In a world where we can sing and say, “What the World Needs Now Is Love,” or as the Beatles sang, “All You Need Is Love,” we do well to ask what God’s Word has to say about Love. Come join us on this Labor Day Weekend to explore what real love is.

Sermon Title: "What is Love?" Romans 13:8-14

We invite you to worship with us this Sunday at 11 am and experience the joy of gathering together in faith.

“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.” Those are the Apostle Paul’s opening words in Romans 12:9-21, and for Paul love is not superficial or based on mere sentimentality. Rather, God’s love is practical love in action, in the good times and especially in the difficult times of living and serving others in and outside the church.

This Sunday we will continue on in Romans 12, exploring Paul’s words to us concerning the fullness of Christ’s love as Christians in a 21st Century World.

We invite you to worship with us this Sunday at 11 am and experience the joy of gathering together in faith.

“Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful.” — Hebrews 10:23

As summer begins to wind down, this is a good time to reflect on where we have seen God’s presence over the past few months.

Hope is something we carry with us into our homes, workplaces, friendships, and communities. Even small acts of encouragement and compassion can help others feel seen, valued, and loved.

May we continue to be people who share hope wherever we go.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.” — Isaiah 43:2

Difficult seasons can sometimes make us feel isolated, lonely, or discouraged. During those moments, it helps to remember that God remains close to us.

God does not promise a life free from hardship, but God does promise His presence is with us. Through every challenge, disappointment, and season of change, we are never abandoned.

Whatever this week has held for you, may you find comfort in knowing that God loves you and God continues to walk beside you.

How’s your heart? That is the question we will be focusing on this Sunday. While the Pharisees were most concerned about the disciples breaking the traditions of the elders, not washing their hands before they ate, Jesus was quick to speak to their hypocrisy, pointing out their failure to follow God’s commandments because of their rules taught by men. We will look at Jesus’ words as he cautions not to worry about what is outside of us that can defile us, but what is inside in our hearts. As Jesus says,“whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body. But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man unclean.” (Matthew 15:17-18)

Our church is made up of people from many different walks of life, and we believe everyone has a place to belong. Whether this would be your first visit or your hundredth, we would be delighted to welcome you.

Join us this Sunday at 11 am. We hope to see you there!

“Let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.”
— 1 John 3:18

Kindness often seems small in the moment, but it has the power to bring hope and healing to others.

Whether through service, generosity, patience, or simply listening well, we reflect Christ’s love through everyday acts of compassion.

The world needs more gentleness, grace, and understanding. May we continue to be people who lead with kindness wherever we go.

“Encourage one another and build up each other.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11

A kind word can stay with someone longer than we realize - a day, a week, or even longer! Encouragement matters, especially during seasons when people may be quietly struggling.

One message, one prayer, one thoughtful conversation can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life. As followers of Christ, we have the opportunity to reflect God’s love through the way we care for one another.
