- Jun 6, 2021Rest and RememberRest and Remember(Please note, Pastor Troy's ear microphone dies with about 6:30 left in the video. You can still catch the rest of the audio if you turn up your volume!)A decreasing number of people attend worship services every week. A growing number of people never attend worship services at all. Why is that? Many people assume worship is something they have to do for God, one more task they need to check off the to-do list. And in a world where we're constantly pursuing rest, doing more work doesn't sound overly attractive. And yet, when we see God's command to worship, we're reminded that he doesn't want us to do something for him in worship. He wants to do something for us! Not to work, but to rest! To rest, and remember!

- Apr 25, 2021The Beauty of Being SheepThe Beauty of Being SheepIf someone tells you, "You're a sheep" these days, it's usually more derogatory than complimentary. There's even a term "sheeple" for people who follow someone or something blindly, without giving it deeper examination or thought. But today, on Good Shepherd Sunday, Jesus reminds us of the beauty of being sheep. Not because sheep are all that great, but because sheep have a Shepherd!
- Apr 18, 2021I’ll Believe It When I Hear ItI’ll Believe It When I Hear ItThese days, people are skeptical of fake news and other false ideas that get passed off as truth. So it's not surprising that many people demand, "I'll believe it when I see it." However, God's Word today shows us that sometimes, seeing isn't believing. When it comes to our faith in Jesus, rather than saying, "I'll believe it when I see it!" we can confidently say, "I'll believe it when I hear it!"

That's how Jesus' disciples were feeling on Easter Sunday evening. But then the risen Jesus appeared to them! And what was the first thing he said to them? "Peace be with you." It was more than just a polite greeting. It was a revelation of what he'd come to give them! And because of Jesus' resurrection, you can have that same peace too!

Unfortunately, the things we put our hope in are often less than certain--more of a desire or a wish than a certainty. And yet, there is one thing that is certain, and one thing that can give us certain hope, even in uncertain times! Watch Pastor Troy's Easter Sunday sermon, "Certain Is Better" to find out what that is!
