Our Values

Community

We value strong, interdependent relationships in the church. As Christians, we were made to love and serve one another.

Bible

The Bible is the inspired word of God so it is important to us to know it and accurately preach it in context.

Church

Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. It is vital that believers regularly gather together to worship God, receive his word, and use our gifts to minister to one another.

Pastor's Note - February 2

In the last few sermons, I’ve given some “homework assignments” for the church. Based on the text, I’ve encouraged us to enjoy creation, and enjoy creating. I didn’t do it last Sunday, but if I did give a homework assignment, it would have been “enjoy rest.” I may even take it a step further, and encourage you to assess your schedule to see if you have patterns of work and rest. Do you have regular rhythms of rest in your life, to cease from work, and… read more

There’s a Christian book on marriage, targeted at couples looking toward marriage, titled “What Did You Expect?” It’s a great title, hinting at the fact that marriage is often much harder and much different than we anticipate. Marriage is the union of two imperfect people, so it can’t and won’t be perfect. I wonder if someone ought to write a book about the church with the same title – “What Did You Expect?” I think we often (even… read more

I love the simple encouragement of Hebrews 13:16 – “And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” It’s a straightforward reminder toward generosity, because we serve a generous God. I have been reminded of this as I come into the church office, and see people serving. As I write this, several men are volunteering their time to change out lightbulbs in the building. I have seen Aaron Dick and his building team spend a… read more

I was going to start this little note by pointing to a quote I read recently. The quote is; "The earth is degenerating today. Bribery and corruption abound. Children no longer obey their parents, every man wants to write a book, and it is evident that the end of the world is fast approaching." According to a picture I saw online, this quote wasn’t a recent saying, describing the struggles of our modern age, but was actually attributed to an Assyrian tablet from 2800 BC. I was going to use… read more

A pastor alerted me to a great line from a biblical prayer. It comes from 2 Chronicles, in the context of an incoming attack on Judah from the Moabites and Ammonites. Facing a great, overwhelming threat, Jehoshaphat led the people in prayer. I would recommend reading the whole prayer in 2 Chronicles 20:6-12. But the last line of the prayer especially provoked me, which reads (NIV); “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” What a prayer! It’s a prayer of great… read more

We begin another new year! Who knows what the new year holds. But we know this – God will grant to us new expressions of His love, new outpourings of His blessings, new assurances of forgiveness, new opportunities for growth, and all kinds of new and ongoing grace from Him. We know this because Scripture tells us that His mercies are new every morning. This famous verse comes from one of the most sorrowful books of the Bible, Lamentations, which expresses the pain of Israel’s… read more

This Christmas week, I want to share with you a Christmas devotion from Oswald Chambers, from “My Utmost for His Highest;” His Birth in History. “…that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God (Luke 1:35). Jesus Christ was born into this world, not from it. He did not emerge out of history; He came into history from the outside. Jesus Christ is not the best human being the human race can boast of— He is a Being for whom the… read more

This week I was talking to a member of the church and was reminded of a John Piper quote, which I think came from his twitter account years ago. The quote is; “God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.” God is always at work. But we are not God, and have limited ability to see what He is doing. This is a comfort for us in our struggles and discouragements. While we may be discouraged about our health, we never know how God may be using… read more

We’ve been discussing Ecclesiastes in our 242 Group, and I have been reminded of why I love this particular book of the Bible. I love it because it takes a sober but honest look at life and who we are. I love it because it calls us to prioritize our lives properly, and center our hearts and worship on the Lord. I love Ecclesiastes because it causes us to look at life from different angles. I also love it because it is, quite frankly, confusing. At times it is extremely difficult to… read more

A funny thing occurred to me as I was listening to Josh Lewis’ sermon from 1 Corinthians 16 on Sunday morning. I realized that I had been misquoting Scripture for months! Not privately, but publicly, and in the Sunday morning service. Specifically, on Sunday mornings I have been using a benediction from 1 Corinthians 16:25-27 to close the service. Here’s the thing – 1 Corinthians 16 stops at verse 24. There is no 25-27 of 1 Corinthians 16. So what text had I been using? Did I… read more

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. I love Christmas season. The lights, the change of pace from the rest of the year, the gift-giving and generosity, the opportunities to minister, the food, the formation of traditions… I love all of it. Granted, it can be a busy season. And if we are not careful, we can be distracted from the real purpose in all of this (and all of life) – casting our hearts and minds on Jesus our Savior and Lord, and giving our lives in praise to… read more

1 Corinthians 15:18-23 teaches that because Christ was raised bodily, all those in Christ will also experience bodily resurrection. When will this bodily resurrection happen? According to verse 23, “at his coming.” So, we will experience bodily resurrection at the end of this age, at the second coming of Christ. This brings up a theological question that, for the sake of time, we did not address on Sunday. That question is, “What happens to our souls between physical death and… read more
