Even as followers of Jesus, we can feel the weight of invisible chains—destructive habits we can’t shake, legalism that drains our hope, a bondage that quietly steals the joy Christ won for us. But the gospel tells a different story. In our new series, “Free Indeed,” we’ll journey through Paul’s letter to the Galatians and discover how Christ has shattered our shackles. Together we’ll learn to stand firm in the truth that “for freedom Christ has set us free” (Gal. 5:1) and step into the wide-open life of grace God has called us to live. Join us and experience the wonder of walking as liberated people of God.


This Sunday, Pastor Chris will continue our series with a sermon titled "Not My Way: Sinatra and the Promise of God" from Galatians 4:21-5:1.

A fundamental question woven through the book of Samuel is who is the real king of Israel. After the failures of Eli's and Samuel's sons, the people ask for a king, which God interprets as a rejection of his kingship. Saul fails in large part because of his lack of obedience to God, the true king. David has a mixed record but succeeds, if you will, to the degree that he trusts in God. But even he is not the true king of Israel.

Ages 6th grade through High School - 9:00 AM in the Parlor.

Join us after the service for a fresh brewed cup of coffee, a treat . . . or two, and a time to relax, discuss the service, and fellowship with friends - old and new.
