Now I’m not one who normally likes to fit the typical mould. I stand out in a crowd more often than I blend in. I’d rather make my own picture than coloring one that someone else creates for me. But there are times when it’s necessary to color inside the lines. As a parent I…
This week in worship it was time to get real. It was time to be honest, bold and hold nothing back. Our world is trying to rip the words of the Bible out of our hands. People are redefining terms to fit their agenda. And while all of this is happening, the church is sitting…
Three pretty significant things happen in the text for this past Sunday’s message. Feel free to check that out here. The Bible story was from John 2:1-12. It’s a familiar passage commonly referred to as the Wedding at Cana or the Water into Wine Miracle. Many of us approach this passage with questions and wonder…
This week we take another famous section of Scripture and look at it from another angle. It’s called the wedding at Cana. Jesus performs his first miracle there.

This year for Christmas we take an unusual journey to find the real meaning of Christmas. Listen in to Christmas Eve 2018 as Pastor Derrick takes us into a conversation that didn’t necessarily happen but explains why Christmas is so important. Check out the latest message!
Darkness is sometimes comforting because you can hide the things you don’t want seen. But darkness is also somewhat terrifying because we don’t know what’s lurking in the dark recesses of our lives. This week we journey into the darkness to find the power of the light. We look at one verse in John’s gospel…
It’s kind of a weird statement. God is our living branch? What’s that about anyway? A shoot from a stump will grow into a tree? How does that apply to my life? I don’t even have trees in my lawn? This week we journey closer to the celebration of Christmas. In this journey we find…
God is with us here, now, today. He’s with us in the good times and in the bad times. He’s with us when we’re on the mountain tops and when we’re stuck in the valleys. This week we focus on the storms of life. God with us in the storms reminds us that even when…
