Jesus comes near to sinners, calls us by grace and invites us into a new life of following him.

Jesus demonstrates his compassion and authority through encounters with two men, a leper and a paralytic. The two accounts reveal a Savior who is willing and able to receive needy people, make them clean and forgive their sins.

As Jesus begins his ministry, people are astonished by what they hear and see. He teaches with an authority unlike anyone they have known, and that authority is demonstrated as he commands unclean spirits, brings healing to the sick, and continues proclaiming the good news of God’s kingdom. What does his authoritative Word mean for us today?

We continue our new series, Mark: The Gospel of the Servant King with Pastor Patrick preaching from Mark 1:14–20, “Entering the Kingdom and Following the King.” Jesus begins his ministry with an announcement: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” God has established his kingdom through Jesus, who invites us to repent, believe, and follow him, submitting to his authority, joining in his mission, and allowing his pattern of his life to shape our own.

We begin a new sermon series that will take us through the fall: Mark: The Gospel of the Servant King. Pastor Patrick will preach the sermon, “The Beginning of the Good News” from Mark 1:1–15. We’ll consider Jesus’ identity as the promised Christ and eternal Son of God, his significance as the One for whom John the Baptist prepared the way, and his mission. As we begin the journey through Mark together, may we come ready to see him more clearly, believe the good news more deeply, and follow our Servant King more faithfully!

In the familiar story of Mary and Martha, Jesus reminds us that even good and worthwhile service can distract us from what matters most.

Pastor Chris shares the message "The Divine Warrior is the Divine Rescuer:  A Song of Ascent to the Eternal City of Jerusalem." Come and hear how Psalm 124 teaches God’s people to humbly remain dependent on Him because He is trustworthy to deliver us from the challenges of life.

Student Ministries Director Seth Baysinger preaches the message “Directing Our Eyes to the LORD: Finding Hope in Waiting” from Psalm 123. The psalm gives voice to God's people when they've simply “had more than enough.” Rather than offering an easy resolution to suffering, the psalm invites us to lift our eyes to the Lord, cry out together for his mercy, and wait expectantly for the God who sees, hears, and acts.

Pastor Dave's message “A Joy-Generating Invitation” from Psalm 122. It's an especially fitting psalm for this Sunday: "I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the LORD!’” As we enjoy the changes to the place where we worship, Psalm 122 reminds us that our greatest joy is found in gathering as God's people in the presence of God.

Dave Strausbaugh continues our Studies in the Psalms series.Life is full of unexpected turns, joys and disappointments, beginnings and endings. Psalm 121 lifts our eyes beyond our circumstances to the Lord, our faithful keeper. "The Lord is your keeper... The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in..." (vv. 5, 7-8).

Pastor Dave preaches the message “Reorienting Grace in a Distressed World” from Psalm 120, the first of the Songs of Ascents, a collection of pilgrimage psalms sung by God’s people as they journeyed to Jerusalem for worship. We'll consider how God meets his people in the midst of a world marked by deception, conflict, and unrest, and how he graciously reorients us through truth, repentance, and the hope of his promises.

Pastor Dave’s sermon, “Word Delight: Joy When Life Isn't Fair” focuses on vv. 161–176. In these closing verses, the psalmist speaks honestly about opposition, hardship, and the reality of living in a fallen world. Yet through it all, he continues to delight in God's Word, finding in it wisdom, comfort, hope, and lasting joy. The psalm concludes with a humble prayer: “I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant,” a reminder that our ultimate hope is not in our faithfulness to God, but in His faithful pursuit of us.

Life often feels uncertain, confusing, and even discouraging. Because God is perfectly righteous, eternally faithful, and true to His promises, we can continue to pray without losing heart. Together we'll consider how God's Word shapes our prayers, strengthens our hope and points us to Christ, our faithful Advocate.

Patrick Tebbano continues our summer series in the Psalms with a sermon from Psalm 119:105-136. In a dark and changing world, God’s word offers us true guidance, stability, life, and joy.

Patrick Lewis preaches the message, “Holding onto the Covenant Words of the LORD.” In this portion, we find the psalmist longing for God's salvation, clinging to his promises in affliction and discovering that God’s Word provides life, stability and wisdom in a changing world.
