Starting this Sunday, June 27th, Pastor Glen will give a nine-part series on the “Fruit of the Spirit” (Galatians 5:22-26). Our preschool children know all of the fruit of the Spirit by heart, because they sing the song! But for those who need a refresher, the Fruit of the Spirit...

Above is a preview of the sermon verses for this Sunday. I chose to share the NLT version because I love the excitment it expresses. Read it for yourself and see if it doesn’t get you a bit excited about being a part of something new that God is doing....

This Sunday we will be reciting The Nicene Creed during our Sunday service. The creed was thoughtfully penned by the early Church to solidify the core beliefs of the Church, and it is a good habit to return to and reflect on this unchanging foundation of our faith. Before reciting the creed on...

“Something Old” that I’m rediscovering this week is the book, “The Screwtape Letters” by C.S. Lewis. I am just a few letters in, but I’m blown away at how relevant the book still is (and not just a little bit convicted). It is a reminder that “There is nothing new...

Pastor Glen will present a two-part sermon on The Armor of God, starting this Sunday, May 30th. The sermons will be based in Ephesians 6:10-20. This imagery of armor in the spiritual life may seem strange to some, but it is a very powerful image to help us understand that...
