3-29-2026 “A Surprising Journey” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

March 30, 2026 • 23 mins
Holy Week is finally here. This is arguably the most moving week for us as followers of Jesus. It’s a week that changed the course of history. It’s a week that defines us, inspires us, and gives us life as we hear, observe, and celebrate everything Jesus accomplished on our behalf to bring hope, love, and life back to us and our world. As we continue our Worship in the Wilderness series, we’ll look at this part of Jesus’ journey as...

3-22-2026 “A Truth-Speaking Journey” by Pastor Kent Schnegelberger

March 23, 2026 • 20 mins
We continue with our Lent series, Worship in the Wilderness, thinking about the wilderness and about this journey we are on with our Lord together. This week we’re going to focus on the need to speak Truth in our increasingly secular society. We live in a wilderness, of that there is no doubt. And there are more and more voices claiming truth. How do we discern? Where do we look for real Truth? Come join together in worship on Sund...

We continue with our Lent series, Worship in the Wilderness, thinking about the wilderness and about this journey we are on with our Lord together. This week we’re going to focus on the sacrificial journey Jesus took for all of us. We’ll look more closely at what that journey looked like. We’ll also consider His invitation to us to think about what that sacrifice means for us and the lives we lead as we follow Him.

We continue with our Lent series, Worship in the Wilderness, thinking about the wilderness and about this journey we are on with our Lord together. This week we’re going to focus on how hard this journey in the wilderness can be. We’ll think about lament and sorrow that we feel at different times and for different reasons. We’ll of course be mindful of our Lord’s sorrow that He expresses in multiple ways as well. Our Lord knows us ...

We continue with our Lent series, Worship in the Wilderness, thinking about the wilderness and about this journey we are on together and with our Lord. This week we’re going to focus on simplicity. We’re going to simplify the worship service a bit and we’ll take a look at how our Lord calls us to live our lives as we follow Him, thinking about the place that simplicity can play in our lives.

2-22-2026 “A Spirit-led Journey” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

February 23, 2026 • 24 mins
Our new Lent series, Worship in the Wilderness, began on Ash Wednesday. This Sunday we’ll begin exploring what being in the wilderness can entail. We’ll consider the different kinds of roads that have brought us to worship and to the place we’re at in this season of our lives. We’ll look at what being in the wilderness is and what it is not – specifically, as Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness after His baptism, how th...

2-15-2026 “Blinding Light and Darkness Overcome” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

February 17, 2026 • 24 mins
We hear about Jesus’ transfiguration as we wrap up the Epiphany season. This miraculous and spell-binding experience for three of Jesus’ disciples is almost beyond description. Peter tries to explain it in his second letter as he reminds us where we need to remain grounded – in God’s Word. It is His Word that we have to pay attention to, “as to a light shining in a dark place.” It is a life-giving Word by which darkness is overcome...

2-8-2026 “The Darkness of Injustice” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

February 9, 2026 • 23 mins
Isaiah is preaching a very harsh sermon – one where he is uncovering all manner of darkness in the form of injustice. Do we see it? Do we care about it? Or are we letting that darkness simply cover us and cover up sin and evil and brokenness all around us? It’s not all doom-and-gloom, though, because we have the Lord who continues to love us and guide us. Isaiah expresses what the Lord will do and some amazing ways He’s going to ch...

2-1-26 “Foolishness and Darkness: Two Peas in a Pod” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

February 2, 2026 • 26 mins
The church in Corinth was a real mess! In the opening verses of St. Paul’s first letter to them, he expresses pretty clearly and pretty quickly the bottom-line of the Gospel – that is, the message of the cross. He contrasts God’s wisdom with human wisdom and there’s not much comparison to be made! The foolishness comes in us thinking how smart and fine and wise we are – when, in reality, that is all just another form of darkness. W...

1-25-26 “You Can’t Follow in the Dark!”  by Pastor Glen Schlecht

January 26, 2026 • 22 mins
From Isaiah, we hear a refrain about darkness and light that we heard from Isaiah 60 on the first Sunday of the series. We’ll revisit that but from the context of following Jesus. We hear Jesus’ invitation to Peter and Andrew to come and follow Him. We also hear St. Paul in the 1 Corinthians 1 reading the need to sort out who it is we’re supposed to be following – there was great confusion in Corinth over what all this meant. Botto...

1-18-26 "Seeing in the Dark" by Pastor Glen Schlecht

January 20, 2026 • 21 mins
In John 1, Jesus is beginning to call and gather His disciples. He’s going about it all backward in comparison to the “regular” rabbis of the day. Normally students or disciples seek out a teacher or rabbi to follow but we see Jesus seeking the disciples and inviting them to follow – and they, in turn, are telling their brothers and friends also to come and see. He’s calling them out of darkness and into His light, which they do no...

1-11-26 “Darkness Washed Away” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

January 12, 2026 • 25 mins
We hear of Jesus’ baptism by John in the Jordan and the beginning of His public ministry. This Sunday provides the opportunity to talk about the blessing and the gift of baptism, even though the baptism Jesus institutes at His ascension is different than the baptism He received from John. In Isaiah 42, we have one of the Servant Songs of Isaiah, which also provides images of both darkness and light/hope – a bruised reed, a smolderi...

1-4-26 "Darkness Overcome" by Pastor Glen Schlecht

January 5, 2026 • 21 mins
We start this Epiphany series with this powerful prophecy from Isaiah. He speaks very directly of darkness, a deep darkness God’s people were mired in because of the exiles and the horrors of those experiences. The darkness runs deep but the light is not overcome. We hear from Isaiah the proclamation of a future reality that we know will be Jesus, as God’s promise of a Savior is fulfilled. Isaiah sees this as a reality, even though...

12-28-25 "The Thrill of Hope" by Pastor Robin Dugall

December 29, 2025 • 33 mins
It seems like every keen cultural observer has joined many of us in noting that we are living in a world that is filled with hopelessness. Hope might be in short supply in society at large but it is the lifeblood of followers of Jesus. The Bible unapologetically and joyously proclaims what each of us know in Christ - in HIM we have a LIVING hope! In Jesus we have a hope that transcends whatever circumstance and challenge we face.

This night is filled with lights and singing – from the angels proclaiming that the time has come. It is The Light that has now come into the world – the Light that will lead us home. We join our voices with the angels that night, singing their praises with the shepherds over the King who has been born.

December 22, 2025 • 21 mins
For all of us, we strive for and desire a peace-filled, unbroken home. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case as we all struggle with the brokenness that sin has brought into our world and into our lives on this side of eternity. What we hear today is the promise and assurance of what the unbroken home will be – established by Jesus Himself. We look forward to the fulfillment of these Advent promises.

While we won’t be talking a lot about clicking the heels of our ruby red shoes, as followers of Jesus, we know that there’s no place like home! We’ll focus on the blessings that we can experience in our times of worship, when we gather here at “home” with the Lord, and are reminded of the powerful promises He holds out for us – promises that we can share with others to help them see the blessings of home!

11-30-25 “Far From Home” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

December 1, 2025 • 22 mins
Using the prophet Isaiah and the pending exiles of God’s people, the messages the Lord provides are messages that revolve around “home.” This week, the first of our Advent series, we recognize how, at Christmas, God leaves his home to enter our exile so that, by grace through faith, we might be brought home to him—a gift we could never earn but freely receive in Christ. We’ll consider the many times and the many ways that we can fi...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
