How far should we go to control the things we say? James says we should go a lot further than we often do.
Faithtoberfest returns to a crisp autumn night outside of FaithTreeR17;s home, the Upper Room. On October 10 at 6:30 pm we will have a special, in-person and live streamed festival of incredible music from gifted artists all around our area, entertaining skits and terrific gift card prizes! Come in person if you can, because we will have delicious food as part of the festivities, but either way, please RSVP for this yearR17;s event and relive last yearR17;s fantastic festivities, below.

We begin a new series in the Psalms tonight, looking at DavidR17;s lament in Psalm 12. What happens when we feel like evil has triumphed and whatever good we do is fruitless?
When it feels dark, we need the well trod paths of GodR17;s Word to strengthen us so we donR17;t lose hope.
Jim Krenning lights the third (“Joy̶1;) candle as we continue through a special 52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks journey through Advent. Jim takes us to the Gospel of John to think about the joy Jesus offers each of us as a free gift.
John calls us to be vigilant to spiritual threats, offering a message that went against the flow.
Join us for a special New YearR17;s Day Steadfast broadcast we wrap up the journey through John 6 that weR17;ve been taking over Advent during our Sunday night series. Jim presents us with an important question: why do we want to do what we do at church?
We can miss the more urgent thing because we get distracted by the immediate. As we begin exploring John 5, Jesus encourages us not to miss whatR17;s truly important.
Lots of things claim to be of value R12; but which ones really are? Which ones are just so much “Monopoly money̶1;? Pastor Tim explores the question as we continue in John 5 tonight.
