 January 18, 2026 message delivered by Randall Bramer: "What Are Your Priorities?" based on 1 Corinthians 12:30-32 & 2 Corinthians  5:1-10.  Life can change in a moment. In this sermon, we reflect on unexpected loss, shifting plans, and the temporary nature of our earthly lives. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5 and 1 Corinthians 15, we are reminded that while our bodies fade, our hope in Christ is eternal. This message calls us to live with eternity in mind—loving others, sharing the hope of Jesus, and faithfully serving the Lord, knowing that our labor in Him is never in vain. 

   January 11, 2026 message: "Breaking Points" based on Matthew 13:10-13 & Matthew 12:30-32. This week we explore turning points and breaking points—moments that change everything. Looking at Jesus’ ministry in Matthew 12, we consider why He began teaching in parables and what it means to truly see, hear, and respond to God’s love. The message challenges us to follow Jesus on the narrow path of love, humility, and faith, especially in a divided world. 

  January 4, 2026 message: "Breaking Bad" based on Romans 7:14-20 & Philippians 3:12-15. Epiphany reminds us that encountering Jesus changes our direction. As we begin a new year, this message challenges the idea that resolutions alone can transform our lives. Drawing from the story of the Magi, we’re invited to leave behind sin, practice discipline, and follow Jesus on a new path. Real change doesn’t come from “easy fixes,” but from surrendering our lives to Christ and walking daily in obedience, love, and grace. This year’s focus is simple: Just Jesus. 

 December 28, 2025 message delivered by guest speaker Chris Yarusinsky: "Opposites Attract" based on Luke 11:28.  The sermon centers on the theme “Opposites Attract: The Opposite of What the World Says Attracts the Heart of God.” Using personal stories and Scripture, the Chris contrasts worldly values with God’s kingdom values.  

The message teaches that God’s values are often the opposite of the world’s values. While the world emphasizes strength, status, and personal gain, Jesus calls believers to give generously, serve humbly, rely on God in weakness, expect nothing in return, and live with childlike faith. True greatness comes through service, humility, and protecting one’s soul. The sermon concludes by urging listeners to seek God’s kingdom first, trusting that He will provide what truly matters.

 Sorry, this message was not recorded. ☹️

 Due to the ice, snow and sub-zero weather, church was cancelled.  Pray for better weather and hope to see you next week at the cookie exchange!!

 December 7, 2025 message: "A Little Child Shall Lead Them" based on Isaiah 11:6-9 & 2 Kings 5:1-14. This Advent message explores how God often works through the unexpected—highlighted by the young Israelite girl who led Naaman to healing in 2 Kings 5. Her childlike faith contrasts with Naaman’s pride and reminds us how easily we overlook God’s miracles when they come in humble forms. As we prepare for Christmas, we’re invited to slow down, embrace simple faith, and notice the quiet ways God is present among us.    

 Due to the snow storm, church was cancelled.  Hope to see you at Studio Go! this Wednesday or next Sunday!

  November 23, 2025 message: "Sent With Thanks" based on Psalm 136 & Luke 17:11-17.  The sermon reflects on Luke 17:11–19, where Jesus heals ten lepers but only one, a Samaritan, returns to give thanks. The pastor explains how ancient rabbis believed that healing a Jewish leper was a messianic miracle, something only the Messiah could do. Jesus performed these miracles regularly, revealing His identity, yet in this story only the outcast Samaritan responds with deep, overwhelming gratitude.  The message emphasizes the difference between simply remembering and the Hebrew concept of zakar—remembering with action. True remembrance of what Jesus has done leads to a transformed life that shows grace, mercy, and love to others. 

 November 16, 2025 message: "The Answer is Jesus" based on Psalm 84 & Romans 1:1-6.  Pastor Kristi encouraged the congregation to live “questionable” (surprising) lives that naturally invite questions about faith. Using Romans 1 and Paul’s example, she emphasized that the gospel — the story of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection — is always the answer. Rather than focusing on people’s sin or on recruiting for a particular church, we should tell how Jesus has changed our lives.  The sermon finished with a challenge: bless three people, eat with someone new, and list ten ways Jesus makes your life surprising.

  November 9, 2025 message: "Table Fellowship" based on Luke 14:1, 7-14 & 2 Samuel 9:1-11. Tables are more than places to eat—they are spaces for relationship, inclusion, and sharing faith. Jesus and biblical figures like David used meals to welcome outcasts, demonstrate grace, and break social barriers. By intentionally inviting others—especially those we might overlook—into our homes or to share a meal, we can show Christ’s love in tangible ways. Table fellowship becomes a simple yet powerful way to build community and surprise the world with God’s kingdom.
