Peace to Breathe
When you're feeling overwhelmed by things like fear, shame, or confusion, it can start to feel like you're getting choked out by life. That's how Jesus' disciples were feeling on Easter Sunday evening. But then the risen Jesus appeared to them! And what was the first thing he said to them? "Peace be with you." It was more than just a polite greeting. It was a revelation of what he'd come to give them! And because of Jesus' resurrection, you can have that same peace too!

    Certain Is Better! (Easter Sunday)
    It's better to be certain than "pretty sure." Unfortunately, the things we put our hope in are often less than certain--more of a desire or a wish than a certainty. And yet, there is one thing that is certain, and one thing that can give us certain hope, even in uncertain times! Watch Pastor Troy's Easter Sunday sermon, "Certain Is Better" to find out what that is!

    2 Covenants, 1 Promise
    Series: Crazy Love
    When someone breaks a promise they've made to you, it can be hard to forgive. It's nearly inconceivable to think about making another covenant with them too! But today, we see that God not only forgives us when we fail to keep our promises to him, he establishes a second covenant--a 1-sided covenant of grace in Christ Jesus!

    Why So Serious, Jesus?
    Series: Crazy Love
    In today's Gospel reading, Jesus doesn't look much like the loving Savior we think of. He's flipping tables, driving out animals, shouting, and wielding a whip! Yet, although it might not look like it, Jesus is acting out of love! Love that protects from harm and danger.

    Jesus–For All
    Series: Crazy Love
    Some people argue that the church divides people more than it unites them. But God's Word today shows us that it's only the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as Savior that unites literally every single person together as one. The Gospel is the message for all people, because Jesus is the Savior of all people!
