The Great Ends of the Church (Part 1)

Matthew 5:13-16

Sunday, September 8, 2024

The first great end of the Church is the proclamation of the gospel for the salvation of humankind. The church is called to proclaim the gospel, to share the good news of God. And we do this not only with what we proclaim, but also in how we proclaim it.

Current Series: The Great Ends of the Church

More than one hundred years ago our denomination adopted a set of six "great ends of the Church," a succinct but comprehensive outline of the Church's purpose in the world. So many years later, these statements still remind us of the full depth and breadth of what it means to be the body of Christ. It is an extraordinary challenge to keep all six of these great ends in focus in our life and work as a congregation, but they are essential to discovering who we are meant to be and what we are called to do.

Exodus (Part 6)

Exodus 13:17-22 & Hebrews 12:1-3

Sunday, August 18, 2024

After ten brutal plagues, Pharaoh finally relents and allows Israel to leave their captivity and travel to the wilderness to worship Yahweh, the God of their ancestors. God goes in front of them by day as a pillar of cloud and by night as a pillar of fire, not only to show them the way, but also to ensure that they do not lose heart and turn around. God still guides us today, both to show us the way and to help us remain faithful.
