Title: What Happens When We Die?
Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower
This week, we conclude our series entitled 20 Minute Theology as we think through what happens when we die. The day is coming for all of us when life will end, what happens next? Do we go to float on a cloud? Spend eternity singing praise songs? This week we consider the hope we have in Christ of eternal life and we imagine what this new life might be like.

Title: What is the Church?
Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower
This week, we continue our series entitled 20 Minute Theology as we think through the purpose of the church. People are made for relationship, to live in community. The church which has been given to the followers of Jesus often provides the community and support we need in life. Perhaps after 5 months apart, we are experiencing anew the importance of gathering together. But,is this the primary function of the church? To be a social club, a spiritual respite, and fortress to protect the avid form the world? Or, did God have something else in mind when he created his church? Join us this Sunday as we consider the Biblical purpose of the church.

Title: Who is God?
Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower
This week, we continue our series entitled 20 Minute Theology as we think through some basics questions of faith led by the Heidelberg Catechism. Over the first three weeks, we saw our identity as beloved children of God, the mess we have created by our sin, and how God joins us in and rescues us from that mess in Jesus. This week, we will be considering what this God who saves us is like as we see him revealed in Jesus who is the image of the invisible God.

Title: How do we get out of this mess?
Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower
This week, we continue our series entitled 20 Minute Theology as we think through some basics questions of faith let by the Heidelberg Catechism. The first week, we considered our identity as the beloved children of God. Two weeks ago, we recognized very few off us experience the kind of vibrant intimate relationship with God we should have as his beloved children, and we thought about how we got in this place. This week, we consider how we get out of the mess we have made of our lives and the world. Of course, no matter how hard we try, we cannot solve the problems our sin has created.

TitLe: A Life Worth Imitating
Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

We continue our sermon series on Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi. Written from prison, this letter is often referred to as Paul’s letter of joy. Looking back over the past 6 months, we have seen: the impeachment of the president, a global health crisis, an economic crisis, and the racial tensions rooted in oppression that began 400 years ago came to the surface in some significant ways. In addition to the national anxiety, personally we have all limited travel, dealt with the anxiety of the unknown, worried about our finances, felt the isolation of physical distancing, and the relational stresses all of this has added to life. We come to this letter of joy carrying our own unique burdens, but in it we see the power of focusing on Jesus even in the midst of our struggles. This week, Paul urges us in chapter 3 to find our worth in Christ, not our religious deeds and to find a mentor to guide us on the path of discipleship.
