Have you ever longed to see death destroyed? Think of all of the havoc death has wreaked and the pain that it has caused.

Have you ever wondered how it could be possible for bodies that are buried and decay to ever be raised to life again? The idea almost seems inconceivable. And even if it were possible, do we really want to be stuck in our bodies forever? These are a few of the questions that Paul addresses in these verses. Let’s see what he has to say.…

How do we deal with the tension between the reality of death and the promises of resurrection? What does it look like to grieve in hope? How can facing death give us a greater appreciation for the resurrection? How does distancing ourselves from death end up distancing ourselves from the depths of God’s love for us? How does Jesus show us what it l…

Paul tells the Corinthians that if we have put our hope in Christ for this life only then we are above all the most to be pitied. Why does he say that? In this message we will consider what it was about Paul’s life that would lead him to make this statement and we will consider what it would look like for us to imitate him in this even as he was im…

Pastor Caleb Haynes speaks on God's presence with us throughout generations.

Have you ever felt stuck in some area of your life and begun to doubt that there was any way you were ever going to change? Have you ever had someone give up on you and begun to think that maybe they were right? If you have then you are not alone. In the Gospels we read the story of someone who had failed so terribly that he must have wondered if t…

The Jonah saga continues!

Rev. Emily guides us into Jonah part 2!

In this episode, our board member, Emma Tautolo preaches on Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, leading up to Easter Sunday. 🌿 It commemorates Jesus Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in all four canonical Gospels. During this event, crowds spread palm branches on the road before Jesus as he rode int…

Why did Jesus welcome the praise and coronation of those that he knew would abandon him, deny him, and betray him less than one week later? Because Jesus came to save sinners! Jesus alone is worthy to do it. For everyone who confesses their sin and cries out to Jesus, "Hosanna! - Save me!" - then Jesus will bring you through the tribulation of this…

Pastor Emily guides us into a multi-week series around Jonah!

Some verses are hard to understand. In I Corinthians 14:34 Paul writes that “Women should keep silent in the churches.” What does Paul mean in this verse and how does it relate to I Corinthians 11:5 where Paul seems to approve of women praying and prophesying? In this message we will take a deep dive into two different ways to interpret these verse…

Were headship and submission a part of God’s good plan for husbands and wives before the fall or are they actually the result of sin? If they were a part of God’s good plan then how is it fair that husbands get the role of headship while wives are called to submit? These are just a few of the questions we will consider as we try and discern the rol…

Why do you go to the church service? Are there things that you are hoping to get from it that you don’t think you can get anywhere else? How important do you think your presence there is? In 1 Corinthians 14 Paul answers many of these questions by telling us what he wants to see take place at the gathering. In this chapter we soon realize that we a…

The gift of tongues has been the source of a lot of confusion, disagreement, division and hurt among Christians. There are some who view tongues as the ultimate sign of one’s spirituality, while there are others who believe that it is a form of paganism that has crept back into the church. Given the massive gap between these two positions, what are…

In I Corinthians 14 Paul commands the Corinthians to “Earnestly desire the Spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.” But what exactly does that mean? Is this something we should still be doing today or was this just for the early church? Christians have answered these questions differently throughout the years and in this sermon, we will …

How does love respond to all of the obstacles that come against it? Here in I Corinthians 13:7 we see that love "bears all things" in order to keep on loving. That means that love knows no excuses? But how can love keep loving in really difficult situations? And what does that even look like? These are some of the questions we will consider in this…

Rejoicing at wrongdoing is the opposite of love and it robs us of true joy – a joy that is found in the love of God for sinners and a love that rejoices with the truth. Jesus embodied this perfect love and truth for us so that we might be forgiven, healed, and empowered to love others with the love that God has shown to us at the cross of Jesus Chr…

How do you respond when people sin against you? For most of us our first response to being sinned against is anger. But Paul tells us that love is not easily angered. And how do we keep people who have hurt us from hurting us again. Well for most of us we keep track of what they have done in order to protect ourselves from being hurt. But Paul tell…

Hear an update from the Ponder family!

Caleb Gerdom shares about the mysteries of the birth of Jesus!

As Paul continues his description of what love is and is not, he comes to this little phrase, "love does not insist on its own way." In a world where we are constantly making decisions, how do we live in a way that considers more significant than ourselves? Listen and hear how the gospel fixes our eyes on the God who didn't insist on his own way fo…

There are times where you and I read God's word in the morning and then find that by the end of the day we can barely even remember what it is that we read. In this message we want to talk about what it looks like not to merely read God's Word but to truly engage with the living God through his Word. It is our prayer that this year all of us would …

What are you ultimately living your life for? Would your daily rhythms and habits demonstrate that or something else? Listen and hear how the good news of how bright our future is gives us the grace to wait upon Jesus in ways that demonstrate that he is our greatest treasure.Av Wes Van Fleet

Around Christmas time it’s not uncommon for us to do everything we can to ignore the darkness in this world in the hopes of enjoying the holidays. Of course we often find that trying to ignore the darkness leaves us feeling a little bit alone. But the truth is that Christmas has never been about ignoring the darkness or pretending that everything i…

What happens to the promises of God when we mess up? Have you ever asked yourself that question?

One of the great blessings of life are the relationships that God gives us. And yet one of life’s greatest tragedies is the way that distance and sin and death come and separate us from the people that we have grown to love. Of course these broken relationships and the pain that they bring us are only a shadow of our broken relationship with God an…
