A Message From Pastor Bill
It has been such a joy to see so many of you face to face on Sunday mornings.

We are excited that we are able to move forward, at the same time, it is our top priority to create a safe environment. Because of this, we will…

Clothed with Humility
And everyone, clothe yourselves with humility toward each other. God stands against the proud, but he gives favor to the humble. (1 Peter 5:5b) As I encountered this passage this week, the phrase “God stands against the proud” jumped out at me. I had heard this idea from scripture before. Similar ideas can be found in James 4:6 and Proverbs 3:34. Although a familiar sentiment, this idea seemed jolting this week. It almost seems like the opposite of God’s character…

Anticipation
My family and I just returned from our vacation to Glacier National Park. Usually, I am a planner and I get everything organized down to the last minute as to what we will do during our vacation. This always leads to the “planned anticipation” of what we are going to be doing each day. Well, this year wasn’t like that at all. Honestly, I wasn’t even anticipating the trip. We had just returned from Arizona from grieving my aunt’s death…

Devotional – August 27, 2020
I am convinced that nothing can separate us from God’s love in Christ Jesus our Lord: not death or life, not angels or rulers, not present things or future things, not powers or height or depth, or any other thing that is created.” Romans 8:38-39 The book of Romans is the single longest letter in the New Testament. Paul is writing to “God’s beloved in Rome”. In the first chapters of Romans, Paul has laid out a great…

Joy and Peace!
“In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy. I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” Philippians 6:15 Isn’t it a great feeling when you have a sense of inner peace, even in the middle of hard times? Things around you may be bad and well on their way to worse, but you feel secure on the inside, confident that God is in control and…
