Thoughts Between Two Difficult Years

At the beginning of 2021 we read Hebrews 12:7-17 together, which speaks of God teaching, training and disciplining us. Our image should not be that of an angry father, but of Jesus Christ who came to be with us and show us the way. How can we follow HIm this coming year?

Walking in the Light

Today we conclude our Advent/Christmas series on the Light that came into the world with Jesus. We look at 1 John 1:5-8 which speaks of how we can walk in the light in our lives today as followers of Jesus.

Christmas Eve 2020: The star of Bethlehem leads to worship

Tonight we follow the Magi as they follow the star, as told in Matthew 2. Their purpose was to worship the newborn King of the Jews.

Fourth Advent: The Light that shines on all people

Today we read Luke's version of the Christmas story in his Gospel. We focus on how the Light shines on all people, as part of God's work of reconciling all things to HImself, and how that gives us hope and a reason to live in dark times.

Third Advent 2020: Jesus is the Light of the World

Dan Kim leads us in understanding how the Light of the World helps us through the darkest of times with verses from the Gospel of John.

Second Sunday of Advent: Psalms 42 and 43

Today we read Psalms 42 and 43, which speak of God sending His light and Truth to guide us into His presence.

Arise, Shine, for your Light has Come

This is the First Sunday of Advent, 2020. In these dark times we wait (again) with longing for the coming of the LIght of the world. Our Advent services will focus on that theme. Today Andy Kim leads us in reflections on Isaiah 60:1-3.

The Last Word from Romans

Today we conclude our series on Paul's letter to the Romans. We read the last verses, chapter 16:25-27. How were Iris and Nereus strengthened by this letter and Paul's gospel? How can we be strengthened in these days in which we need strengthening so much?

Paul's Doctrine of Unity

We continue with the concluding words of Paul in his letter to the Romans. He addresses the issue of division and obstacles among the believers. He also advises "avoiding" those who cause division. What should we do with that advice today?

Paul's Three Appeals

Today Dan Kim leads us through Romans 15:29-33, the beginning of the close of the letter. Paul gets personal here about his life as a servant of Christ, and appeals to his listeners/readers to model their lives after his.
