Sunday December 15: “What Child is This? Savior of the World” Isaiah 53:1-7

By Bill Flavin, Lead Pastor

Since I was young, I have heard Christians talk about Jesus being our Lord and Savior. This implies we are being saved from something or someone. Too often, our answers are anemic or at best incomplete. Jesus saves us from going to hell, and one day when we die, we go to heaven with God. Which is all true. AND. Jesus promises that his saving changes our today as well. That he saves us from the narratives of our world that leave us longing for more. That he saves us from a life driven solely by what you can produce or make or earn. Jesus comes to save us not just for one day in the future, but to transform how we live today also.

Sunday March 1: “Formed By Grace” Acts 9:1-19

The story of the apostle Paul is not just a record of missionary journeys and powerful sermons—it is a testimony of how God shapes a life over time. In this series, we will follow Paul from his dramatic encounter with Jesus to his faithful endurance at the end of his life, discovering how grace, humility, joy, suffering, and hope formed him into a witness for the gospel. As we explore Paul’s story in Acts and his own reflections in the letters he wrote, we’ll be invited to consider how Christ is still forming us today—not through comfort or certainty, but through faithful obedience and trust in Him.

Sunday February 15: “Formed by Our Roots” John 15:1-8

In more than one place in the gospel of John, Jesus used this word abide. Abide in me, as Jesus abides in the Father. Stay connected, apart from God we cannot bear fruit. In John and other places in scripture we get a picture that connection to God happens intentionally, through habits and practices.
