The Lord’s Supper

Remembering & Proclaiming Christ Pastor Peter started a new series this week about The Lord’s Supper. Since Jesus gave His body, shed His blood, and rose from the grave to save us from our sins, we should worship by remembering and proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ both in sharing communion and throughout our lives. 26 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take and eat it; this is my body.” 27 Then he took…

A Savior Was Born For You

This Christmas Eve, Pastor Peter reads from Luke 2:8-14 (CSB). God’s heart is for everyone from the shepherds to the wise men. 8 In the same region, shepherds were staying out in the fields and keeping watch at night over their flock. 9 Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will…

Come Away and Rest

This week Pastor Peter teaches us what Jesus says about rest from Mark 6:30-31. We are called to work and then to rest. Rest grounds us in the gospel and is a form of worship – declaring all faith and trust in God’s control. 30 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all that they had done and taught. 31 He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a remote place and rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and…

Love That Gave It All

This week Chan Kim gave a beautiful message on Jesus’ love for us and what it cost Him. 23 But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified. And their voices prevailed. 24 So Pilate decided that their demand should be granted. 25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus over to their will. 26 And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was…

Jesus Heals the Blind Man

This week, Paul unpacks Mark 10:46-52 where Jesus heals a blind man named Bartimaeus who calls out to Him in faith. 46 They came to Jericho. And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind beggar, was sitting by the road. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 Many warned him to keep quiet, but he was crying out all the more, “Have mercy…
