"Summer of Psalms: God Is Our Refuge" (Psalm 91)

"Summer of Psalms: God Is Our Refuge" (Psalm 91)

Sing to the Lord a Joyful Noise! This summer, we will spend some time in the hymnbook of God, the Psalms! Psalm 91 reminds us that with God, we have an ever-present shelter in our time of need. This is important because life has more than its fair share of storms, but with God, we will always have a ledge of protection to stand under. For that reason, we lift up His powerful name in praise and adoration. “During Life's Storms, God Is Our Refuge!”

"Trinity Sunday: Father, Son and Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:16-20)

“God in three persons, blessed trinity.” Have you ever felt like God was more mystery than revelation? The eternal, immortal, invisible, only God is beyond our understanding. In fact, we are helpless to know Him on our own. Thankfully, He chooses to reveal Himself to us. He does this through what we call the doctrine of the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one God, three persons. This Trinity Sunday, we, as a Church, confess this revealed truth and together praise His wonderful name.

"Pentecost: 50 Days Later" (John 7:37-39)

Are you the kind of person who counts down the days until their birthday? It is fun to celebrate the beginning of something special, whether it be a life, a relationship, or even a Church. Today is Pentecost Sunday, the day that some might call the birthday of the Christian Church. And the best part of birthdays is not the cake, but the gifts. At Pentecost, the Church was given the gift of the Holy Spirit. Let's celebrate our shared gift of faith on this special day.

"One In Christ" (John 17:6-11)

Have you ever been on a new team, maybe in sports or in a work environment, and it started a little awkwardly? Everyone comes in as a stranger, used to doing their own thing, but if you have a good coach or a good cause, strangers suddenly turn into teammates, and a spirit of unity forms. Before Jesus goes to the cross, He prays that His Church would be united, just as He is united with His Father in heaven. How is such unity possible? Only through Christ Himself. Let’s praise His name, together!

"Living Hope" (1 Peter 3:13-17)

A life without hope is a miserable place to be. Because of this, we are quick to put our hope in something, anything! But so often, what we hope for falls short of our expectations. This can cause us to be hesitant with our hope in the future. With Jesus, this is not the way. He has proven time and again to be our living hope. Hope in Him is so life-giving and real that it is hard to hide. In fact, others might ask us about our hope. True, living hope is a witness to the world!
