WORSHIP SUNDAY 8:45am and 10:30am
All are Welcome Here!
Pastor's Sermon:
This Lent… Tell Me Some Good News.
The world is loud with fear, division, and despair. But Jesus walked toward the cross, doing something radical. He kept showing up with good news for the people the world had written off.
He sat with the outcasts. He touched the untouchable. He fed the hungry without asking if they deserved it. He told stories about a Kingdom where the last are first, the doors are wide open, and nobody gets turned away from the table.
The good news is joyful like fine wine saved for celebration. It smells like perfume poured out with reckless, wasteful love. It tastes like bread that somehow never runs out. It looks like an empty tomb. It sounds like laughter and feels like mercy — for everyone.
The road to the cross was an act of resistance against every empire, system, and power that says some people matter less. And the good news is still alive, still resisting, still healing, still making room.
Come hear it again. There's a seat for you at this table.
