What’s Under Your Tree This Year? For the next four Sundays your Trinity Pastors will be opening one by one a very different set of gifts for us in worship. Our Advent and Christmas worship series is entitled, Unwrapping the Names of Jesus. Each week we will ‘open up’ one or two of the unique names or titles that were given to Joseph and Mary’s son and consider the deeper meanings behind them. Each name or nickname reveals an essential characteristic of the One who was born in a manger, died on a cross, and rules at the right hand of Almighty God.

I don’t believe I’ve ever heard a sermon on the violence in the Old Testament. And yet, it’s a topic young adults ask about, new Christians are baffled by, and non-Christians feel is a major barrier to faith in Jesus. Hmm… what if, instead of avoiding it, we steered the ship right into the storm! I’m going to do my darnedest to do just that on the 18th and the 25th. Truthfully, this topic probably warrants more than two Sundays, but that little thing called Advent is just around the corner… When it comes to the Old Testament violence, honestly, I feel I have more questions than answers (so if you feel the same way you are in good company), but we’re gonna tackle the topic anyway! And I’m certain that God will guide us, and we’ll be stronger for it.

A new sermon series addressing topics from the Bible that you said, "I've Never Heard A Sermon On". Pastor Tim and Pastor Bryan will be pulling from the responses to a congregational and Facebook survey.

We continue a very important worship series designed to help each of us consider how we might become more like Jesus. What is the next step for me to take in my prayer life, in my relationships, in serving others, in understanding scripture, in giving God my very best? It is far too easy and far too common for followers of Jesus to get stuck in a rut and to let our inner light grow dim.
