Sermon Series:
John 20.19-31
Rev. Greg Wissinger
On the first evening after being resurrected, Jesus appeared to his disciples, but one disciple, Thomas, was not with them. Thomas would not take the others' word that Jesus had been raised from the dead. When Jesus appeared to them again a week later, Thomas was able to see for himself the resurrected Christ and proclaim, "My Lord and My God." But where was Thomas that first appearance? Why was he absent? What thoughts might Thomas have been wrestling with during that week? Join Pastor Greg as he shares how we might move forward with our lives when we feel like we've missed out on God's blessing in some way.

From Fickle to Faithful. This week we will examine the crowd that surrounded Jesus on the day of his triumphal entry into Jerusalem and reflect how they must have been feeling at the end of the week when Jesus was crucified. Join Pastor Greg as he shares how the wilderness helps to form our faith so that we might be prepared for anything and grow into faithfulness instead of becoming fickle.
On this fifth Sunday in Lent we examine how the wilderness is not only an escape from the world but it is a place where we can learn humility. In a world where worth is measured by likes, platforms, and the dream of going viral--Jesus points us to a different truth. Join Pastor Greg as he shares how real success is found in service, not celebrity and how we can cultivate a heart of humility.
On this fourth Sunday in Lent we examine how the wilderness is not only an escape from the world but it is a place where revelation occurs and wisdom is taught. Join Pastor Greg as he shares from the scriptures the different types of wisdom, why wisdom is essential for a flourishing life and how to acquire the kind of wisdom Jesus talks about.
On this third Sunday in Lent we examine how the Desert Fathers and Mothers, patterning their life after Jesus' call, withdrew to the desert to escape the dangers of materialism and instead focused on the heavenly treasure that Jesus spoke about. Join Pastor Greg as he shares from Jesus' teaching how we can make sure that money and possessions don't rule our lives.
The Wilderness as a Place of Silence and Solitude On this second Sunday in Lent we examine how Jesus regularly withdrew from the noise and demands around him so he could listen clearly to his heavenly Father, remember his identity, and remain faithful to his calling. Join Pastor Greg as he shares how we can follow Jesus' example--intentionally embracing silence and solitude so that we, too, can listen for God's voice and be renewed in purpose.
