What Difference Does It Make? He Lives to Give Me Joy in Suffering - May 17, 2026

What Makes Christians Different? Christians Live in Two Kingdoms - July 5, 2026

Matthew 22:15-22

Say It Out Loud - Love God Above All - June 28, 2026

Matthew 10:34-42 What happens when following Jesus costs more than expected? A backflip, a poker table, and Jesus’ startling words about peace and a sword all point toward the same uncomfortable question: What are we willing to lose in order to hold on to what is true? When God's Word creates tension with family, friendships, comfort, or the approval of the world, silence can feel safer than speaking. But the peace Jesus brings is deeper than avoiding conflict, and the life he promises is greater than anything we may fear giving up.

Say It Out Loud - Keep the Faith! - June 21, 2026

2 Timothy 4:1-8 When the world doesn’t want to hear the truth, why keep speaking it? 2 Timothy 4:1–8 answers with Paul’s charge to Timothy and to Christ’s church: Preach the Word. Even under pressure, even when silence feels safer, Christians are called to confess Christ with courage—because his truth is still needed, and his final verdict is better than the world’s.

Say It Out Loud - God Loves Sinners - June 7, 2026

1 Timothy 1:12-17 Paul gives us a trustworthy saying: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." "God loves sinners" seems easy to say until you think about what it means...It means if we want God's love, we have to admit we're really sinners! Paul does not minimize sin. He calls himself a blasphemer, persecutor, and violent man. But his story is not finally about how great his sin was. It is about how much greater Christ’s mercy is. If Jesus showed patience to Paul, then no sinner is beyond the reach of his grace.

Say It Out Loud - We Belong to the Triune God! - Holy Trinity Sunday - May 31, 2026

Matthew 28:16-20 We begin worship “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” But those familiar words are more than a formal way to start a service. They remind us who God is and whose we are. On Holy Trinity Sunday, Jesus shows us the blessing of belonging to the one true Triune God. He gives us his name, gives us his mission, and promises us his presence. Because we belong to him, we have truths worth saying out loud.
