Welcome to Swedeburg Covenant Church! We meet Sunday Morning at 10:30a for worship. Swedeburg Covenant Church has a long history of ministry in the Wahoo area.

We are growing community of believers, located about 5 miles south of Wahoo in the community of Swedeburg. We are a church where new friends quickly become family, casual in dress, and blended in worship style. Swedeburg Covenant Church belongs to the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC). We are a multiethnic movement of over 875 congregations in the United States and Canada with ministries on five continents of the world. The ECC values the Bible as the word of God, the gift of God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ, the call to extend God’s love to a hurting world, and the strength that comes from unity within diversity. What we believe can be summed up in our six affirmations.
- We affirm the centrality of the word of God.
- We affirm the necessity of the new birth.
- We affirm a commitment to the whole mission of the church.
- We affirm the church as a fellowship of believers.
- We affirm a conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit.
- We affirm the reality of freedom in Christ. We gather Sunday mornings for worship at 10:30a. Hope you will join us! We've saved you a seat!

What if the biggest problem with our politics isn't who we're voting for...but who we've forgotten we belong to?

Two thousand years ago, Jesus was asked a politically loaded question. His opponents wanted to trap him, force him to pick a side, and give them something they could use against him.

Sound familiar?

But Jesus refused to play their game. Instead, he asked for a coin, pointed to Caesar's image on it, and gave an answer that left everyone speechless.

"Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." (Mark 12:17)

Here's the thing: Caesar's image was on the coin. But whose image is on you?

Just days before Election Day, we're asking a question that goes far beyond politics:

WHOSE IMAGE ARE YOU CARRYING?
Mark 12:13–17

As we continue our series, A Different Kind of Kingdom, we'll explore what it means to live faithfully in this world without forgetting where our ultimate allegiance belongs. Following Jesus doesn't mean checking out of the world around us. It means refusing to let the world tell us who we are.

Sunday, November 1 | 10:30 a.m.
Swedeburg Covenant Church
1702 W Ash Street, Wahoo, NE

You can carry a political opinion without making it your identity. You can participate in an earthly kingdom without forgetting whom you ultimately belong to.

Come join the conversation.

Everybody wants to be first. Nobody wants to be the servant.

We live in a world that tells us to climb the ladder, build our influence, and do whatever it takes to get ahead.

And then there's Jesus. When two of his closest disciples ask for the best seats in his Kingdom, Jesus doesn't exactly applaud their ambition.

Instead, he tells them they've got the whole thing backward.

"Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant." (Mark 10:43)

Wait. What?

In a world obsessed with power, recognition, and success, Jesus offers a radically different definition of greatness.

What if the problem isn't our desire to be great, but how we've been measuring greatness all along?

Join us this Sunday as we continue our series, A Different Kind of Kingdom, with:

THE PROBLEM WITH BEING FIRST
Mark 10:35–45

Sunday, October 25 | 10:30 a.m.
Swedeburg Covenant Church
1702 W Ash Street, Wahoo, NE

Because in God's Kingdom, greatness isn't about how many people serve you. It's about how willing you are to serve others.

What if Jesus thinks we're celebrating all the wrong people?

We admire the successful. We applaud the powerful. We envy the wealthy. We look up to the people who seem to have everything figured out.

And then Jesus speaks...
"Blessed are the poor in spirit."
"Blessed are those who mourn."
"Blessed are the meek."

Seriously, Jesus? Those are the blessed ones?

Apparently, Jesus has a very different definition of what it means to be blessed.

And maybe that's the problem? We've become so comfortable with the world's definition of success that we've forgotten how radically different the Kingdom of God really is.

This Sunday, we're launching a new sermon series, A Different Kind of Kingdom, and we're starting with a message that might challenge a few assumptions:

BLESSED ARE THE WRONG PEOPLE
Matthew 5:1–12

What if the Beatitudes aren't just a collection of nice sayings to hang on a wall? What if they're Jesus announcing that everything we thought we knew about who matters, who wins, and what makes a life worth living needs to be reconsidered?

And what if we've spent more time chasing the world's version of blessing than learning to recognize God's?

Come with your questions. Bring your assumptions.

Jesus might just turn a few of them upside down.

What has God entrusted to you?

We often think about stewardship in terms of money, but Scripture gives us a much bigger picture. Our gifts, our time, our relationships, our resources, our opportunities, even the places and communities where God has planted us, are things we have received and are called to use faithfully.

This Sunday, we’ll turn to 1 Peter 4:10–11 and consider, "What do we do with what God has entrusted to us?"

Join us for worship as we consider what it means to receive God’s grace and then faithfully put it to work for the sake of others.
