On Sunday, July 24, 2022 at 12:30 we gathered as a church family to welcome five new church members, and dedicate six children through baptism…

Mary Magdalene has the high honor of being not only the first person to see the risen Jesus, but the first person in history to proclaim, “I have seen the Lord!” (John 20:18)…

Why this blog post about women in ministry?…

This is to My Father’s glory that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples. As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. John 15:8-9

You might be familiar with John 15. It is Jesus’ description of Himself as the Vine and believers in Him as branches – it is about His love, and how all that we do now as believers in Him – how we grow – “stems” from the supply of His love.

My letter was prompted by something posted by my relative on Facebook… The posting on Facebook was not only baseless and offensive, it was degrading… Most troubling is that I consider this individual a Christian and someone who shares my faith.

I am preaching three messages from the book of Galatians over the next few weeks as our church approaches and celebrates our 25th anniversary on May 23, Pentecost Sunday.

In discussing God’s justice and the importance of Christian involvement in society, I want to make a brief comment on the phrase “social justice” that has become controversial recently…

I will be speaking more about justice this Sunday. Coming back to a recent Sunday School class, and the question about  “equity” – the difference between equality and equity is a little hard to work out, isn’t it?

In a recent Sunday School class, I used the word “equity” and was asked about its meaning. The larger question being discussed was the position or practice of our church on justice issues in society. How much our own ministry should be or will be influenced by concerns about what is happening in our society?

It was great to be back and see so many of you on Easter Sunday! I appreciated some comments that I received through email and other interactions on the phone or in person about the sermon on Easter Sunday. After thinking about it a little more…

Good Friday 受難節 All-Church Worship Service April 2, 2021 4月2日2021年    

“As to why [God works this way] we literally know nothing. But this much is certain, that he who pays attention to things at large and observes what goes on around him, can only and alone hold on to the wisdom and goodness of God by faith.”

Theologian Abraham Kuyper, 1837-1920

Do we grasp that we are His appointed representatives, bearing His name for the sake of His kingdom? How do my sins, my decisions or my plans, effect the spiritual battle in which the church is now engaged? What is my working view of our church fellowship’s significance?

Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me.
Psalm 51:12.

I cannot really make up for what I have done… What should we do? …In his book, Prayer, Tim Keller helpfully notes that prayer is the way we know God, the way we finally treat God as God…

During February: Missions Emphasis month, there will be a 20-minute sharing time with the English Ministry Guest Speaker after the Worship Service.

…during Lent, Psalm 51 helps us examine ourselves and consider if there is anything we can do (or need to stop doing). Are the choices that I have made – or that I am making – building up the church?

The season of Lent is a time to contemplate the pardoning grace of God and our personal need of it…

This year, our Stewardship thoughts are this: If you are facing a personal or financial crisis this year, please don’t hesitate to contact any of our pastors or deacons… If God has blessed you and sustained you materially this year, we hope you will prayerfully consider how you can further the church’s ministries through your financial gifts.

If you have not done so already and are able, get out and vote! Let’s pray for, and seek after, honesty, humility, and charity in the United States of America. May the Lord Jesus, our Savior from heaven, give us wisdom and insight; grace and peace; humility and love.
