This Sunday we’ll look at God’s invitation to communion. As Jesus lived in ongoing communion with his Father, he now invites us, through him, to have that same ongoing relationship of communion with the God who loves us.

Boasting in Weakness

This Sunday we are finishing up our series on 2 Corinthians by looking at chapter 12:1-10, and the words of Jesus to Paul: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The places of greatest struggle are the places where we can most powerfully experience God’s grace.

Sowing Generously

This week we look at chapter 9, where we are encouraged to give so we can receive so much more: an abundant harvest of provision, gratitude, community, and eternal reward.

Generous grace

This week we come to a new section of Paul’s letter, chapters 8 and 9, where he talks about the how the Gospel transforms every aspect of our lives, including the way we use our money.

Swallowed by Life

This Sunday, we’ll continue our study of 2 Corinthians by looking at the first part of chapter 5. Derek Mondeau will be preaching on the good news of Easter that our mortal bodies are already being swallowed up by resurrection life!

Treasures in Clay Jars

The passage this week is probably one of the most famous of the whole book. Paul’s metaphor of having “treasure in clay jars” is a powerful image that communicates what it means to have tremendous power (the treasure of the gospel and the Holy Spirit) in such apparent weakness (the “clay jar” of our mortal bodies).

Letters of the Spirit

This Sunday, we’re continuing our series on 2 Corinthians by looking at the way God uses weak people to make known the truth and power of the gospel.

The God of All Comfort

This Sunday we kick off a series on 2 Corinthians titled “Power In Weakness.” We’ll look at Paul’s counter-cultural invitation to see that real power comes not through strength but through weakness. As Jesus’s resurrection triumph comes through apparent defeat of the cross, so now the cross and resurrection gives us the basic pattern for the Christian life.

Fear Not!

This Sunday we’re privileged to hear from Fakhri Yacoub, pastor of our sister congregation the Christian Arabic Church. Fakhri will be preaching about the difference Jesus’ resurrection makes to help us overcome fear.
