows how Jesus helps people when nothing else seems to work. And we’ll talk about prayer—not as a magic fix, but as a way to bring God into the front seat of our lives instead of leaving Him in the trunk. Come ready to be challenged, comforted, and maybe even surprised by the power of prayer.
