Ending Well: It's Not Now How You Start But How You Finish
As the church year draws to a close, we are reminded that just as everything has a beginning, it also has an end. We are finite beings who live in a finite world. In today’s message, Pastor Phil shares why it is important to recognize how everything is temporary and what that means for how we live.

Real Faith: It Matters WHAT You Believe
Today we celebrate Reformation Sunday. It was on October 31, 1517, the Eve of All Saints Day, when Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the Wittenburg Church Doors. This small action did not seem like much, but it would spark the Reformation. Today, we celebrate the event of the Reformation, but even more, we celebrate the truth which the Reformation uncovered. That truth is that we are saved by God’s grace which is received through faith and not through our good deeds.
Our message today is “Real Faith: It Matters WHAT You Believe.”
The text is Romans 3:19-28

Living with Loss: The Necessity of Forgiveness
We continued our “Living with Loss” message series as we explored the necessity of forgiveness. Oftentimes we experience loss because another person hurt us, wronged us, abused us, lied to us, or betrayed us. Our natural response is anger which turns into bitterness. We think that revenge and retribution will make us feel better. But God puts forth an alternative to bitterness and that is forgiveness which truly leads us to abundance.

Living with Loss: Not Alone
Maybe you have experienced a loss. Maybe you think that God has abandoned you. You are not alone. Many of the Psalms are psalms of lament where the Psalmist questions God's presence and love. It just might be that through our loss and pain that joy is birthed.
