Sunday Worship (Page 15)
It was so great to come together last Sunday as we were able to reopen our doors! Whether you were inside, on the lawn, or online, we are glad you joined us. We celebrated six baptisms and what a joyous time it was. We continued in our series, “Beloved: Welcome to the Family of God”…
It seems like just last week that we were studying 1 Peter 3:8, “Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.” The days of us needing to hear these words from God are far from over. Satan has done all he can to divide and…
I’ll never forget the first time I met Valorie’s family. I don’t mean her mom and dad and sisters. I mean the WHOLE bunch. You see I grew up in a small family. I didn’t know my grandparents, my dad is an only child, my mom has one sister living in another state. I’ve seen…
Dear friends, For 5 months we have been “journeying together“ through 1 Peter. This Sunday our study will end but your life journey as well as mine will continue! When we take a journey or go on vacation it is wise to prepare! Peter was encouraging and exhorting believers in the 1st century to prepare…

CBS News reports a zoo staff member was feeding the big cats when they got loose and mauled the man who later died…
Hey Family, We hope to see you on the grass this Sunday – or online if that’s best for you. Last week I gave you Hostess Cupcakes at the end of the service. But now – after studying this week’s passage – I realize that that was a terrible mistake! : ) Bad…bad…bad… I’ll explain…
Hi Family, Let’s celebrate this Sunday on the grass (or online) and sing to God, learn and see each other. Oh, and it’s Cupcake Sunday! Why? First, I’m telling you stories about bakers – one who lives far away and one who lives close by and goes to Valley. Here’s one of the two, hard…
Robert Fulghum’s “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” is a wonderful book full of many simple but profound pieces of wisdom. One of my favorites is, “When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.” The reality is that we all heard this from…
This weekend my sermon title comes directly from 1 Peter 4:1 that literally says, “…arm yourselves…” So, are you armed? I’m not asking if you have two appendages connected to the upper part of your body! Nor do I mean are you “packing heat” with firearms. What I’m asking is, are you prepared, equipped, ready…
The name “Marty Moates” is a legend in the motocross world. He scored a historic victory as one of the first Americans to win in the U.S. Grand Prix of Motocross at Carlsbad Raceway. For most people riding a motorcycle at high speed around a dirt track crowded with other riders while navigating obstacles and…
