Sunday February 16: Baggage: “The Burdens We Carry” Matthew 11:28-30

By Bill Flavin, Lead Pastor

Jesus says that his yoke is easy and the burden is light.  This phrase of a yoke and burden was commonly used by rabbis to speak about the expectations for those who would choose to follow them.  Jesus is painting a picture of discipleship that sounds less stressful than the way in which many of us follow Jesus.  So why exactly is his yoke easy, and what does it mean for us?

Sunday June 1: Joshua Series: “Interesting Plans” Joshua 6

Stories are powerful. They can remind us of favorite memories, impactful people, and formative experiences. By Joshua 4 the Jewish people have a “this isn’t Kansas anymore” moment as they stand on the edge of the land God was leading them to. But before they step into the next chapter of that journey, they pause, to remember all that God has already done, and to be sure they don’t forget as they step into the next part of their journey.
