Jesus before Pilate; MARK 15:1-47

It was 80 and cloudy for our 22nd outdoor Worship service. Our 3 Confirmands, Annie, Justin and Devyn, publicly proclaimed the faith into which they were baptized.

A reason to boast.

We have violated every commandment, but our JOY on earth is but a foretaste of things to come.  

Jesus again predicts His death; MARK 10:32-45

The need for a Savior is man's biggest need. Jesus led by serving others. As we follow Jesus, may His example of serving others be our model.

Stricken, Smitten and Afflicted.

Pastor Hollar talked about what God did to Jesus so that we would be healed from our guilt from sin. 

Jesus teaches Nicodemus; JOHN 3:14-21

It was 65 and sunny for our 21st outdoor worship service. Pastor Kuppler talked about What is behind the Cross? God so loved the world that Jesus laid down his life for others. Focus on the cross!

Hear our cry!

Lord have mercy on us. Jesus heard their plea. Jesus healed them.

Jesus clears the Temple; JOHN 2:13-22

It was 51 and sunny and windy for our 20th outdoor worship service. When Christians point out sinful behavior in the world, the world likes to condemn us as hypocritical by saying Jesus was all about love. This morning’s Gospel includes a clear example of Jesus condemning sin. Only when people acknowledge and confess their sin can they receive the forgiveness offered and the salvation it brings.

What's in your heart?

Pastor Hollar talked about what the cross has to do with us. It reminds us that Christ was crucified for us.

Peter's Confession of Christ; MARK 8:27-38

It was 70 and sunny for our 19th outdoor worship service.  “Who is Jesus?” may seem like a nonsensical question. But many people would respond with an answer far different than you might imagine. The full identity of Jesus includes all that one needs to know to understand the Bible, come to faith, and be saved.

Balm and Healing

You can be confident of the perfect healing that will come in our resurrection.

The Baptism and Temptation of Jesus ; Mark 1:9-15

Giving to the Needy and Fasting; Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21

Jesus Heals Mary; Mark 1:29-39

If the Gospel is not heard, does it still save? Jesus came to preach and to proclaim the Gospel. Jesus came to bring comfort and peace to you.

Jesus Drives out an Evil Spirit; Mark 1:21-28

What are some of the ways you have identified yourself over the years? By occupation, family affiliation, race, gender, geographical origin or current residence? All three of this morning’s lessons can be seen in terms of identity issues. We also have the opportunity to identify ourselves in alignment with, or in opposition to, these identities.

Jesus Calling of the first Disciples; Mark 1:14-20

Despite whatever conditions we find ourselves in, whether good or bad, it seems that we are being told to ignore those conditions and live as though they did not exist. Today we learned to live as though the best is yet to come.

Jesus calls Philip and Nathanael; John 1:43-51

It was 45 sunny and windy for our 18th outdoor Worship service. In this mornings Epistle lesson, St. Paul tells each of us that our "body is a temple of the spirit". What does he mean by that?

Jesus Comforts His Disciples; John 14:1-11

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

The Birth of Jesus Foretold; Luke 1:26-38

Peace is accomplished thru victory over satan, not negotiation. There is a perfect peace to come.

The Promise to David

Scripture Reading: 2 SAMUEL 7:8-17

John the Baptist denies being the Christ; John 1:19-28

It was 65 and partly cloudy for our 15th outdoor Worship service. There is great joy this Advent season, knowing that his ultimate blessing is yet to come.

Abrahams righteouness came from believing his Lord.

During the season of Advent we can anticipate God's 2nd coming on the last day.

The Parable of the Talents; Matt 25:14-30

It was rainy and then sunny and 73 for our 12th outdoor  worship service.  Our sermon today reminded us that our faith inspires us to action. We are to encouage others with the certainty of our salvation.

The Parable of the Ten Virgins; Matt 25:1-13

During our chaotic times, God is demanding just decisions and kind and generous attitudes! Our challenge is, what would God have us do during these times?

The Children of Abraham; John 8:31-36

Pastor Hollar leads us in worship on Reformation sunday.
