This past Sunday, Pastor David led us through the story of Jesus’s transfiguration as told in Mark 9:2-13. This sermon comes just after our congregation’s fourth funeral in six months. How do the things that are unspoken in the transfiguration story apply to our lives today? Click below to hear the message on this passage:
How to be Useful
Once upon a time, God healed Naaman of his leprosy, and as a result this commander of Aram’s army came to believe in the God of Israel. This passage from 2 Kings 5 shows that God is interested in healing people, body and soul. What does it say to us in the church today? Listen to Pastor David’s sermon from yesterday!
Even Jesus Prayed
In Mark 1:29-39, Jesus takes time alone for prayer in the early morning, sandwiched between two periods of requests for healings and exorcisms by the people of Capernaum. How does Jesus’s spiritual life affect his mission in life? And how can the same be true for us? Listen to Pastor David’s sermon from February 5 below:
Let’s Go Fishing
Fishing in January might be your thing – or maybe not. But when Jesus called his first disciples to be “fishers of men,” he was calling them to a full-time vocation. And this calling carries a sense of divine urgency with it. What does this well-known story have to do with us and how we live our lives today?

Quiet, Nathanael!
When Jesus called his first few disciples to follow him, one of them didn’t jump at the opportunity. Do you identify with Nathanael in John 1:43-51? What does this passage have to say about how we practice Christian community and discipleship? Click below to hear Pastor David’s sermon from last Sunday.
A Risky, Rewarding Relationship
Mark begins the story of Jesus not with the manger, shepherds, and wise men, but with two baptisms: John baptizing the crowds, and John baptizing Jesus. As we return to our study of our “core principles,” how should this story of baptism inform our understanding of Christian community? Click below to hear Pastor David’s sermon on Mark 1:1-11.
God Makes All Things New
It’s the start of a new year, and many people are thinking about what 2012 will bring. But Pastor David asks, what will the Lord do in the coming year? Click below to hear his message connecting the new year to the biblical story of Jesus being presented in the temple at the age of eight days (Luke 2:21-40).

Walk With a Fresh Understanding!
Jesus, the Savior, is born in Bethlehem! That is the truth behind the Christmas season. Light has entered the world in the person of Jesus, and our lives should no longer be the same. Now we are to “walk in the light as he is in the light,” as John wrote in 1 John 1:1-10 (NIV). What does this mean for us today? Listen to Pastor David’s message from yesterday to find out!
