Have you ever felt lost, even when you thought you were on the right path?
In life, as in travel, we often rely on our personal “GPS” to guide us, but what if our internal compass isn’t pointing in the right direction? In Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus challenges us to consider the paths we choose and the gates we enter. The road to spiritual fulfillment is not the wide, easy road, but the narrow path that requires faith, intentionality, and trust.
Join us this Sunday as we continue our summer series on the Sermon on the Mount with Rev. Val Stewart's sermon, “Who Told You It Was Easy?”

Combined Worship @ 11:00 in Sanctuary
Rev. Val Stewart, Associate Pastor
Have you ever lost something really important to you? Mary and Joseph once lost Jesus, but he wasn’t really lost—he was right where he needed to be! This Sunday, we’ll hear the story of how they found him and what it teaches us about growing in faith and looking for Jesus in the right places. We'll see you Sunday!
In this week's scripture reading, Luke 1:46-55, we hear Mother Mary's song, the Magnificat. In her song she sings about her delight in the Lord and her awe at His great love. But what if this song is our song too? Join us Sunday at 8:30 and 11:0 am as Pastor Tully reflects on Mary's words in her verse and imagines that these were our words too.
This Sunday Modern Worship will be holding a special service of scripture and contemporary Christmas music that tells the story of Jesus’ birth as we prepare our hearts to receive Jesus again. Come experience the nativity story through scripture and song as our Modern Worship band leads the music, and members of our congregation read the scriptures dear to our hearts. Pastor Val will bring a short message, “The Scandalous Birth Story” based on Matthew 1:18-25, and we will go out singing with joy, and filled with the hope, peace, and love of Christ in our hearts.
Modern Worship
Patrick Wilson, Lay Speaker
We live in a highly developed world, dominated by the trappings of an advanced society. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by our possessions and our obligations. As we try to please everyone around us, the pressures of the Christmas season can make it even worse. How do we reconnect with the true spirit of Christianity? Our resident lay speaker, Patrick Wilson, will explore that question in this week’s sermon, “Enchanted.”
Traditional, Dr. Kevin Tully, Senior Pastor
In a time of division and uncertainty, the prophet Isaiah delivered a powerful message of hope, reminding us that true salvation doesn’t come from earthly powers but from trusting in God’s promises. As we light the pink candle of Advent, symbolizing joy, we are invited to reflect on where we place our trust and how God’s love calls us home. Come experience the joy of Christmas with us this Sunday!
