Worship: Comfort, O Comfort, My People

Isaiah 40:1-11 | Even amidst uncertainty, the Israelites were given a message of comfort and hope by the prophet Isaiah. Still today, our God offers us the same message of comfort and hope and invites us to join with Him in preparing the way for his coming among us. Join us for worship as we offer our praise for God’s continued faithfulness and go forth as agents of God’s kingdom. Music and liturgy used within worship covered under CCLI License #1141706.

Worship: Awake to the God IN Us

Mark 13:24-37 | Though seemingly odd to hear from Jesus just prior to his death as we begin the season of Advent, our Gospel for this week points to Jesus’ plea for the disciples to “keep awake,” lest they miss the work of God among them. But what about us? Have we always stayed awake to God at work among us? And what about God at work IN us? Join us for worship as we begin the season of Advent and consider our call, as people who dream, to keep awake. Music and liturgy used within worship covered under CCLI License #1141706.

Matthew 25:31-46 | “Jesus is Lord.” It’s a statement of faith that many have likely heard before. But what would it be like, for all of us, to live as though this central claim was really true? How might it change our lives and our world? Join us as we proclaim the truth that Jesus Christ is Lord and King, and as we are sent to embody his kingdom in the world.

Matthew 25:14-30 | Especially at a time such as this, it may be easy to live in fear. But even in our fear, our Lord seeks us out and frees us to live as children of his grace. But now that we’ve been freed from fear, how are we to live? Join us as we explore our call to live as children of the light as we await the fulfillment of God’s kingdom on earth.

Worship: November 8

Amos 5:18-24 | Faith and life. We “know” that the two are supposed to coexist together. But often, within our society, the two easily become separated. So then, how are we to live as worshippers of Jesus Christ in the world today? Join us as we are filled with the grace of Christ, fueling us for the journey ahead, and as we consider what it means to let our lights shine as a bold and public witness to God’s justice and truth.

Revelation 7:9-17 |Each year, the church pauses to celebrate All Saints Day – a day in which we remember those saints who have gone before us, and those who have been added to our fold. But this year, All Saints Day seems to hold an even deeper meaning. All around, we have been immersed in the reality of death, suffering, and injustice. This weekend, with the whole church, we allow ourselves to recall the deaths of those close to us, and the reality of death around the world. And from that place of remembrance, having gathered around the cross, we go forth as saints into the world. Join us, as we pause, remember, and refocus our lives according to the truth of Christ’s resurrection. Music and liturgy used within worship covered under CCLI License #1141706.

Psalm 46 |A little over 500 years ago, the Reformation was in full swing in Europe. But at the time, the people didn’t know exactly what society, let alone the church, was going to look like after everything calmed down. Instead, what they saw was a bunch of changing and shaking of things they had known to be true for centuries. Today, in 2020, we are living in another reformation moment. Right now, what we see may appear to be a bunch of changing and shaking, perhaps for no odd reason. But even now, God is doing something, reforming and reshaping the world to reflect more clearly God’s kingdom on earth. Join us as we remember Christ as our solid rock, no matter what happens, and commit ourselves to heed the call of God’s Spirit.

Matthew 22: 15-22 |With everything going on around us, how are we to live in God’s kingdom? Sometimes, it may seem as though we are “trapped” in systems of this world that keep us, and our siblings in Christ, from living in the truth of God’s kingdom. So then what? Well, Jesus gives us something to consider as he, himself, found him seemingly trapped by two opposing groups of his day. If you missed worship this weekend, join us, as we hear the promise that we belong to God, the call to awaken to the systems at play around us, and the challenge to live as saints.

Matthew 22:1-14 | Especially since some have been working from home this year, and at times even worshipping from home, the question of “what to wear?” likely hasn’t been a priority. We wear what we want and what’s comfortable. But at Christ’s banquet, we’re given a dress code – not to be restrictive, but so that all, ourselves included, can enjoy the life of the party. Join us in worship, at the banquet of our Lord, as we consider how God calls us to dress the part of discipleship. Music and liturgy used within worship covered under CCLI License #1141706.
