“Sure Signs of a Maturing Faith” – March 16, 2025

“Sure Signs of a Maturing Faith” Text: Philippians 3:15-4:1 For the Christian, growth is not optional. Pastor Eric Larsen joins us again this week and talks about what it means to mature in the faith. The mature Christian knows what belongs in their life, and knows what needs to be left behind. The key to maturity is having a dynamic, authentic, and active relationship with the Jesus who changes everything and brings everything under His will.…

“Image of God: Part 2” Text: Colossians 1:3-23 Last week, we explored what it means to be created in the image of God. This week, we look at Jesus, who is the clearest picture and articulation of who God is. As Paul says in his letter to the Colossians, Jesus is both the firstborn of the dead and the firstborn of creation; fully human and fully divine. We share in the promise of His resurrection but also share in being image-bearers as well. To know who God is is to look at Christ, the One who loved us, who cared for us, who entered into our existence. We can also look upon our neighbor and see how God continues to reveal Himself through the various people He brings into our life.…

“Image of God: Part 1” Text: James 3:9, Genesis 1:24-31;5:1,9:6 Scripture tells us again and again that humanity was created in the image of God. Over the next two weeks, Pastor Tim will be talking about this and what it means for us. We have a natural tendency to apply this inwardly to ourselves, but the image of God is not just something that we as individuals hope to reflect; the image of God is also something we are called to see in each other.…

Letters of God’s Love: 1 John 3:1-24 Text: 1 John 3:1-24 In today’s passage, John addresses those in the early Church who believed that the way we live our lives does not matter. He asserts that what Christ has done in our life has ongoing implications for who we are to be and how we are to live – it should compel us to forsake the the habits and patterns of sin that cause injury and demarcation in our world, in our churches, and one another.…

Letters of God’s Love: 1 John 2:7-17 Text: 1 John 2:7-17 As we discovered last week, the theme of God’s love is not exclusive to the New Testament, but it is a foundational message of the early church. We begin a month-long series based on the letters of John entitled “Letters of God’s Love.” In this first passage, John stresses that being a Christian is defined by loving one another, and he warns that God’s love cannot be found in those whose love is placed elsewhere.…

On this Sunday where we read about the baptism of Jesus, we recognize that God’s greatness and His voice and lordship over the Earth is found in the person of Jesus Christ, to whom we also ascribe all glory, honor, and praise as the King of Kings and our Messiah.

Psalm 72 – January 5, 2025

Text: Psalm 72 We start the new calendar year by studying Psalm 72, which was a “coronation psalm” used for the leaders of Israel. It expresses a desire and hope for peace and righteousness in the land and uses hyperbolic language which far outlasts what is capable with a single human ruler. In this way, the psalm also embodies the voice of a hope for a Messiah, and Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of this hope.…

“Who Will Intercede?” – December 29, 2024

“Who Will Intercede?” Text: 1 Samuel 2:12-26, Luke 2:41-52 As we read the story about Samuel, Eli, and Eli’s sons, Eli’s question is left unanswered; who will intercede for you if you have sinned against the Lord? The Gospel of Luke presents Jesus as the answer to this question, having been described as priest-like in the same way as Samuel was. He helps make right our relationship with God, acting as mediator wherever there is conflict or reconciliation is needed. This opportunity for redemption through Jesus is not accomplished in a magical way but instead in a way that compels us to live differently among God’s creation and grow in wisdom and stature.…

“Changed in the Waiting: Peace” Text: Luke 1:39-55 We close this advent season with Mary’s song following her meeting with her relative Elizabeth, who was expecting the child that would become John the Baptist. Mary’s words are both a statement of faith and prophetically tell of how God will raise up those who are oppressed.

Text: Mark 12:1-27 In today’s reading from the Gospel of Mark, Jesus is recognized as one with integrity and a sense of imparitiality, yet the Pharisees and Herodians try to trap Jesus with questions of loyality to Rome, the controlling power in the world. In the current day, we are in the midst of a political season where the powers of this world similarly try to pull us in with rhetoric that is designed to make us hate one side or the other. As Christians, we have to be people who remember that our identity as who we are is found in Christ, and not in an either/or party system.…

In this passage, Jesus curses a fig tree that looks healthy but does not produce, despite being out of season. This fig tree represents the brokenness of what happens when who we are as the people of God is about power, wealth, and influence instead of being aligned to the mission that God has for us and serving as an example to the nations.…

Text: Mark 10:46-52 Throughout our study of the book of Mark, Jesus often shows that the grace of God moves in powerful ways in and among the people who have been dealt a bad hand in life. In today’s passage, Jesus heals a blind beggar named Bartimaeus and is called the “Son of David” for the first time. Just like Jesus’ disciples, who left everything to follow Him, Bartimaeus leaves his cloak on the side of the road to follow Jesus. Can we also set aside what prevents us from following Jesus and letting him be the primary focus of our hearts?…

Text: Mark 10:32-45 As Jesus foretells His death and resurrection while approaching Jerusalem, He also explains to His disciples that one must become a servant of all to become great. In learning what it is to be obedient and embrace holy living, we find that our lives are inextricably linked to the people we come into contact with whom God places before us. Part of God’s holy sanctifying work in our lives as believers is the realization that God loves each one of these individuals and lays a claim upon us to respond in openness, vulnerability, and love to them.…

Text: Mark 10:1-16 As we continue through the Gospel of Mark, Jesus is asked about divorce by the Pharisees. In the context of John the Baptist’s death which resulted from his disapproval of Herod’s divorce and remarriage, this question can be seen as an attempt to get Jesus in trouble as well. Marriage is one of God’s preferred analogies about His relationship with His people, appearing frequently throughout Scripture. In this passage, Jesus’s words can be seen as an illustration of God’s grace just like God’s references to marriage is about His love. When we look for ways in which we can put grace into practice that reflect the characteristics of God, we should start with the very commitments we’ve made to the ones around us.…

This follows the story of the disciples not being able to perform a similar act, and later arguing who among them was the greatest.

Text: Mark 9:14-37 In the story of Jesus healing a boy with convulsions, the boy’s father serves as a model of faith. He is someone with questions and concerns but despite this, Jesus accepts his faith with the words “I believe; help my unbelief.” We don’t have to have all of the answers before we come to God or be sanctified and freed from all of our sins before we ask for His saving grace.
