4/16/2023 Second Sunday of Easter
Jesus taught us to pray, “Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.” God intends the church to be the evidence and witnesses that his kingdom is here. And he gives us the power of his divine Spirit to accomplish the work.
4/23/2023 Third Sunday of Easter
The signs of salvation are evidence that silences critics of Christianity. It’s one thing to claim that we are saved by Jesus. It is quite another to live in such a way that people know we belong to God. There’s an older saying, “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.”

One of Jesus’ followers, Stephen, oversees caring for the poor. Religious leaders in the temple become jealous of his life and influence. They decide to kill him. But as they stone him, Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, forgives his attackers. Can we be that full of the Spirit? Find out in this week’s sermon by Pastor Scott.
5/7/2023 Fifth Sunday of Easter
Acts asks us, are there new experiences of the HS that challenge our current understanding of scripture? We believe God was inspiring Peter to hear old scripture in a new way when he went to Cornelius’s home. God still inspires us through scripture today.
5/14/2023 Sixth Sunday of Easter
God created men and women in God’s own image, so it’s no surprise that God leads Lydia to start a house church. What is God empowering you to do that secular (and maybe church) culture says you can’t, but God is saying, “Go for it!”
5/21/2023 Seventh Sunday of Easter
Paul preaches in Athens…there is an unknown God these philosophers are worshipping. What are the unknown gods in our culture that reveal God is in the heart of every person? As we celebrate God’s work in our church this year, we will also look at what God is calling us to in this next year.
