08/16/2026 | “The LORD Our Peace” | Judges 6:11-24 and Ephesians 2:13-18
It is easy to confuse peace and relief. They are similar yet quite different. Relief is a temporary reprieve from a consequence or circumstance. It may not, and usually does not, last. It is only present when turmoil is absent. Peace, however, is a quality of being that is present whether there is turmoil or not. Peace rests not upon circumstance but upon the certainty of God’s unbreakable promises and presence. Real peace comes only from God who claims to be “The LORD Our Peace.” Join us as Rev. Bill Holiman preaches from Judges 6:11-24 and Ephesians 2:13-18 as we consider “The LORD Our Peace.”
08/09/2026 | “Perfect Love” | 1 John 4:13-21
We all long for perfect love. Love that satisfies the aches loneliness inflicts, love that fixes all that is broken by life in a fallen world. But where will we find it? Where can we find a love that meets the burden of all our needs and expectations? Join us as we examine 1 John 4:13-21 and discover the power of God’s perfect love upon his children.
08/02/2026 | “What Our Love Reveals” | 1 John 4:7-12
In a world where it is easy to dress up in the costume of false spirituality or live in fear that we are self-deceivers rather than believers, John comforts us by showing how our love for one another reveals the reality of our abiding faith in Christ. Join us as we examine 1 John 4:7-12 and consider how brotherly love reveals the reality of our Christian faith to ourselves and others.
07/19/2026 | “Coping with Spiritual Anxiety” | 1 John 3:19-24
We all wonder. Have I believed enough? Done enough? Been enough? Loved enough? Grace, for all its gifts, sometimes makes us anxious. So, the Lord offers comforting words to those struggling with doubt to help us cope with anxiety and find assurance. Join us as we examine 1 John 3:19-24 and consider John’s comforting words to those struggling with doubt
07/12/2026 | “Brother’s Keeper” | 1 John 3:11-18
Sibling rivalry is nowhere more fierce than at Church. We contend over theology and the color of the carpet with equal intensity. But to love our brothers is a work of God’s sanctifying free grace. And a work we are all commanded to engage. Join us as we examine John 3:11-18 and consider what this commandment to love one another as Christians entails.
07/5/2026 | “Practicing Righteousness” | 1 John 3:4-10
A believers’ assurance is not marked by sinless perfection but by practicing righteousness. One who has little concern over their sin shows contempt, not love, for the one who came to take away sin and to destroy the works of the devil. Join us this week as we examine 1 John 3:4-18 and consider the difference between practicing righteousness and practicing lawlessness.
06/28/2026 | “Plowing in Hope” | 1 John 2:28-3:3
Christians live out assurance by plowing in hope. No matter what struggles, adversities, doubts, or sin beset us, assurance is rooted not in our own strength, but in the “blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” Join us as we examine 1 John 2:28-3:3 and consider the blessed hope that animates our assurance of faith.
06/07/2026 | “The Name of God, Part 1” | Psalm 29, Matthew 6:5-15
God’s name is more than just what we call Him. The names of God in Scripture reflect who He is and what He does. The Biblical names of God reveal His attributes and teach us how we are to praise Him and what we are to expect of Him. We are encouraged to hallow His name and not take it in vain. Our confession reminds us that His name is any way in which He makes Himself known to us. Join us as Rev. Bill Holiman leads us to examine Psalm 29 and Matthew 6:5-15 and consider the significance of God’s name.
06/21/2026 | “The Name of God, Part 2” | Dt 32:1-14, Rev 15
God’s name is more than just what we call Him. The names of God in Scripture reflect who He is and what He does. The Biblical names of God reveal His attributes and teach us how we are to praise Him and what we are to expect of Him. Our confession reminds us that His name is any way in which He makes Himself known to us. Join us as Rev. Bill Holiman leads us to examine Deuteronomy 32:1-14 and Revelation 15 and consider the different expressions of God’s name.
