Speaker: Rev. Mark Mueller Scripture Focus: 2 Timothy 3:14–4:5 Service Summary: How shall we pray? That question is the focus of today’s Readings. With Jacob as a model, our prayer might seem to be a struggle with God’s will. And Jesus’ parable teaches that prayer is a long-term effort. But prayer is more than a monologue; the Epistle reminds us that God started the convers

The Story of Your Life

Speaker: Rev. Raleigh Sims Scripture Focus: Luke 17:11-19 Service Summary: We know a lot about some of the people in today’s Readings. We could write a typical biography of Ruth, for example, because we know her family’s names and even that she was an ancestor of Jesus. Last week we learned that Timothy, the addressee of today’s Epistle, had a Christian mother and grandmother

Concern for One, Search for One, Joy over One

Sep 11 2022 17 mins  
Speaker: Rev. Mark Mueller Scripture Focus: Luke 15:1-10 Service Summary: Many people attend to the tasks associated with the beginning of the service, looking at the order of worship they have received or checking out what the opening hymn will be. There is blessing to be found also in looking around us and acknowledging those gathered with us. Each of us is singularly special to

Choose Life!

Speaker: Rev. Raleigh Sims Scripture Focus: Luke 14:25–35 Service Summary: The first issue that naturally comes to mind to many Christians when hearing the phrase “Choose life!” is that of abortion, which chooses death, not life. And indeed, never should our witness to God’s gift of life be silenced! Beyond that, however, are all the other choices we make in our struggles b

Those without faith,

Speaker: Rev. Mark Mueller Scripture Focus: Revelation 22:1-20 Service Summary: We have come to the end of our “Tree of Life” series. We began with the account of creation in Genesis and today we finish with the last book of the Bible, Revelation. What does all this mean? Is this the end – the end of everything? What happens after we die? These are questions which have troubl

The Tree of Life: Jesus Conquers Death

Aug 14 2022 16 mins  
Speaker: Rev. Mark Mueller Scripture Focus: John 20:1-18 Service Summary: After His death on the cross, Jesus was sealed in a tomb with a large stone. But He didn’t stay dead. In lesson nine, we talk about His empty tomb and what His resurrection means for our lives today and in the future. In Jesus’ death, death itself, which has stalked God’s creation since Adam and Eve’s
