The Unknown God

This Sunday in worship, we hit one of my all time favorite passages. There’s a lot about the Apostle Paul with which I struggle, but I really like Paul in this story. I’m looking forward to diving into his philosophical conversation with folks in the little town of Athens. -Pastor Paul

Don’t Stop Singing.

Y’all, I am SO excited about this Sunday. We have a big, somewhat complicated, but powerful story from the Book of Acts, and we’re gonna shake things up a little. -Pastor Paul

Better Caul Saul

This week we turn the page to the book Acts, which is a collection of stories about the Disciples after Jesus has ascended and sent to the Holy Spirit on them in a new fresh way. That movement of the Spirit starts in Acts 2, on the Day of Pentecost (the Jewish holiday Shavuot), which isn’t for another few weeks. So this week we skip over that story and we move into the beginnings of the ministry of the Apostle…

Unleashed

This week we wrap up the Gospel of John with a passage that has two significant stories: One is essentially John’s Pentecost story, and the other is Thomas and his need to see and touch the resurrected Christ before he can believe (personally, I think he gets a bad rap around this). -Pastor Paul

Finding Life

This Sunday is Palm Sunday so we will be moving backwards in the Gospel of John to accommodate for that. As with so much of John, the Palm Sunday passage is pretty different in that what surrounds it is not Jesus turning over tables in the temple (that was in John 2) but the raising of Lazarus. We’ll dig into it all and how it all connects to one of John’s primary themes: Life! -Pastor Paul

Not These Sheep

This Sunday we’ll take a look at John’s account of when Jesus arrested. It, like so much of the Gospel of John, is rich with meaning and connections to other places in John’s Gospel and the Scriptures as a whole. -Pastor Paul

Be Human

This Sunday we keep plodding through the Gospel of John with the famous story of the resurrection of Jesus dear friend, Lazarus. This is a long and full story, rich in symbolism and the complexities of life, death, friendship, grief, anger, and love. In that sense, it is deeply, deeply human. We’ll see what bubbles out of it for us this week! -Pastor Paul
