Through Ephesians 3:1-12, Pastor Glenn reminded us that today is a day to celebrate God’s love for all!
RefuJesus
The first years of Jesus’ life were anything but easy. What can we learn from that time of his life?
Scripture: Matthew 2:13-23
Mean Girls: Church Edition
What do the apostle Paul, the early church, the church today, and Lindsay Lohan have in common? Listen to find out as we looked at Romans 1:1-7.
Expectation vs Reality
Thomas was not the first or only doubter. Could it be that doubt is a normal and important part of life and faith? Listen as Pastor Glenn considers Matthew 11:2-11.
Gifts from Jesus
The children performed a short play about the gifts that Jesus gives us. A mother and her son are getting ready for Christmas and setting up the nativity set. The son is getting excited to open presents when the nativity comes alive and the boy learns about the lessons that Jesus has taught us.
We are encouraged to remember these lessons throughout the year:
Everyone is welcome
Treat others with love and fairness, the way you want to be treated
Show your love for Jesus by serving others
Love one another
Even when you do something wrong, you can be forgiven
Jesus loves you!

Violence is contagious. So is peace.
How do we live into hope when despair is all around us? How do we live out our all to be people of peace serving the Prince of Peace in a culture of violence? Listen as we study the words of the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 2:1-5).
Beyond Forgiveness?
Not only does this Sunday mark the end of the church year, but it is a reminder that our faith commitments transcend earthly allegiances. Being a people of faith means that we have different priorities. Forgiveness transcends vengeance, our common faith crosses borders, and love triumphs over hate. We celebrate the end of this church year by exploring forgiveness through the lens of Luke 23:33-43.
The End?
What do we do when everything we hold dear crumbles and falls? Is it possible that brokenness is not an end, but rather an opportunity for new life and new beginnings? Pastor Glenn Balzer considered these and other questions through the lens of Luke 21:5-19.
Deep Calls to Deep
Darren Knowles spoke from Psalm 42. We looked at the idea of presence- our presence and God’s in the world today.
When the Saints Go Marching In
As we remember our ancestors, we can honor the past and march into an exciting future.
Scripture: Matthew 1:1-7
