February 22, 2026First Sunday in LentSermon Series: "Out of the Wilderness"Sermon Title: “The Devil on Your Shoulder”Rev. Bayo OgungbadeLay Reading: Genesis 2:15-17, 3:1-7Preacher Reading: Matthew 4:1-11On this first Sunday in Lent, we’re going to stand firmly in the middle of the crossroads of the world and the Word. We’re going to join Jesus as he comes face to face with his own temptations, and in turn, we confront our own temptations. Together, we’ll examine our hearts, minds, and spirits, and grow more in our capacity to pay attention to the worldly voices that we ascribe to. Let’s sift through all of the worldly distractions in our lives so that we can see and hear what Jesus is truly calling us to do.The following licenses apply to our worship services throughout the year:CCLI Church Copyright License 1975561, Size C CCLI Streaming License CSPL170027, Size CCCLI SongSelect Premium OneLicense Annual License w/Podcasting, Category DReferences and licenses for our February 22 services:“Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us”Tune: BRADBURYArranged for handbells by Sandra Eithun© 2018, GIA Publications, Inc.

February 15, 2026Sermon Series: "The Time Has Come"Sermon: “What About Justice?” Scriptures: Isaiah 42:1-9, Matthew 25:31-46Rev. Dr. Peter MoonLike last week’s conversation, we struggle in the church to speak about “justice.” The kingdom conversation gives us a biblical way to do it. As we will see, God’s kingdom justice is central to who he is, and how the kingdom works. The challenge is to make this world look more like the kingdom and its justice. How do we do it? As we will see, it requires something that most of us do not desire. There are times when the church, seeking justice, must address the politics of our world. Try as we might, it is difficult to ignore the 66 Bible chapters and the battles within between the kingdom of God and the kingdoms of the world. Justice helps us define and clarify what constitutes these two embattled kingdoms. Prayerfully, as we pursue a biblical picture of kingdom justice, our comfort level will rise as will the quality of our kingdom and political discourse.

February 8, 2026Sermon Series: "The Time Has Come"Sermon: “Kingdom Style Diversity"Scriptures: Isaiah 56:1-8, Revelation 7:9-12Rev. Dr. Peter MoonWe have many different factions fighting over the term diversity. To many, it is just one word in the “woke” concept of DEI. Many process the term politically and as a result, reject it or shy away from it. This solely political lens upon diversity has not been as transformational as we would like. The sermon will highlight a different way. Ethnic diversity is a fundamental characteristic of the kingdom of God. It is clear in our reading from Isaiah, among others, but especially in the picture of the eternal kingdom is Revelation, as all the tribes and nations gather around the throne. Using some contemporary stories of diversity, or lack thereof, the sermon will make a case for forming a new narrative for all of us around diversity, based on the image of the kingdom instead of politics. Prayerfully, this will also enable us to think about our inclusion efforts as a church with deeper understanding and renewed passion.
