When Jesus Challenges Your Faith
Have you ever had difficult circumstances come your way? When you felt like your back was against the wall? What did you do then? In this Sunday's Gospel narrative we meet a woman who is feeling desperate... yet faith-filled, when she approaches Jesus persistently for help. Can we follow that model? PJ will address this faith-challenge in his sermon "When Jesus Challenges Your Faith". This message will be Part 2 of the four-part sermon series "Faith Under Fire". Don't miss these encouraging words applicable to any desperate time!

And be assured that he'll appear for you, too! Don't miss this affirming sermon, "When Jesus Arrives in the Storm" as Pastor Jack shares comforting words for times of distress.

What Would You Ask For?
Do you recall, years ago, sitting on Santa's lap and telling Santa what you want for Christmas? What if you could sit on God's lap? What would you ask for? Join Pastor Jack in his light-hearted message this Sunday: "What Would You Ask For?"... On the same day, we'll be observing a special "Christmas in July" liturgy, and PJ will connect the dots between what the people-of-old requested of God and what we might ask of God today. Intriguing message, indeed. Merry Christmas!

Eighth Sunday after Pentecost - July 19, 2026
Does anybody ENJOY waiting? We're constantly waiting...in store lines, in airports, in doctors' offices. How about a different kind of waiting?... Like when you feel stuck in an unpleasant situation and nothing seems to change? It can seem like forever waiting for a positive outcome. This Sunday's sermon is "Just Wait... and See". Pastor's sermon is about circumstances which seem permanent...but are changing... for the better. You'll love this optimistic and faith-filled look at life.

Fertile Ground
Have you ever considered the sheer volume of thoughts swimming in your head at any given moment? Philosophers have compared these thoughts to seeds in your mind. Which seeds are you nurturing and watering? Seeds of discontent? Seeds of anger? Or seeds of faith... seeds of the Spirit? Join Pastor Jack this Sunday for his message "Fertile Ground". Discover which "mind seeds" get your attention... and which mind seeds NEED your attention. Don't miss this "thought-provoking" message!
