The beginning of a new series on Ecclesiastes starts with a scripture touting everything as meaningless, everything the same, and nothing new under heaven.  But, as Pastor Stuart will share, there is something new and it is what brings all meaning. 

We have all been hurt at some point in our live.  Pastor Gary outlines what is God's responsibility and what is our responsibility in order to begin healing from the damage.

I a world filled with division it is important to remember that we, as Christians, can come together, even in our differences, to be the body of Christ.

Things happen in our lives, or we do things that bring us shame and regrets.  As we focus on the Cross and Key Prison ministry this week, Pastor Mark shares that for all of us our hope is found in the forgiveness of Jesus Christ.

When you feel discouraged and all is lost know that God is there with you.

Psalm 31 paints quite the picture of a woman and mother.  There is so much to be learned from our own moms and those who have been mother figures in our lives. 

Jesus has done so much for each of us.  It is our job therefor, to go and tell the world.

There are important lessons we can pick up from our fathers that point to helping us live our our biblical purpose.

God is our master gardener.  He is the one in charge.  Sometimes we are tempted to be the one to pluck the weeds out of the field before the harvest.  But God says that is His job and we should grow together.  

A powerful question...what kind of legacy will you leave.  Does it point to love?  Does it point to Jesus Christ?

It's Fourth of July weekend and a good time to look at what America was founded on.  Also a great time to get back to the basics of what our faith is founded on.

As a wrap up to our Vacation Bible School Pastor Stuart revisits his character Rabbi Stu from the week to share how Jesus effected him as a teacher of Synagogue school.

A great reminder that in the midst of everything going on in this world God is still the one in control.

On this Stephen Ministry Commissioning Sunday, Pastor Stuart reminds us that we are called to care for others.  We are called, just at the men who lowered their friend through a roof to be healed by Jesus, to bear the burdens of other is Christ's name.

Pastor Mark shares why the day of Pentecost is celebrated each year and why that should matter to us as a church.

On this Memorial Day weekend we stop to remember and hear a story of Ichabod, Phineas, and Ebenezer.  Not Ichabod Crane, not Phineas and Ferb, and not Ebenezer Scrooge but possibly men that should be remembered more than these.

We have finally come to the end of the story of Jonah.  He has arrived at Ninevah and prophesied about God.  The people have turned from their ways and are honoring God.  Jonah goes outside the city to sit and see what happens.  It is not what Jonah expects but what does happen shows us much about the character of our Great Big God.

Jonah is out of the whale and headed toward Ninnevah to speak the word of God.  The whale may have seemed amazing but could it be even more amazing that every person in Ninnevah turned toward God.  Every single person!!

Have you ever been in the belly of a whale?  Well, probably not but there are times in life where it feels as if all may be lost.  In that moment Jonah cries out to God and God gives him a second chance.  Likewise, God is not done with any of us yet and is ready for us to call out to Him.

God called Jonah to prophesy to Nineveh but Jonah did not listen.  Do we take the time to get quiet and listen to God...and the more importantly, do we listen to what God is calling us to do?
