Pastor Steve teaches on the gospel and unlcoks the scriptures for us as we put faith first

After nearly a decade of praying and planning, our Building Dedication weekend is upon us! Pr. Steve and Pr. Craig discuss the magnitude of God's call on our collective hearts to re-invest into downtown Cedar Rapids and the people God brings to our doors to serve.

Can you recognize all these voices? Pr. Craig & Pr. Katie muse about the science of voice recognition and how God uses that from the time we are babies through our call into re-birth of eternal life.

Pr. Steve and Pr. Craig muse about hearing voices on the road to Emmaus while Jesus has a real and impressive encounter with a few of his followers. Daniel Luepke expands the conversation and Jasmine Wu and Keith Abkes talk about journeying a different road - a bike path - to carry out Christ's mission to the hungry today.

Pr. Craig shares an inspiring quote from the astronauts traveling to the dark side of the moon who tell us that Jesus is with them in their darkness and will be with us on the other side when light dawns and will be with all of us no matter what darkness we face today.

Pr. Steve talks about the power of Jesus' speaking Mary's name after raising from the dead on Easter Sunday. He says the re-connection between them is the crescendo of the story and is the same for us when Christ speaks our name.

Pr. Craig gives us the behind-the-scenes theology represented in our purple paraments and other artwork in the sanctuary as Christ makes his journey from Palm Sunday to the empty tomb of Easter in a great act of love for the world.

For our milestone 150th episode, Pastors Steve, Craig & Katie spend the entire time talking with each other about their 5 most memorable moments in ministry together over 90 years of collective service to the church.
