Sojourners on the Road to Eternity — Bob Whitaker (5 Aug 2018)
“Our hearts are restless until they find their rest in thee.” This famous quote from Augustine is often used to remind us that all human beings are created for relationship with God.

Sojourners — Bob Whitaker (13 May 2018)
Hebrews 11:8-16. The book of Hebrews paints a picture of life for those who are Christ-followers. We are sojourners, aliens, exiles, foreigners, strangers traveling toward home.

It Wasn’t the Haircut — Josiah Leuenberger (23 Jul 2017)
God liberated the people of Israel from Philistine oppressors through the feats of strength of the well-known Judge Samson, but Samson’s story includes not only displays of his divinely-given strength but also his self-destructive sin. Consider with us on Sunday all that his story means for us as we seek to live faithfully before God […]

Faith When the Creek Is Rising — Dan Waugh (21 May 2017)
What does it mean to walk in the faith-steps of Noah? Noah believed God and acted accordingly. What does this look like today?
The Activity of Faith — Bob Whitaker (7 May 2017)
This begins a new series on Hebrews 11, a passage that describes those who have walked by faith. Some of the characters are not the people we might have picked as the best examples of Christian faith. However, the author of Hebrews picked them for a reason. Why these folks, and what can we learn from […]
It’s All About Jesus — Bob Whitaker (17 May 2015)
When Jesus met two disciples on the way to Emmaus, “he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.” We don’t know who wrote the Book of Hebrews but whoever it was took a page from the teaching of Jesus on that day. The writer of Hebrews essentially says the whole […]
