Have you ever ended up in a particular situation or place and thought to yourself, “How did I end up here?” I’m sure that’s what Daniel and his friends must have been thinking as they found themselves in the service of a pagan king 900 miles from home. This week we are going to answer that question. How and why did Daniel end up in Babylon? And maybe the bigger question is, “Who was responsible for their exile?” Join us as we begin our Fall Sermon Series, “The Daniel Dare: Standing up in a culture trying to stand you down.” The same message and music will be offered at both services, 9:30AM and now 11:00AM in The Lodge.

"The Daniel Dare" - Daniel 1:1-2; 2 Kings 24:1; 2 Kings 25

The Story of Esther comes to its moment of truth. Will God ultimately be with His people? Will God deliver the Jews on Judgement Day, “the 13th Day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar”? There seems to be a looming dread hanging over the people of Persia, there is just something other-worldly about these Jews. Even Haman’s wife back in chapter six could feel it. She says to Haman after that humiliating parade for Mordecai, “Mordecai is of Jewish origin, and you cannot stand against him – you will surely come to ruin!” Could it be that God, who is not named in Esther’s saga, has been with the Jews this whole time and now in these last days begins to make it clear even to their enemies? Join us on Sunday at 9:30 to learn the end of the story. Here’s a clue, be ready to sing the Doxology, really!!

"Trusting God to the End" - Esther 9:1-19

God has been turning things around. Chapter eight was filled with God’s “Reversals of Destiny” for both Esther and Mordecai. God also pronounces His Ironic justice for Haman. But He’s not done yet! As Carol Bechtel says, “This is not just a story about individuals; the fate of a whole people hangs in the balance.” And so, God doesn’t stop working and neither do Esther or Mordecai, they keep working for others. Can Haman’s edict be repealed, or will Haman still be able to accomplish his evil plot from the grave? Join us Sunday morning at 9:30AM as we discover what it means to keep on working for others even when our lives have been turned around or maybe because our lives have been turned around.

“Keep Working for Others” – Esther 8:3-17

This is your time to see the invisible hand of God turn things around. This is your time to see the faith you placed in God proofed out as God changes your circumstances. This is your time to see how God’s mysterious purposes and timing will be revealed. Chapter seven continues the reversal of destiny that began in chapter six. God’s name may not be in the Book of Esther, but this part of the story reveals that His hand most certainly is on the book of Esther and is always working.  Join us Sunday and be encouraged that even if you can’t see God at work in your current circumstance, He will Turn it Around in His time.

“Turn It Around” — Esther 7:1-8:2

In one way or another we all influence others.  It may be just a few or many.  Hopefully, our influence will have a good and positive effect on the character and personality of those around us.  Think of those you influence by your speech, attitudes, and behavior.  We may shape the lives of people we don’t even know.  If we were more intentional, imagine how we could influence people to come closer to Jesus.  In this two-part mini-series, we will learn some basic principles from how Jesus trained His disciples.

"Learning from Jesus’ Training of the Twelve” – Part 2 – Mark 8:1-9:32

“Learning from Jesus’ Training of the Twelve” – Part 1 – Mark 6:30-7:37

Learn how you can empower yourself and others to use the tools and recourses available that will help in yours and others long-term mental health.

"You Are Not Alone" - EMPOWER - I Kings 19:15-21-14 (Week 4)

LENTEN SERIES – FROM SELF TO SERVANTHOOD:  This Sunday we continue our series “Making the Turn…” This week we focus on turning, “From Self to Servanthood”. The Gospel according to Mark presents the disciples in a rather negative light. They seem to be such dolts when they say such self-centered things like James and John do in chapter 10:35-37, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask… Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.” Too often we are just like them, so how do we make the turn from self to servanthood? Let’s find out together.

“From Self to Servanthood” - Communion - Mark 10:35-45

Do you know the story of Nehemiah? He was the cupbearer for the Persian King. He was also a Jewish man who had been part of the exiled Israelite nation. That’s exactly where he would have remained, had he not taken initiative. He responded to some terrible news from Jerusalem by praying and then acting, trusting that God was with him. Will we join God in His mission by taking initiative just like Nehemiah?

We are coming to the end of summer and the end of our summer sermon series, Red Sea Rules. Sunday, we unlock rule number nine. Have you ever wondered why we go through trials and must deal with one obstacle after another in this life? The simple answer is because of sin. We live in a broken world. But God uses those obstacles and trials to build our faith and grow us into faithful disciples. The more we exercise our faith the stronger it becomes and the more faith we will have in order to deal with the next thing that Satan uses to block our path. God is faithful, His promises are abundant, and He will fulfill them all. Sometimes we just need to be patient and exercise a little faith. Join us Sunday as we also celebrate the Lord’s Supper at 9:30 AM.

This week we welcome back our friend and former pastor, Jim Lester. Yogi Berra, a baseball player for the Yankees in the 50’s and 60’s, once said “when you come to a fork in the road, take it!” Robert Frost wrote a poem about a fork in the road that he called “The Road Not Taken.” A fork in the road implies a choice. How will following Jesus on our road of life make a difference in how we live, the places we go, and the things we do?

Join us Sunday as we reveal Red Sea Rule #7. When have you truly felt the presence of God? Has it been a while? God is with us just as He was with Israel on their journey out of Egypt and now preparing to move through and beyond their greatest obstacles, The Red Sea and Pharaoh’s army. You can feel His presence on a regular and ongoing basis because God is with us and enfolds us into His loving arms, especially in times of trouble. We will learn four ways we can draw near to God in order to recognize and feel His presence more fully.

Women have been disproportionately affected by the stress and disruption of the pandemic. Yet in a prophetic way, it’s women that have also been responsible for holding things together in our homes, offices, and health care systems as they work feverishly to adjust to the world and work of restrictions and remedies. When Israel is faced with a plague of its own and a fearful King—it’s the women whom God uses to subvert and overcome the power of Egypt in order to ultimately save His people. On Sunday, we celebrate our mother’s and all the women in our lives who are used by God to show us His love by their faith and courage in Him.

Do you know that a cross was the Roman Empires most heinous instrument of torture? It was reserved for the worst of criminals and yet we find Jesus, an innocent man, God Himself hanging from a tree for crimes He didn’t commit. In this darkest moment one would simply expect Jesus to endure it, satisfy the wrath of God and move on to resurrection. But Jesus doesn’t just endure and move on. Jesus extends love, grace and compassion even in His suffering. What would it mean for us to accept Jesus not just as Savior but also as Lord and do the same?
