The Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20)

Making peace can be difficult, and sometimes seeking to make peace even creates more or different conflicts. How does this all work? What is the peacemaker to do, or not to do? What does it mean to be a peacemaker? One thing for sure, our world NEEDS peacemakers. Join us!

Ted and Renate Rubish have retired from oversea's ministry and Ted will be preaching today. Join us!

What's in your heart? Is it pure? Can it be pure? These are important questions because Jesus said if a person has a pure heart, they will see God. The opposite would mean a person without a pure heart will not see God. Let's get to the heart of the matter together!

God's mercy and grace are two sides of the same coin, without which no one could be forgiven by God and saved by God to eternal life. What's the difference between them? How do they impact my faith and life? Do I have to be merciful in order to receive God's mercy, or not? Join us as we celebrate God's truth together.

Jesus said every believer's hunger and thirst for righteousness will be satisfied by the Lord. What is righteousness? When will that be? Should we do anything about it now? Join us as we discern what Jesus said and meant for us to be and to do.

Blessed are the meek. What does that mean? Meekness today is not a positive virtue in people's minds. What did Jesus have in mind when he said it? Join us for insights and a positive response to Christ as we look forward to the inheritance to come!

Mourning and rejoicing; how do both fit together at the same time in our lives? How emotional should we be knowing we're sinners who have been forgiven by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ? Is mourning our sin actually helpful for evangelism and our spiritual growth? Join us!

We'll be introducing the Jesus' sermon on the mount this Sunday morning with special focus on the critical meaning of the first beatitude in v. 3. What does it mean to be “poor in spirit” and therefore “blessed” by the Lord? Is it a one time recognition for salvation or a lifetime of faith in Christ? Join us!

Jesus called his disciples not to follow a religion, a principle, or ideology but to follow HIM. It was personal and relational. Nothing has changed since then. What does it mean to be called by Jesus? How does it remain personal and not become ritual or habit? Join us!
