  • The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 11

    The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 11
    Jan 25 2026
    In John 11, we meet Jesus addressing a very human concern – death. His friend Lazarus has died, and facing an opportunity to confront our most raw vulnerability, our own personal fate – Jesus shows His power over even death. In Luke 16, Jesus told the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, the crescendo of that parable being when the rich man shares his deepest desire for his brothers to be saved from the terrible fate of separation from God, Abraham responds, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ This would turn out to be remarkably accurate. There were many mourners in Bethany that day, friends of Lazarus, who knew of his passing and participated in his burial. But when Lazarus stepped out of the tomb they refused to believe. Join us this Sunday as we explore this familiar story – and see a Jesus who meets us in our need, and addresses our deepest concerns. -Pastor Nate Roschen

    The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 10
    Jan 18 2026
    In John 10 we find Jesus going into detail to describe for us, through a metaphor people of His day would have felt and understood, the way He thinks of our relationship. He described Himself as a good shepherd, one who cares well for His sheep. And what we find here, has the power to change us, and to change the way we see Jesus. We find in the metaphor of John 10, a nearly equal number of things that Jesus is and is not. He affirms that there are things a false shepherd, or a hired hand would do – that He would never do. But we also find a number of examples of selfless ways our shepherd will watch over us, care for us, protect us – that are stunning. No other god behaves this way. No other god even attempts to paint a picture like this. Come and join us, as we learn about the best shepherd together. -Pastor Nate Roschen

  • The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 9

    The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 9
    Jan 4 2026
    As we return the Gospel of John after this season of advent, we find Jesus restoring a man’s sight who had been blind from birth. There is a great deal to glean from this passage. Jesus heals this man with a very unique and interesting method. He miraculously heals this man on a Sabbath day, which creates tension with the religious authorities. Finally, Jesus teaches the man he has healed that He came to bring sight to the blind, but also to make the sighted spiritually blind. Why does Jesus heal as He does? What lessons can we learn from how Jesus prioritizes healing of those in need on Sabbath days? Jesus confronts our nature, and shows us what we should emphasize during the course of our lives. Join us as we explore another important story from the life and ministry of Jesus. -Pastor Nate Roschen

  • Love Our Neighbors, Know Their Names Luke 10, 1 Corinthians 13

    Love Our Neighbors, Know Their Names Luke 10, 1 Corinthians 13
    Dec 21 2025
    The advent of Jesus Christ is the embodiment of John 3:16. God so loved the world – and so… Christ came to earth. His advent is the manifestation of God’s love for the world. But we must not allow our understanding of God’s love to remain merely at such a large-scale. God’s love for the world was expressed in many small, private, and personal ways. Over the course of His time among us – Christ loved the world, yes, but He loved people. He learned their names, their stories. If we are to do the same – loving our neighbors – we must know their names. Join us as we explore Jesus’ personal and compassionate love for the individuals that make up His creation! -Pastor Nate Roschen

  • Advent 2025: God Moved into the Neighborhood Joy & Pain – Isaiah 53

    Advent 2025: God Moved into the Neighborhood Joy & Pain – Isaiah 53
    Dec 14 2025
    There may be no other time of the year where the difference between happiness and joy is more evident. Happiness, as I’m sure you’ve learned, is circumstantial, derived from our experience. Joy is something else entirely, derived from a knowledge of our relationship with God – and His love. This joy is hard-won. Christ earned an eternal joy for all those who look to Him as Lord and Savior at the cross and the resurrection. But this joy was glimpsed, certainly, at Christmas. It is a joy won through pain as the Son of God submitted Himself to His creation. Join us this Sunday, as we see the joy that Christ brought to the neighborhood – this costly gift – won through pain. -Pastor Nate Roschen

  • Advent 2025: God Moved into the Neighborhood Peace - Luke 2, Matthew 5

    Advent 2025: God Moved into the Neighborhood Peace - Luke 2, Matthew 5
    Dec 7 2025
    The world that God created – and the one He desires – is one of peace. But, as we saw last week, this was not the world that Jesus was born into. Over the course of 400 years, Judea had been under the thumb of six other powers. There was no peace, no stability, no comfort to be found. When God moved into the neighborhood – He brought with Him a peace that can only be found in Him. He was called the Prince of Peace, and Luke’s gospel recounts that peace would come to those on whom His favor rests. Still, as we examine Jesus’ life and His teachings, there is often a noticeable lack of peace. How He spoke of peace was alien to His audience, and when He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, the crowds were looking for a certain kind of peace – but they would never have it. How does Jesus bring peace? And how do we join Him in His peacemaking? Join us this Sunday as we continue our way through this advent season. -Pastor Nate Roschen
