On Oct. 20, Pastor Jim preaches on John 6:1-14. Though the feeding of the multitude is in all four Gospels, John is the only one that tells us about the little boy with his lunch. In the past when I’ve thought of the five loaves and two fish, I’ve imagined steaming loaves of bread, fresh […]
On Oct. 20, Pastor Katy preaches on John 6:1-14. 6:1 After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias. 2 A large crowd kept following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing for the sick. 3 Jesus went up the mountain and sat down […]
On Oct. 13, Pastor Jim preaches on Exodus: 3:1-14. 3:1 Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led his flock beyond the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush; […]
On Oct. 6, Pastor Jim preaches on Luke 7:36-50. 36 One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee’s house and took his place at the table. 37 And a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having learned that he was eating in the Pharisee’s house, […]

On Sept. 29, Pastor Jim preaches on Esther 4:9-14. 9 Hathach went and told Esther what Mordecai had said. 10 Then Esther spoke to Hathach and gave him a message for Mordecai, saying, 11 “All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that if any man or woman goes to the […]
On August 11, Pastor Jim preaches on the story of Jonah and the Big Fish found in the Book of Jonah. It’s been called a “Whale of a Tale,” a myth, and a legend. Can we take this story seriously? What does this have to say to our modern situation? Well, actually the story has something […]
On August 11, Pastor Katy preaches on the story of Jonah and the Big Fish found in the Book of Jonah. It was one of my favorites growing up! Who doesn’t love the idea of being swallowed up by whale for three whole days, and then being spit onto dry land? I always thought it […]
On August 4, Pastor Katy preaches on the story of Daniel and the Lions found in Daniel 6. The story of Daniel is the story of a man whose life has not turned out like he anticipated. As a teenager he’d been swept into exile when the Babylonians conquered his homeland. He acclimated to life […]
On July 28, Pastor Jim preaches on the story of David and Goliath found in 1 Samuel 17. The image of the boy dropping a giant to his knees is an appealing one. We love the underdog, the little guy, at least in theory. The story is rather brutal. After Goliath fell like a sack […]
