What does the church have to do with a bounce castle? It's more than just coming to the summer picnic. Listen to Sunday's sermon on 1 Corinthians 4 to hear more about the Inflatable Church.

Last night the Germany tour group had some wonderful fellowship over dinner at a local restaurant in Erfurt and today they visited Wartburg Castle, where Martin Luther spent around 10 months translating the New Testament into German, helping unify the modern German language.

Our group of 16 is blessed to be visiting Wittenberg, the city where Martin Luther famously posted his 95 Theses in 1517! We are so grateful to walk through this important part of Christian history and to reflect on God’s faithfulness to his church. Most of all, we thank God for bringing our entire group safely to Berlin, Germany yesterday!

Tomorrow we’re headed to Eisleben and Leipzig. Stay tuned for some more pics to come!

"The way that God exists is logically going to have much to say about how you are to exist. That’s as practical as it can be. The teaching of the Trinity is not just some dull, dry doctrine about the existence of God. Correctly taught and correctly understood…it will take every relationship in your life and make it better."

Most days we just enjoy it without thinking about how it came to us: water. We need water to survive. Yet before the liquid refreshment comes out of the pipes in our house, there are pumps and purifiers and people that usually go unnoticed. Week after week, the LORD sends the Holy Spirit and pours out life all over the world. Today we gush with praise and thanks and honor for this person of the triune God who so often goes unnoticed as he goes about his work that we need to survive.

Third & Fourth Grade Camp Day was one for the books! ⛺️📚🔦

Students spent the day creating their own classroom tents, enjoying s’mores outside, and cozying up with flashlights for reading time. It was the perfect mix of creativity, teamwork, and fun while making memories together along the way!

Who knew learning could feel so much like a camping adventure? 🏕️

Last Thursday, we celebrated Ascension: our Savior hidden behind the clouds, now seated at the Father's right hand, where he always lives to intercede for us as our great High Priest. In our sermon today, Jesus prayed on the night before he sacrificed once for all at the cross. This is God speaking to God at a crucial moment in his eternal plan for our salvation! As we listen in on our High Priest offering this prayer in John 17, we will hear that he offers only the best, and so much of it...all for us!

Life is full of either/or moments. Some of them are of little long-term consequence. Some of them matter more. One either/or moment is life-changing for ever...
