In your travels around the area, you may have encountered small signs that read “Got Junk?” or “Junk Hauling” with a phone number to call or web address to visit. While those guys can certainly help you with your physical junk, when it comes to the soul they won’t be of any help. None of them will be able to collect and remove that clutter and conflict that lives deep within our being and keeps us from living the abundant life that Jesus describes. Listen in as Pastor Ray shares the second installment of his 3-week series on Simplicity: Finding Peace by Uncluttering Your Life.

Simplify.

Do you remember that task from math class where you had to simplify expressions? In the math world, simplification is the process of reducing an expression to its most basic, efficient form without changing its value. It’s not unlike our lives at times, too. It seems like life in the modern day can become overwhelming due to the complexity of our lives. Well, this Sunday Pastor Ray begins a 3-week series on Simplicity: Finding Peace by Uncluttering Your Life. Body, Soul, and Spirit. The first message is entitled Simplicity in Our Physical World, so listen in!

By the way, that expression simplifies to 5x+7 :)

Some experiences in our lifetimes we are sure we will never forget. And many of those experiences have caused our outlook and lifestyles to change for the better. The same applied to Jesus’ disciples as they experienced what life was like while following Him. Yet, just about the time that it seemed all hope was lost, they experienced the risen Jesus. And that kicked off the disciples’ mission of spreading His Kingdom of peace and servanthood that continues to this very day. In other words, meeting the risen Christ changed everything. And it can change everything for you as well. This Sunday Pastor Brady wraps up our series called “The Road to Easter” as he shares the message “My Peace I Give to You”.

For many who work (or worked) five days a week, Fridays marked the end of what might have been a long, long week. It has been celebrated by working people for a very long time as the start of the weekend, and the general consensus is that Fridays are a good thing. Well, there was one dark Friday in particular that appeared to be the end of hope for His followers as Jesus was crucified and died on a Roman cross. But, that’s not the end of the story! As Jesus followers, we can truly thank God for this particular Friday. This Sunday Pastor Brady continues our series entitled “The Road to Easter” as he shares the message “What Makes it a “Good Friday?”

Do you remember that Pythagorean theorem that you learned in high school geometry class? Well, it has been said that mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras used the letter ‘Y’ as a symbol of a fork in the road where the lower stem represents your ‘undecided’ years as a child. And then in adulthood, you would either choose between the right upper branch representing the narrow, difficult path of Virtue, or the left upper branch representing the broad, easy path of Vice. In other words, the two paths which you would choose between would either lead to wisdom or ruin, respectively (take a look at Matthew 7:13-14). Which path are you on?

Around 750 B.C., the Romans were at war with their neighbors, the Sabines. It was a bitter fight that culminated in the two armies meeting in the Roman Forum for the final battle. As the two armies charged each other, the Sabine women – wives of Romans and daughters of Sabines ran into the center of the battle with their infant children. The armies stopped and lowered their weapons. Seeing the potential personal losses, their leaders met peacefully in the middle and eventually signed a treaty, ultimately merging their two nations into one. These women stood in the “kill zone”, taking the risk of being crushed by both sides. That’s what Jesus did for us to bring the peace that only He can deliver. Listen in as Pastor Brady continues our series entitled “The Road to Easter” as he shares the message “Traps and Truth-Telling”.

Since the fall of mankind, our broken nature is to only look out for ourselves, many times at the expense of others. Unfortunately, that has too often been realized in history past. It’s been the way of many, and the cost has been much suffering, pain, and death. And true peace, whether between persons or nations, has been misinterpreted as “the absence of conflict”. Well, do you want to be part of a revolution? Then you will need to find and practice the whole, complete, and finished peace or Shalom that only Jesus can bring. Only He can make you unbroken. Listen in as Pastor Brady continues our sermon series entitled “The Road to Easter” as he shares the message “Don’t Cross the Line”.
