Sermon – IBMTA: What Do You Need?- Pastor Paisley Le Roy
October 17, 2021 My new testament professor called a story like the one we have today a Markan Oreo. Because Mark's Jesus is always on the move, there are often interruptions in his narrative. The two stories often have many parallels and they are put together to...
Sermon – IBMTA:Where Are You From? Part 2 ~ Deacon Heather Feltman
October 2, 2021 As we have mentioned the last couple of weeks, it is our hope through this sermon series to make room for intentional conversation in our life together as community, so we might grow in relationship with one another. It is our hope that the questions...
Sermon – IBMTA: Where Are You From?- Pastor Paisley Le Roy
September 26, 2021 This week we dive into our series, “I’ve been meaning to ask…” with the seemingly simple question, “where are you from?” As Pastor Sarah mentioned last week, it is our hope to make room for these questions in our life together as community so that...
Sermon- The Power Of Questions- Pastor Sarah Rohde
August 19, 2021 One of my favorite authors, Kelly Corrigan, delivered a graduation speech at the Walker School in Marietta, Georgia this past May. She opened her speech with three stories that I’m going to do my best to paraphrase. The first was of her husband,...
Sermon – Book Of Acts Recap ~ Deacon Heather Feltman
September 12, 2021 Today, we conclude our journey through the book of Acts. Wednesday of last week, Pastor Sarah, Pastor Paisley and I shared a few of the themes that stood out to us. And we hope that you took a bit of time as well to reflect on what you have most...
Sermon – On Trial For Resurrection- Pastor Paisley Le Roy
August 29, 2021 This week, we hear of another tense moment from the book of Acts. Let’s paint the scene: a courtroom in Caesarea. We see the governor Felix sitting high up on the judge’s bench. He is the Roman governor that we know little to nothing about at the time....
Sermon- God Is What Matters- Pastor Sarah Rohde
August 22, 2021 Well, we’re getting closer to the end of this book, and like any good book, the tension is mounting. At this point in Acts, the Apostle Paul has moved on to the city of Ephesus. Ephesus at the time was the second-most important city in the Roman Empire...
Sermon- Sharing Our Faith- Pastor Sarah Rohde
August 15, 2021 I was having a conversation with a chiropractor a few years ago, and we bonded over the experience that we’ve had, over and over again, when we share with others what we do for a living. She said to me, “I have to quickly clarify that I’m not one of...
Sermon – Nothing Can Keep Us From Baptism- Pastor Paisley Le Roy
August 1, 2021 I keep on bringing back this passage from Acts 1, which is considered to be the mission statement of the whole book. It says, "And you shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, in Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth." And as we've walked...
Sermon- The Acts Of The Holy Spirit – Pastor Sarah Rohde
July 25, 2021 As we’ve journeyed through the book of Acts this summer, one of the things I’ve appreciated most is the deep-dive that it gives us into the workings of the Holy Spirit. Acts begins with the Spirit’s arrival, but that’s just the first course; the rest of...
Sermon – Everything Was Held In Common ~ Deacon Heather Feltman
July 18, 2021 There is no better proof that Jesus is who he says he is than the before-and-after pictures we have of the disciples. Before Pentecost, they are scared and timid at any sign of trouble. Afterwards, they are fearless leaders! They heal the sick, cast...
Sermon- Resurrection – Pastor Sarah Rohde
July 11, 2021 Last week, Pastor Paisley preached on the story from Acts 3, when Peter and John are on their way to pray, and they’re stopped by a man who is lame, who’s spent every day of his life laying just outside the temple gate. Their eyes meet, Peter has no...
Sermon – Our Eyes Were Opened- Pastor Paisley Le Roy
July 4, 2021 Now, as we've been returning back into our building with more and more regularity, I've been getting a lot of comments saying, was that always there. Now, granted, I'm not really the best person to ask because I'm not quite sure what was and was not...
Sermon — What Should Church Do? ~ Rev. Andrew Packman
June 27, 2021 After the events of the Pentecost, the disciples had a question, and it lingers today. Friends, what should we do now? Now, this can be really the main question. It's what our family asks each other on the rare occasion we don't have a pre‑ordained...
Sermon – We Are All Witnesses ~ Deacon Heather Feltman
June 20, 2021 What if these walls could talk? Look around this space for a moment. Since the 1950’s these walls have heard thousands of sermons, some great and inspiring, and others, well, you know. These walls have heard how many renditions of A Mighty Fortress is...
Sermon – The Spirit Is Here- Pastor Paisley Le Roy
June 13, 2021 Do you ever just stop and think "wow, the spirit is here right now!" Have any of you ever had that moment? Raise your hands. Okay, I see a handful and by the end of this, I hope to see more of your hands, because I think that the spirit works in so many...
Sermon- God Given Power – Pastor Sarah Rohde
June 6, 2021 Why study the book of Acts? It gives us the best view of the church in its earliest days. Acts tells the story of the followers of Jesus trying to figure out who in the world to be and what in the world to do. You can watch the service here. You can read...
Sermon- God’s Promise Of Life Right Now – Pastor Sarah Rohde
May 30, 2021 If there is any bible verse that people know by heart, It is often John 3:16 that comes at the very end of our passage for today. I'm sure that many of you can recite it with me. "For God so loved the world, he gave his only Son." You can watch the...
Confirmation Service- May 23, 2021
May 23, 2021 Confirmation Service for the Class of 2021. You can watch the service here.
Sermon- Prayer – Pastor Sarah Rohde
May 16, 2021 Last week, Deacon Heather invited us to consider “last words,” not just the last words that are spoken before life comes to an end, but the “last words” that are spoken before all the other endings and beginnings that occur in our lives on this side of...
