Worth It Worship

Giving God our best in worship is not just about offering rituals or sacrifices—it's about a heart posture that reflects our deep reverence, sacrifice, and commitment to Him.  The Priests allowed the People to devolve into worthless worship and God was letting them know the consequences.

Worthless vs Worth It Worship

From the pew to the pulpit, we often offer worship that is displeasing to God and therefore rejected and at times even disciplined.  Therefore, in this study of Malachi 1:6-14, we’ll consider principles about offering God acceptable worship—worship that is pleasing to him—both corporately at church and personally through our acts of devotion. 

He Loves Me He Loves Me Not

We may know intellectually that God loves us, but sometimes it feels hard to truly experience that love, doesn’t it?  Malachi, the last prophet of the Old Testament, addresses this very skepticism—this disconnect between what God says and how we feel.

Hello, May Name is Malachi

We’re kicking off the new year with a timely new sermon series through the book of Malachi, called Last Things First. As the final book of the Old Testament, Malachi addresses powerful themes that are just as relevant today, especially in the year 2025.
This Sunday, join us for a special "Getting to Know You" introduction and overview of the series. We’ll explore how Malachi’s message speaks to our world and sets the stage for the new year ahead.

The Power of Story

Today’s sermon is a powerful reminder of the profound way God communicates with us—not just through words, but through stories, symbols, and even genealogies!  God invites us INTO this great HIStory via the cross work of Christ Jesus.

Better Late Than Never

My guess is that we think we know all we need to know about the wise men of the Christmas story, but is that really true? Good question. You see, most of what we know about the wise men actually does not arise from the Bible but rather arises from tradition and legend. 

Love has Come

Love, not a sloppy agape, has come in the person of Jesus.  Listen as we are reminded of the reality of God's substance as love, the connection between love & wrath, & the demand to give away what you've been given by God.
