"Back in the old days..." These days, I'm becoming one of those who grew up in the old days! In the 'old days' we rode around town in the bed of grandpa's truck, rode our bikes, scooters, and skateboards with no helmets, elbow or knee pads; we drank right out of the garden hose, and went on family road trips without even thinking about wearing a seat belt. Those things and so many more would be considered 'unsafe' or even illegal today! We are a culture that has become obsessed with safety. We deadbolt our doors, have locks on our mailboxes, and cameras on every corner. But try as we might to ensure our own security, nothing is absolutely foolproof. And yet, we long to know that everything is going to be okay; that we are safe. Come join us this Sunday at 11 AM as we unpack what God's Word says about security. We are wired by God to desire safety. But the kind of security He offers is a whole different kind. One that can't be hacked, never needs to be updated, and will never fail. You'll find us online by clicking the "Join Us Sunday" button on our website or connect with us via our YouTube channel. Or come worship with us in person! Enjoy coffee, cookies and conversation in the Lobby before the service. We would love to connect with you! We do know that 11 AM on Sunday doesn't work for everyone. If that's you, the service will be available on-demand, so you can watch at a time that works better for your schedule. I hope we see you this Sunday!

According to dictionary.com, the definition of 'significance' is the quality of being worthy of attention. Every person is imbued with a God-given thirst for significance. We long to know that not only are we worthy of attention, but that we have purpose, we make a difference, that we matter. Our culture tells us that popularity and influence are the measuring sticks by which our worthiness is assessed. But the Bible tells us that our worth was established before we even had a name. That our purpose was ordained by God before we took our first breath. Significance isn't something you earn; it's something you already have.

"I can't get no satisfaction. Gonna try and I try and I try..." Those lyrics were written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards back in 1965. And from what little I know about their lives, I'm not sure they ever found it. There is a hunger in the soul of every person that demands to be satisfied. And there are a myriad of options that humanity has used to attempt to fill the void. It might be food, shopping, adrenaline, busyness, or any number of other things. But our satisfaction strategy is faulty. Because we're not really hungry for a what... what the soul longs for is a Who. And only He will ever completely, fully, utterly satisfy that hunger within.

I love a good jigsaw puzzle. It's a different kind of challenge for my brain -- which I find both fun and relaxing. But have you ever heard of a Shmuzzle? It's a jigsaw puzzle of a whole 'nother kind. It's one of those puzzles where every piece is the same basic shape. So there are endless ways the pieces can fit together, but just because you can make a piece fit, doesn't mean it belongs there! A shmuzzle is neither fun or relaxing... at least not for me! Have you ever considered the difference between 'fitting in' and belonging? We'll unpack that difference in our series, Identity Crisis: Becoming Who We Are Together In Christ this Sunday. We all long to belong. But often we settle for just fitting in, which never truly satisfies our souls. Understanding the belonging that is ours in God's family can free you from the pressure to 'fit in.' There's no need to force it - you already have a seat at the table.

We're in the middle of a sermon series we've titled, Identity Crisis: Becoming Who We Are, Together In Christ. We're exploring the God-given longings we all experience and how those longings can truly be satisfied -- in intimate relationship with Jesus, and within the context of healthy community. We've already talked about the longing for attention and affection; this week, we'll look at the need for affirmation. You might think that affirmation is just another word for encouragement. But it's actually very different. To encourage someone is to cheer them on - to give them courage to keep going. But affirmation goes beyond that - it helps another see beneath their doing and catch a glimpse of their becoming. Affirmation says, "This is how I see Jesus in you." Come join us this Sunday at 11 AM. You'll find us online by clicking the "Join Us Sunday" button on our website or connecting with us via our YouTube channel. Or come worship with us in person! Enjoy coffee, cookies, and conversation in the Lobby before the service. We would love to connect with you! We do know that 11 AM on Sunday doesn't work for everyone. If that's you, the service will be available on demand, so you can watch at a time that works better for your schedule. I hope you'll join us this Sunday!

This is week two of our new sermon series, Identity Crisis: Becoming Who We Are, Together In Christ. We're exploring the God-given longings we all experience and how, in intimate relationship with Jesus, and in the context of healthy community, those longings can be most deeply and fully met. This week we'll look at the longing for affection. We often think of affection as physical attention... hugging, hand-holding, a pat on the back. But real affection is so much deeper than being "touchy-feely." To have affection toward someone is to set your heart and mind on being for another. To care with intention and love without condition. God has set His affections on us; He delights in who we are, just because we are His. And we are called to do the same for one another.

There are longings deep within every soul. They have been placed there intentionally; designed by our Creator for our flourishing. Each longing is intended to be fulfilled in our relationship with God. But something has gone awry. For each holy longing, the enemy of our souls has crafted a cultural counterfeit, a lie that warps our longings and drives us to seek satisfaction in something less than what God intended. This Sunday we're beginning a new sermon series that we've titled, Identity Crisis: Becoming Who We Are, Together In Christ. For the next 8 weeks, we're going to explore those longings and how it is in intimate relationship with Jesus, and in the context of healthy community that those longings can be most deeply and fully met. Come join us this Sunday at 11 AM. You'll find us online by clicking the "Join Us Sunday" button on our website or connect with us via our YouTube channel. Or come worship with us in person! Enjoy coffee, cookies and conversation in the Lobby before the service. We would love to connect with you! We do know that 11 AM on Sunday doesn't work for everyone.

The first time I ever received an Amber Alert on my cellphone, I was just about to see a play at the Keller Auditorium in Portland. It took me a minute to figure out what it was, and then a few more to turn it off! Amber Alerts are still used across the United States and internationally. As of December 2024, the system has helped aid in the successful recovery 0f 1,268 children. Now, you know how the Amber Alert system works… it is, quite literally a ginormous, real-life game of telephone – except the info doesn’t get garbled in the transmission process. But what would happen if the person whose job it was to actually activate the Amber Alert, just entered the data in the system and then did… nothing? There is more to being a watchman, to staying alert, vigilant, and awake than just gathering info. If you don’t spread the news, well, then... what's the point? We have reached our final week of our summer series, Upside Down Kingdom: The Gospel According to Mark. Over the past three months, we've discovered many ways in which Jesus' kingdom operates completely opposite of the kingdoms of this world. And as we wrap up, we find that Jesus has one more bit of counterintuitive instruction for His followers. And it applies to us today, every bit as much as it did then. Come join us this Sunday at 11 AM. You'll find us online by clicking the "Join Us Sunday" button on our website or connect with us via our YouTube channel. Or come worship with us in person! Enjoy coffee, cookies and conversation in the Lobby before the service. We would love to connect with you! We do know that 11 AM on Sunday doesn't work for everyone. If that's you, the service will be available on-demand, so you can watch at a time that works better for your schedule. I'm tellin' ya... don't miss it!
