August 19, 2025 : Is It Time to Be Countercultural?

In person and Livestreaming on Facebook and on our YouTube Channel. To give to the ministry of the church: Ways to Give.  

The speed at which we live, at which we move through time, at which we see the people around us living and moving through time is a speed that Pastor John contends none of us really want. Especially for families. The scripture texts in the church year and as we approach Labor Day begs the question as to whether the ancient practice of the Sabbath has anything to say about how we live today. We are not interested in going back to boring Sundays with stores closed, but we do wonder: what is lifegiving about the ancient notion of Sabbath for today’s busy people. Choir sings.

Community service & mission outreach are our passions.

“I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.”
—Jeremiah 1:8

Take Me to the Water

We are living through a time when all the stories the larger culture tells us about ourselves are being rewritten: the story of what the United States is; what it means to be a man or a woman; what it means to be a child; what it means to love oneself or other people. And what it means to be the church. Some say the church is being dismantled; others say the church is aging out, no longer relevant. Regardless of our assessment of the church, we are all looking for what can be a comfort and a guide. In this episode Pastor John touches upon what is core to the church while acknowledging its pitfalls and of the Spirit of God that names our true identity and addresses our spiritual hunger. That has us going to the water’s edge as we follow Jesus to the Jordan River (Mark 1). This episode features a medley of river-based themes (“River to Pray”) and “Into the Jordan” (Briana Tyson, vocalist).
