Speakers: William Osen

Message Topic: Testimony to God's faithfulness

Music

Listen to one of our newer songs.

The minor key of this song gives voice to our lament for all that is wrong in our world. The plea of the chorus, "Have mercy, have mercy; Renew us, restore us," is a fitting cry for this time in history no matter where we live.

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


Preparing for the End

Sunday, March 8, 2026

This sermon emphasizes that discipleship is not about anxious striving, but is about surrendering control and allowing the Holy Spirit to shape us into the likeness of Christ. Rather than living in fear of being shut out, we are invited to make space for God's Spirit, trusting that life formed by the Holy Spirit is what makes us part of God's family.

Questions for Reflection (Adults)

  1. When you hear Jesus' words about the narrow door, what emotions or reactions arise in you - fear, curiosity, resistance, hope? Why do you think that is?
  2. The sermon talks about how fear can trigger "fight, flight, or freeze" responses. How have you seen fear shape your faith or spiritual life at times?
  3. Jesus speaks about belonging to the household of God. What does it mean to you to be part of God's family rather than simply a visitor to faith?
  4. The sermon describes discipleship as becoming people who look like Jesus. In what ways is Jesus currently shaping your character or actions?

Questions for Reflection (Children)

  1. Have you ever felt really afraid of something? What did it feel like in your body or in your thoughts?
  2. The Holy Spirit helps us become more like Jesus. What are some ways people who are like Jesus might act toward others?
  3. When you feel worried or scared, what is one thing you can do to remember that God is with you?
  4. What do you think it means to be part of God's family? What might it feel like?
