Evening Series: Joshua
In our Sunday evening services, Pastor Wright is teaching a series through the book of Joshua. This is an Old Testament book of action and intrigue with many exciting characters, but there is only one real hero of the book: Yahweh, the faithful God of the covenant. As Israel’s story unfolds, we see in it our own story. We also learn that Joshua of the Old Covenant pointed forward to the greater Joshua to come: Jesus Christ. Join us each Sunday as 5PM as we follow Israel into the Promised Land and are refreshed in the vision of our great covenant God.

New Sermon Series – Luke’s Nativity Hymns
In preparation for the celebration of Christ’s incarnation, Pastor Wright will preach on the four “Nativity Hymns” in the Gospel of Luke. These passages have often been set to music and have become known by Latin titles: Magnificat (Mary’s song in Luke 1.46-56), Benedictus (Zacharias’s prophecy in Luke 1.67-79), Gloria (Angels’ praise in Luke 2.14), and Nunc Dimittis (Simeon’s song in Luke 2.29-32).
Join us on Sunday mornings as we worship and explore together these rich passages from God’s Word.
