Please join us as we continue our sermon series, “The Wonderful World of Jesus” where we explore the biblical message of Jesus through the lens of some of the most popular animated movies of all time. Today, we focus on the animated classic ‘Frozen’ and take a look at some of the wisdom that can be found in Proverbs.

In this sermon, Pastor Clayton shares how the book of Proverbs is wisdom from God to help us know that we are not to ‘rely on our own understanding’ or hide away and face our fears on our own. Instead, we have a God who is always with us, willing to guide us and comfort us. God also tells us that we should share our struggles with our trusted loved ones so that they can help us bear our burdens because our community reminds us that we are never truly alone. When we expose our fear and allow the love of Christ and community to transform it, we are unfrozen from that fearful space and are free to let it go and live as God called us: to be renewed in body, mind and spirit and not be afraid.

Please join us as we begin a new sermon series, “The Wonderful World of Jesus” where we will explore the biblical message of Jesus through the lens of some of the most popular animated movies of all time. We begin this series with the animated classic ‘The Lion King’ and we’ll take a look at some of the most important words Jesus gave to his disciples and find parallels between the stories.

In this sermon, Pastor Clayton helps us understand that by serving our community and our neighbors, we can truly discover what God put us here to do. The greatness that God calls us to belongs in serving the world. It’s about emptying ourselves of our ego and status and instead serving the needs of our neighbors.

“Fishers of men,” “fishes and loaves,” “cast your nets to the other side:” the Gospels are full of fishing stories that have more to teach us than might first meet the eye. This summer we are diving into discipleship and the joy of the outdoors as we discover what Jesus and his friends have to teach us about the faith.

Please join us as we continue our sermon series called “Gone Fishin’” and focus on the story of Jesus calming the storm. From this story, Pastor Clayton shares that in the storm of our struggles, Jesus climbs into the boat to calm the wind and waves and remind us that God is with us! We hold on to the faith that we are not alone in our suffering. God can give us a calm and peace that is beyond understanding.

Please join us as we continue our sermon series called “Gone Fishin’” and focus on the story of Jesus feeding 5000. From this story, Pastor Allison reminds us how important it is to focus on what we do have, instead of focusing on what we don’t have. When we “share our catch” with those in need, we are caring and helping a multitude. We remember that if we are willing to share (our time, resources, gifts, and more) God will multiply the impact of that many more times than we can possibly imagine.
