Summer Sermon Series

July 5 - August 9 

"CORE FAITH - The Gospel of Matthew"

Core Faith Sermon Series.jpg

The Gospel of Matthew was primarily written for a Jewish-Christian audience between 80 and 90 AD, where Jesus uses parables of the kingdom to reveal that God's reign operates differently than human expectations would have it. Through these stories, He teaches that the kingdom begins in humble, unseen ways but possesses an unstoppable, transformative power, infinite value, and will ultimately face a final, perfect judgment.

"Year of Jubilee"

Deuteronomy 15:1-23

Sunday School Video.

The Year of Jubilee was celebrated by the ancient Israelite community because God created everyone equal, and we all deserve to be forgiven and free. This celebration was more than caring for others. It restored all persons as equal and to be seen as God sees each of us.​

Today's Blessing:

Dear God,

​Loving God, thank you for showing us how to love and be more like You. Help us to work together to make things fair and just for everyone. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Childcare is available on Sunday mornings for ages birth to 4 years &
