Easter Sunday
On Easter, the disciples thought they’d come to the end of the road, that all hope and even God had been lost. Instead, the road led to new, eternal, triumphant life for all the world! Jesus’ resurrection means that nothing, not even death, is more powerful than God. Life wins, love wins, God wins, and we win. This is the good news we’ve all been hoping for!
Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday is when we remember that the whole community of Jerusalem joined together to welcome Jesus in joy. We joined together like those people so long ago, to remember that Jesus brings healing that will save us from the world and from ourselves. Our children's ministry lead us in a palm parade around the Sanctuary during our opening song. Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna in the highest!

The Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tries to do what all preachers have done and tell us how we should live our daily lives as people who follow the way of Jesus. This includes what we do with our wealth, our resources and our stuff. There is a way we can use our stuff to find joy and delight, to receive love, and to give love. There's a way our stuff can use us and own us. Are we letting our heart serve our stuff, or are we serving God?

There is Another Way: The Sermon on the Mount
This week in the Sermon on the Mount series, Pastor Meredith talks about the extensions. The "extensions" in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:17-20, Matthew 5:43-48) are Jesus’ deeper interpretations of the Law, moving beyond mere outward obedience to address the heart's intent. Jesus brings the people back to the core values. He wants to change their hearts not just their behaviors. How can we change in our hearts to love thy neighbor as ourselves? Even the neighbor that doesn't look like you or act like you?
There is Another Way: The Sermon on the Mount
On this first Sunday of March and second week of the There is Another Way sermon series, pastor Meredith preaches on the values of heaven. Matthew 5:1-12 gives us those values through the Beatitudes. "We can't do much in the world if we are sad or mourning, if we are weighed down with frustration and anger because the world is just not what it's supposed to be. And what Jesus is saying is, you are blessed just the way you are. The road can be difficult, and yet can be full of blessings. "
