Two, Three, Christ, Matthew 18:15-20
Rev. Elizabeth Hurd preaching
At the end of this very practical lesson on how to handle conflict, Jesus reminds that disciples that wherever two or three are gathered together, He is there. Remembering that whenever and wherever we gather together in the name of Christ, that He is with us, helps us to keep relationship, respect, and love at the center of all we do, and that our goal when conflict arises, is the reconciliation of the Body of Christ.

Game Plan, Acts 2:44-47
Rev. Elizabeth Hurd preaching
For Fall Kickoff Sunday, we're diving into Acts to see the very beginning of the Church. What were the traits of the Church, in its earliest days? Holding all things in common, spending time in temple, breaking bread together, praising God, and giving to those who were in need. How does this Game Plan for the Church inspire us today? Join us for this Fall Kickoff Worship, and then afterward for an Church Fall Kickoff Tailgate!

My Way vs. God's Way, Jonah 3:10-4:11
Rev. Elizabeth Hurd preaching
After Jonah (reluctantly) follows God's call to Nineveh, he's surprised! The people of Nineveh actually listen to him and repent, and God forgives them! This makes Jonah angry. God calls his anger out but also cares for him and tends to him. This week reminds us that God's way is frustrating and unfair and sometimes includes the people we think it shouldn't. It also reminds us that, just as God has grace for others, God also has grace for us when we get it wrong.

The Mind of Christ, Philippians 2:1-13
Rev. Elizabeth Hurd preaching
Today is The Church Has Left the Building and we are talking about what it means to be humble, as Christ is humble. Part of being a Christian is having the mind of Christ, which means we serve the world with humility and grace, while centering the needs of others. We are transformed by God's work within us, so that we can go out into the world to do work for God.
