  • 4/22/18, Rev. Dan Elmore ~ Jesus is In the House! Trophy Cases
    Pastor Dan preached at all 3 services. Jesus is in the house! Did you know that? If we claim to follow him, Jesus is in our household of faith, the Church, and in our households of family and friends, however they are composed. So then, how are we to live within our households if Jesus is there? This is the fundamental question that Paul addresses in his fir […]
  • 4/15/18, John Hamilton ~ Missions Celebration. Let Your Life Speak!
    John Hamilton preached at all 3 services. John and Lisa Hamilton are the One Mission Society (OMS) team leaders for Uruguay. After serving 10 years in various pastoral and team roles in Bogotá and Medellín, Colombia, John and Lisa moved to Montevideo in early 2003. The OMS team in Uruguay currently works in partnership with Christ Church, an interdenominatio […]
  • 4/8/18, Rev. Dan Elmore ~ Witnesses
    Pastor Dan preached at all 3 services. On Easter we heard about the first witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus, and how they told others about what they saw and experienced. What have you seen and experienced about Jesus? Did you know we’re all being called to the witness stand? We will hear a witness from someone in the addiction recovery community and ho […]
  • 4/1/18, Rev. Jay Hanke ~ Traditional Service Easter Message. Our Leader Moves from Death to Life
    Pastor Jay preached at all 3 services on March 18, 2018. Of course it is no surprise that this Sunday is EASTER! And we all know there will be flowers and brass and triumphant music and favorite hymns and excited children and dressed-up adults and both Alleluias and Hallelujahs and even rumors of an empty grave and eternal life . . . and there will be a stor […]
  • 4/1/18, Rev. Dan Elmore ~ Common Ground Easter Message: Our Leader Moves from Death to Life
    Pastor Dan preached at common ground on Easter. Our Leader Moves from Death to Life Many of us love all the traditions of Easter, including the flowers, music and dressing up in our Easter best! We can worship in various ways though, including this informal service where you might see folks wearing anything from shorts and t-shirts to dresses, suits and ties […]
  • 3/25/18, Rev. Dan Elmore ~ Palm Sunday: Our Leader Moves from Quick Fix to Reality
    Pastor Dan preached at all 3 services. As Palm Sunday approaches, the old cheer comes to mind: “What do we want?” “Change/Victory/Whatever!” “When do we want it?” “Now!” That mindset of the masses was prevalent as Jesus rode into Jerusalem, and it’s still prevalent today. We want what WE want and we want it NOW. We are eager for the quick fix… and in three e […]
  • 3/18/18, Rev. Jay Hanke ~ Leading from Despair to Possibility
    Pastor Jay preached at all 3 services on March 18, 2018. Our names are important to us. We do not like for them to be mispronounced, misspelled, forgotten, or used as a launching pad for making a joke about us. For many of us, there is behind our name a story, or an ethnicity, or a nationality, or a significant historic connection, or all of these! Behind th […]
  • 3/11/18, Rev. Dan Elmore ~ Leading from Bondage to Freedom
    Pastor Dan preached at all 3 services. What do we choose to see? Have you ever thought of that? If you wander through an art museum you often find several people looking at the same painting yet choosing to see different aspects from each other. Children often pass the time on summer days by lying down, looking at the clouds, and seeing different animals in […]
  • 3/4/18, Rev. Jay Hanke ~ Leading from Emptiness to Wholeness
    Pastor Jay preached at all 3 services on March 4, 2018. Given the multiplicity of water fountains, coffee shops, healthy drink options, and fancy drink containers, we probably find ourselves hydrated all the day long. In fact, the concept of “thirst” is lost on us, because if we are ever thirsty, the remedy is easily within reach. Jesus knows that we thirst […]
  • 2/25/18, Rev. Dan Elmore ~ Leading from Darkness to Light
    Pastor Dan preached at all 3 services. John 3:16 is probably the most well known verse of the Bible. We see it on signs and car decals. Athletes write it on their uniform in some way. It’s one of the first verses we teach to our children. Yet, we cannot take these words out of their context. Someone comes to Jesus under cover of darkness, and Jesus ends the […]
