What's Happening this Sunday?

Small Group Bible Study

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 This Sunday

Luke 12:4-12

“I tell you my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that can do nothing more. But I will warn you whom to fear; fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him! Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten in God's sight. 7 But even the hairs of your head are all counted. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.

READ MORE

"And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God; but whoever denies me before others will be denied before the angels of God. And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not worry about how you are to defend yourselves or what you are to say; for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that very hour what you ought to say."

Speaker: Pastor Elaine

Message Topic: Focus on Jesus; he has your back.

Music

Listen to one of our newer songs.

This song reminds us of some of the ways God has shown his deep and abiding love for us, while leaving room for us to remember the things we have seen him do in our lives. Perhaps this song will inspire us to tell each other our stories of the great things God has done.

Communion - the first Sunday of each month

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 DEEEPER into last week's sermon


Being People of Light

Sunday, January 11th, 2026

This sermon challenges us to consider if we are people of light or people of darkness. Listeners are encouraged to remember that any darkness in us need not be the end of the story. As we make room for the Holy Spirit in our lives, we make room for Jesus, the light of the world, to make us people of light.


Questions for Reflection (Adults)

  1. Is there light in you? Is there darkness in you?
  2. Are you a clean, shiny cup with something gross inside?
  3. If Jesus had a "woe" to you, what would it be?
  4. What are you willing to do about the darkness inside you?


Questions for Reflection (Children)

  1. The Bible talks about our bodies being full of light or full of darkness. What do you think that means?
  2. What kinds of things do people who are full of light do?
  3. What kinds of things do people who are full of darkness do?
  4. How do you think Jesus helps us be people of light?
