This Sunday, Pastor Jon Tyson kicked off our Fall sermon series, Formed, where we will be journeying through the key stages of a believerās transformation process from dead in their sin to being formed into the image of Christ and sent out as His image-bearers. We are all being formed in one way or another into someone, and Pastor Jon called us to begin this season by leaning into intentional, not accidental, formation in the way of Jesus. Out of His love for us, Christ invites us into a life long journey of being transformed into His image by His power, not our own.

This Sunday, Pastor Jon Tyson closed out our Come & See series with Jesusā invitation in Matthew 11 to come to Him. After spending a whole Summer unpacking the seven I AM statements of Jesus and the signs He performed to back up His claims in the Gospel of John, Pastor Jon extended Jesusā call to come and receive everything our souls need in Him. In a world full of pressure and exhaustion, Jesus is the only one who truly cares for our souls, offering us true rest and satisfaction at His table of grace and mercy.

This Sunday Pastor Suzy Silk continued our Summer sermon series on the words and deeds of Jesus in Johnās Gospel with a teaching on the ultimate sign Jesus preformed, His Resurrection. In John 2, Jesus declares that He is the new temple, meaning He is the new primary way for people to access God. It is only through belief in His words and following Him that we can have a relationship with God and spend eternity with Him. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus demonstrates that He has full authority over life and death and is the only way to true, eternal life.

This Sunday, Pastor Suzy Silk continued our Come & See sermon series with a teaching from John 11 on Jesusā sixth miraculous sign ā raising Lazarus from the dead. Similar to Lazarusā story, we are deeply loved by Jesus, but spiritually dead and unable to save ourselves. Yet, Jesus was willing to die for us and save us from our sins and transgressions. By hearing and receiving the good news of salvation, we, as children of God, are brought back to life in Christ. Just like Lazarus, our new lives in Christ become our defining characteristic and should ultimately point to glorifying God. When troubles arise in the world we live in, we can rest in Jesusā loving presence, knowing that we are deeply loved by the God of all creation who has conquered the grave.

This Sunday, Pastor Jon continued our Come & See series by teaching through the healing of the man born blind in John 9. We live in a world obsessed with trying to see things rightly. From identity and sexuality, to justice and sustainability, humanity has looked to all forms of science, religion, and psychology to explain the world around us and the longings inside us, but everything seems to come up short. In this story, we see Jesus claim to be the light of the world, the only one able to give the sight we are longing for.

This Sunday, Pastor Tim Brown continued our Come & See series with a teaching on Jesusā feeding of the 5,000 in John 6. This sign concludes with Jesus declaring, āI am the bread of life,ā emphasizing that Jesus does not only provide physical nourishment, but offers eternal, spiritual sustenance. While all other sources of fulfillment will ultimately fail, His true bread provides lasting satisfaction.

This Sunday, Pastor Ralph Castillo continued our Come & See sermon series with a teaching on Jesusā healing of a noblemanās son in John 4. The story of this sign hinges on steps of faith taken by a desperate father as he moves from despair to hope, seeking a sign to seeking Jesus, and finally from unbelief to belief. Breaking down the noblemanās journey, Pastor Ralph encouraged us that no matter the circumstances we find ourselves in, there is always an invitation before us to take a step of faith.

This week, Pastor Jon Tyson continued our Come & See series by teaching on John 5:1-18, where Jesus heals a man at the pool of Bethesda. This controversial sign is still relevant in our world today, and calls us to ask the question, who has the authority and the ability to bring healing to humanity? Whether itās physical healing, healing of our hearts, or healing in the world around us, we donāt have to earn it on our own strength or efforts. Jesus calls us to surrender to Him, receive His healing, and join in His mission to restore the broken world.

This Sunday, Pastor Keithen Schwahn brought us into part two of our "Come & See" sermon series with a teaching from John 2:1-12 on Jesusā first miraculous signāturning water into wine. Reinforcing the first half of the āCome & Seeā series, anchored in what Jesus said about Himself through His seven āI amā statements, the second half of this series focuses on what Jesus did by considering His seven miraculous signs as recorded in the Book of John. Though the hour of His death had not yet come, Pastor Keithen called us to consider that Jesus was looking beyond the present moment to His own wedding in eternity, and the price that would have to be paid for that celebration to come to pass. Jesus gives this sign to give a glimpse of the joy, union, and abundance offered to all who will believe in Him.

This Sunday morning, Pastor Jon Tyson continued our āCome and Seeā sermon series with a teaching out of John 11 on Jesusā declaration, āI am the Resurrection and the Life.ā As Christians, we can stand firm on this central claim of the Christian faith, knowing that we no longer have to fear judgment because judgment already happened on the cross. We donāt have to fear death because of Christās resurrection. We can experience a taste of the life and peace that Jesus promises us now, and join God in the renewal and healing of shalom in the world today.

This week, Pastor Suzy Silk continued our āCome and Seeā sermon series by teaching on Jesus as the Good Shepherd out of John 10:1-42. With this statement, Jesus directly references the prophecy that there will be a coming Messiah who will lead Godās people and that God Himself will shepherd them. In doing so, Jesus not only claims to be the best leader, but God Himself, demanding a response to either reject Him as a crazy man or follow Him as a sheep into the fold of God.

This week, Pastor Ashley Anderson continued our āCome and Seeā sermon series by teaching on Jesus as the door in John 10:1-10. Jesus makes a radical claim to be the only entry point through which all people can access God and experience abundant life through Him.
-
This Sunday, Pastor Suzy Silk continued our Come & See sermon Series with a teaching on Jesusā I AM statement, āI am the light of the worldā out of John 7 and 8. Each of Jesusā I AM claims were incredibly radical for the original audience, and because we live in a world where light is a resource readily available to us, we can easily miss the weight Jesusā words should still carry for us today. Jesus calls us to believe that He is the true source of light and to follow Him into whole life discipleship. When we walk in step with Jesus, we are able to possess His light, be transformed into children of light, and share in being the light of the world with our Savior.

This Sunday, Pastor Jon continued our new Come & See series with a teaching on Jesusā first āI AMā statement, āI am the bread of life.ā Jesus has shaped history and radically transformed lives, but our modern understanding of Him often leaves us bored and disinterested. The Christian religion has been reduced to following rules and restraining desire, but following Jesus is meant to be a life of passion, freedom, and deep satisfaction.

This week, Pastor Jon Tyson and Pastor Suzy Silk wrapped up our sermon series on Controversial Faith with a Q&A to answer some of the common questions and objections skeptics and seekers have regarding Jesus, the Scriptures, and living as a Christian in our modern world. Pastor Jon framed this time with 1 Peter 3:15-16, and claimed it is more important than ever for Christians to deal with their controversial faith.

This Sunday, Pastor Jon continued our Controversial Faith series with a teaching on Biblical sexuality. We live in sexually confusing and chaotic times, and as we begin to examine the effects the secular sexual ethic has on individuals and our culture at large, instead of flourishing, we find decay, pain, and brokenness. However, we are called to honor God with our bodies by faithfully stewarding our sexuality, because we were bought with a price, and one day we will be with Christ forever in a soul satisfying union that is a fulfillment of every desire weāve ever had.

This Sunday Pastor Suzy Silk continued our Controversial Faith series by asking the question: How can a good God allow evil and suffering in the world? The tension between the sovereignty of God and the realities of suffering often hold people back from experiencing and accepting the person of Jesus, or eventually drive people away from Him. In an effort to address this problem of pain, Pastor Suzy laid out five reasons not to turn away from Jesus when faced with evil and suffering.
