Sermons from January 2025
Holy Habits
Join us for worship as we continue the Foundations & Futures series with a focus on spiritual growth through holy habits. This week, we explore Luke 4:14-21, where Jesus models the importance of worship and Scripture as foundational practices for living out God’s mission. How can spiritual habits like prayer, worship, and study shape our faith and prepare us to bring good news to the world? Let’s discover together the power of holy habits to deepen our relationship with God…
Where You Are: Embracing the Familiar
This week, we begin our new sermon series, Foundations and Futures, where we’ll explore how God grounds us in faith and calls us to step boldly into the future. In this first message, we focus on the familiar places and gifts God has provided, inviting us to recognize opportunities to serve and grow within our community. Together, we’ll discover how even ordinary moments can reveal extraordinary purpose. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:1-11; John 2:1-11 (NRSVue)
Expectations & Affirmations
Are you navigating doubts about your purpose? In this week’s worship, we’re exploring how affirmations—especially those from God—help us embrace our identity and calling. Through the story of Jesus’ baptism, we’ll consider how moments of affirmation can guide us forward, even when we’re unsure of the path. Scripture: Luke 3:15-17, 21-22 (NRSVue)
Protesting Fear: Choosing Another Road
The magi’s journey was more than following a star—it was an act of courage and faith. By choosing another road, they resisted fear and trusted God’s guidance to lead them forward. As we step into a new year, what might it mean for us to protest fear and embrace the path God sets before us? Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 (NRSVue)
