The Mountain

The Mountain

God is not capricious. HE IS LOVE. He forces no one to do anything. At all times He preserves our dignity. This trial was not only to see what Abraham believed, but to also demonstrate to us what HE would be willing to do FOR us! Join us as we discover Jesus on The Mountain!

The Garden

The Garden

Who have you always pictured “walking in the garden” in the Book of Genesis? Some say this is all “metaphorical” or “anthropomorphic” language because they are using reason over and above Scripture. Join us today to see exactly how Scripture explicitly calls Jesus…GOD! And then, even more importantly, what does this mean for all of us?!?

Esther

Esther

Esther is a pivotal story both in its narrative and in its timing. Persia was a powerful empire, and, as you know Esther will represent the Hebrew people, and ultimately save them by her sacrifice. Does that sound familiar? A person willing to die for the people in order to save them through sacrifice? You are invited to join us as Bill Crosby leads through the story of Esther, which both looks back and prophesies forward!

Your Faith Has Saved you

Your Faith Has Saved you

In today’s special service, we hear from church planter Jim Bartok from Ozark, MO who is sharing a powerful message from Luke 7, where we read: “Then those who were at table with him began to say among themselves, ‘Who is this, who even forgives sins?’ And Jesus said to the woman, ‘Your faith has saved you; go in peace.’” Luke 7:49-50.

Walk In Him

Walk In Him

How do we “walk in Him”? We need His promises! We need to grow in these promises and ponder them. These promises tell us precisely WHO HE is, and that He is IN ALL THINGS, and that in Him, ALL THINGS hold together…all of which determines WHO WE are! Join us for a VERY special celebration of our Youth team’s ministry this year as they help lead our worship and study of God’s Word!

A New Humanity

A New Humanity

You have heard it said: "Don't go to church. BE the church." This is great, but the truth is even better: You already ARE the church. You ARE the New Humanity! You HAVE BEEN called! This is what the Greek Word for church means: EKKLESIA = "the assembly of those called out".

You are invited to join us for the conclusion of our journey through 1 Peter as we ponder who we are: A New Humanity!

Wow!! Jesus For Us

Wow!! Jesus For Us

What WOWs us? More importantly, what about the WOW in Jesus…for us?

Because of God’s mercies, we are free to join Him in what He is already doing! But the world does not let go of us easily, and seeks for us to conform to its pattern rather than being transformed by Jesus! This is why we must always seek the face of Jesus found in His Word, by His Spirit, and in His love!

Join us as Pastor Dar Karsten leads us in the WOW in Jesus for us!

Gospelers not Grumblers

Gospelers not Grumblers

As THE NEW HUMANITY, we live as bearers of GOOD NEWS, not grumblers about all the things we dislike or despise. And yet, we all struggle with this challenge…so where do we get the power to participate with Jesus in the restoration of all things? The answer sounds strange at first, but join us as we discover God’s design (and power!) for you and me to be Gosplers Not Grumblers!

Naturally Supernatural

Naturally Supernatural

Is Baptism a mere symbol? Is it an “outward sign of an inward faith?” What does the Bible say? The Bible says: “Baptism now saves you.” Do these words mean what in fact they sound like they mean? Join us today as we ask these powerful questions together. Discover how God is Naturally Supernatural!

Heirs of Grace

Heirs of Grace

Is the Bible simply outdated? Isn’t it true that we’ve moved beyond God’s primitive ways and now we’ve come up with better plans…or, are we in fact still heirs of His grace? Are we still called to live in his household and therefore build lives that come from His household and reflect His household? But if that is true, then won’t we end up looking really…different?

Yessssssss! You are invited to join us today as we study 1 Peter 3:1-17!

God's Loyal Love

God's Loyal Love

The world’s love has conditions. Sometimes money is the condition. Sometimes good looks are the condition. Sometimes agreeing with a particular point of view is the condition…Love is love…it would seem.

But, what is God’s love like? That is what Bill Crosby and the PW Spiritual Support Team is leading us in today while our Youth Team is in Houston for the National Youth Gathering. You are invited to join in as we discover, together, God’s LOYAL Love: Khesed!!!!

Free Slaves

Free Slaves

People who “do whatever they want” are not free. If you have tried this, you know it is true. There is more to freedom…much more. In fact, our “Uncle Marty” once wrote:

  • A Christian is the most free of all, subject to no one.

  • A Christian is the most servant of all, subject to everyone.

What is going on with these two seemingly contradictory statements? Where did Martin Luther get this idea from? From several Scriptures, including 1 Peter 2:13-25, which is what we are studying today! Join us!

The Royal Priesthood

The Royal Priesthood

Saying you are a “Christian” is the same as saying you are a “priest”. This is the kind of power and office Christians have. Each of us is called to tell of the mighty works of God in our lives and instruct others about what you have learned. For each of us we carry out this office as we are gifted to do.

But, um, HOW?

You are invited to join us for this special study of 1 Peter 2:1-12

Completely Different

Completely Different

So if it is true that we do not belong in this broken world…what do we do? Escape is not our plan. We have been made Completely Different, so that we could BE Completely Different by a God who is Completely Different SO THAT we could participate with Him in making a difference in the things that matter most.

Join us as we discover what it means to be HOLY.

Sojourners

Sojourners

We are “not from around here.” We are exiles, travelers, sojourners on this earth. And God has SENT us to the place where we are at!

So then, how do we “do church?” Do we just wait around for Jesus to return or does He have a mission for us? Does He not have a plan for us now? If we are Sojourners, how then shall we live in this foreign land?
