Sermon Title: Patience, Kindness, and Goodness

Scripture: Ephesians 2:3-7

Description: The fruits of love, joy, and peace gave us a window into our connection with God. Patience, kindness, and goodness give us a chance to see how God is growing us in our relationship with each other.

Sermon Title: Love, Joy, and Peace

Scripture: 1 John 4:7-16

Description: It is no mistake that love finds itself at the front of the line in the Fruit of the Spirit, as this is repeatedly the facet of God and sign of a faithful life that Paul elevates. Joy and peace are also ones that are deeply rooted in our connection to and focus on God.

Sermon Title: Bearing Fruit

Scripture: Galatians 5:22-25

Description: We began the year exploring spiritual practices that help us better recognize the presence and activity of God in our lives. But how do we know if we’re growing? How do we know if we’re fulfilling our original calling to be fruitful.

Sermon Title: Touching Jesus

Scripture: Matthew 25:34-40

Description: Jesus has been raised from the dead! He appears unexpectedly two disciples on the road to Emmaus. Later he shows up behind locked doors, to the surprise and delight of the disciples. These appearances continue for 50 days, and then Jesus ascends to the Father just before Pentecost.
Is Jesus still around? Is the only access we have to him through prayer?

Sermon Title: Christ the Lord is Risen Today

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:19-26

Description: By Friday evening, it looked like the forces of evil had won and God had lost. Sin and death had done their worst, and as a result, the Son of God was dead and buried. But on Sunday morning, it became clear that the power of life and love were stronger.

Celebrate the Resurrection of Christ or honor a loved one with a beautiful lily. We have a limited number of deluxe 6-inch lilies available for $12 each.

If you would like to dedicate a lily in honor or memory of someone special, please provide their name and specify whether it is in their honor or memory.

Lilies will be ready for pickup after the final service on Easter Sunday.

Sermon Title: What Wondrous Love Is This

Scripture: John 3:16, Romans 5:6-8

Description: The answer to the question, “Why did Jesus have to die?” is incomplete if we only seek to understand the mechanics. The crucifixion is infused with the most important message of all time: God loves you.
