What's Happening this Sunday?

Small Group Bible Study

Most Sundays, join us for about an hour after lunch to talk about the sermon and the day's main Scripture passage. Questions are encouraged.

Scripture for Sunday, Oct. 25

is Luke 22:35-38

He said to them, “When I sent you out without a purse, bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “No, not a thing.” He said to them, “But now, the one who has a purse must take it, and likewise a bag. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one. For I tell you, this scripture must be fulfilled in me, ‘And he was counted among the lawless,’ and indeed what is written about me is being fulfilled.”

READ MORE

They said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.” He replied, “It is enough.”

Speaker: David McCleary

Message Topic: We are invited to carry on Jesus' mission in the world. The good news is that we aren't expected to do any of it in our own power or strength.

Music

Listen to one of our newer songs.

This song not only declares that our God is an awesome God, but it clearly sets out why that is so.

Communion - this Sunday

Communion is a symbolic reenactment of the last supper Jesus shared with his disciples. The bread (gluten-free) and juice symbolize his death, point to his resurrection, and remind us that through his death he defeated the power of sin and death over us. Everyone is free to choose for themselves whether to participate or not.


DIG DEEPER into one of our recent sermons


Called to Serve

Sunday, October 11, 2026

This sermon invites us to consider the difference between the world's definition of greatness and that modeled by Jesus. Listeners are challenged to be great in our everyday lives like Jesus was great.

Questions for Reflection (Adults)

  1. In what areas of your life are you most tempted to seek recognition, control, or special treatment rather than serve others?
  2. Where has God already placed opportunities for you to serve—in your family, workplace, church, or community? What might humble service look like in one of those settings?
  3. The sermon reminds us that we cannot become like Jesus through our own wisdom or strength alone; God helps us grow. Where do you need God's help to become more humble, compassionate, or willing to serve?
  4. What is one small, practical act of service they hope to put into practice this week.

Questions for Reflection (Children)

  1. Jesus said that the greatest person should be like someone who serves others. What do you think Jesus meant?
  2. Jesus helped people who were sick, fed hungry people, and showed kindness to others. What do these things teach us about Jesus?
  3. Why do you think Jesus wants us to care about others instead of always trying to be the most important person?
  4. How can you follow Jesus' example when you play with friends, work on a team, or help at home?
