The Sinner-Saint Life – Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost
As Christians, we live every day as both a sinner and a saint—a constant tug-of-war between our old nature and our new identity in Christ. In Matthew 16:21-28, Peter goes from declaring Jesus as the Messiah to trying to block His path to the cross, showing how quickly we can trade God's ways for our own. Thankfully, Jesus meets us right in the middle of our daily struggle with relentless grace, calling us to deny self, take up our cross, and follow Him. Join us this week as we explore what it means to navigate the sinner-saint life together as a community anchored in Christ.

Only One Way In – Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost
In Matthew 16:13-20, Jesus asks His disciples the ultimate question: "Who do you say I am?" Peter’s response—"You are the Christ, the Son of the living God"—reveals the only true way into the Kingdom of Heaven. Salvation isn't earned by our own good works, but is received purely through faith in Jesus alone. Join us this week as we explore how this life-changing confession anchors our lives, our families, and our community.

Trials Strengthen Our Faith – Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost
When we face difficult times in our life, it’s easy to despair. But God allows trials in order to strengthen us—to turn us toward Him in faith, and not away.

Walking Water – Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost

Revelation: Full of Hope – Part 3: Hope for Heaven – Tenth Sunday after Pentecost
Revelation doesn't have to be a book of fear or confusing forecasts—when read through the lens of God's figurative language, it is filled with vibrant hope! In this final part of our Revelation series, we explore Revelation 21 and God's promise of a New Heaven and New Earth where He dwells directly with His people, sin and sorrow are wiped away forever, and we share in a joyful, eternal reunion.
Liturgist and Preacher: Rev. Tony Boos; Reader: William Ellington and Rev. Tony Boos
Revelation: Full of Hope – Part 2: Hope in Battles – Ninth Sunday after Pentecost
Today we will be focusing on Hope through spiritual battles. And reading all of chapter 12 of Revelation, since it clearly shows the ongoing spiritual and unseen war between God & Satan that impacts us. The message of Scripture is one of victory—full, final, and ultimate victory. It is not our doom that is certain, but Satan’s. His head has been crushed by the heel of Christ as was prophesied in Genesis 3:15.
