The Nature of God: God Knows Everything

Welcome to our Sunday Sermon podcast!  In this sermon, Pastor Matt explores the feelings of God knowing everything.  When you were a kid, did news of what you had been up to get home before you did? Did your parents seem to know everything? Is the idea of God knowing everything comforting or discomforting to you and why? What are the differences between “knowing” and “controlling” everything, and does one or the other frustrate you, give you peace, or something else?

God Knows Everything: Psalm 139

Exploring the Nature of God: God Is Creator

Welcome to our Sunday Sermon Podcast!  In this sermon, Pastor Matt asks what was the last thing you saw that brought you a sense of awe? What is the main point of Genesis 1?  Does thinking about or believing in God as creator ask anything of you as an individual or us as humans? If so, what?  If the interpretive trajectory of the sermon on Genesis 1 (and 2) is new or different to you, what other questions or interpretations do you have?

God Is Our Creator

Welcome to our Monday Morning Podcast!  In this episode, Pastor Jo Ellen reads part of the creation story in Genesis 1.  She asks how we are taking time to be in creation and how we care for it.  She share a little bit about the upcoming sermon series that looks at the same themes our children explored during Vacation Bible School.

Raise the Question: But What If I Don't Want to Answer?

Welcome to our Sunday Sermon podcast!  In this sermon, Pastor Jo Ellen shares part of her calling story and how it is not always a straight forward path.  What does it mean to discern God’s calling when you feel like you already have your life all figured out? What ways might God be nudging- or yanking- you out of your comfort zone? What would be one easy way and one harder way to respond to God’s calling today? Is there an “age limit” … too young or too old … to be called by God? What if my calling conflicts with my existing plans?
