As Easter approaches, we should be asking ourselves some important questions, deep questions about our purpose. As we reflect on these questions, we experience the powerful presence of a Jesus who shared our humanity, so that He might transform us into the people He always intended us to be. Please join us in person or online–LIVE or LATER–on our YouTube Channel.
“Why this Waste?”, Matthew 26:6-13, Sunday, March 30, 2025
As Jesus makes his way to Jerusalem, a woman anoints Him with expensive perfume. Some accuse her of wasting a precious commodity. However, Jesus blesses her for her sacrifice. Maybe she saw something in Him that all of us should see.
“What Are You Willing to Give Me?,” Matthew 26:14-16, Sunday, April 6, 2025
When a council of religious leaders asked Judas to betray his Teacher, he asked them a question. He wanted to know what he would get in exchange for his service. He had no way of understanding, however, how weighty this cost would be. His actions challenge all of us to ask what we are trading in exchange for our fellowship with Jesus.

What Has Jesus Given Us? Matthew 26:26-30, Maundy Thursday, April 17, 2025, 7 PM, Chapel
Communion
As Jesus prepares His disciples for action He hosts a meal. As He distributes the bread and the cup, He draws analogies to His body and His blood. What do these comparisons symbolize? How do they prepare us to be His representatives in a spiritually hungry world?
“Couldn’t You Men Keep Watch With Me…?”, Matthew 26:36-41, Good Friday, April 18, 2025, 12:00 Noon, Chapel?
Filled with anguish, Jesus leads His disciples into a garden to pray. However, they are not up for the challenge. When they fall asleep, Jesus reminds them of imminent danger. What danger faces us today, that requires our spiritual vigilance?
“Do Not Be Afraid”, Matthew 28:1-7, Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, 8:30 Sanctuary, 10:00 Outdoor Stage
Nothing terrifies us like death. Our very nature fights against it, even when it seems inevitable. When the first women come to a tomb to face the reality of death, they hear a powerful message of hope. “Do not be afraid!” Let’s remember together how the resurrection of Jesus casts out our fear, even our fear of death itself.
Easter — Next Steps, Matthew 28:18-20, Sunday, April 27, 2025
The Resurrection is now an historical fact. Jesus has risen! But so what? How does this fact change the family that God is creating in the image of His Son?
