  • Palm Sunday 2026 The Weight of a Branch – Mark 11, John 12

    Palm Sunday 2026 The Weight of a Branch – Mark 11, John 12
    2026/03/29
    This week for Palm Sunday we look at a story that is timely and vital to understand today – Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem on the foal of a donkey in Mark 11 and John 12. At a time when frustrations were boiling over with their Roman oppressors, the people of Israel were prepared to put all the weight of their expectations into one man. So, they threw down their palm branches. They threw down their cloaks. They cried out Hosanna! And they, like so many people in human history since that day – put their hope in the human way of doing things. An earthly king, a ruler, a fighter, to give them relief and earthly peace. All of their expectations were placed into these palm branches, thrown down before the Messiah. He came to save – but not in the way any of them expected, through a means more grim, to provide a hope greater than they could have asked for. Join us this Sunday to remember what we know to be true about power and expectations. -Pastor Nate Roschen

  • The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 17

    The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 17
    2026/03/22
    John 17 is the longest recorded prayer of Jesus in the Gospels. Here, He prays for Himself as He faces the cross, for His disciples, and the unity of future believers (us!). It is often called the “High Priestly Prayer” because as Christ was preparing to face the cross and to bear the sins of the world, He paused to intercede on our behalf – just as the High Priests interceded for Israel in the Old Testament. Jesus tells us what His inner thoughts were as He prayed this prayer. He was going to the Father soon, and wanted His disciples to have “the full measure of joy within them” (17:13). Jesus’ words here concerning unity are some of the most compelling in Scripture. As we consider how Jesus prays for us, we reflect on the thought that He had us on His mind, even as He faced the cross. Join us this Sunday as we follow after Him! -Pastor Nate Roschen

  • The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 16

    The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 16
    2026/03/15
    In this week’s study of the book of John, Jesus gives further instruction concerning two important topics. First, He expands upon what He has said earlier in this gospel about the role of the Holy Spirit. Jesus says in verse 7, “Very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away.” Jesus expressed that it was good news that He was departing and sending His Spirit to us. We will explore all of these wonderful benefits together. After this, Jesus shares with us about how He will turn the disciple’s grief into joy. He uses the metaphor of a woman giving birth to explain to the disciples, and to us, what is about to happen. He again does not deny the reality of the pain to come – but reminds them of a sure thing – that it will result in joy and new life. Join us this Sunday as we hear the words of Jesus together. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” – John 16:33 -Pastor Nate Roschen

  • The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 15

    The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 15
    2026/03/08
    In John 15, Jesus offers His seventh and final “I Am” (ego eimi ) statement: I am the Vine. He is the Bread of Life, the Light of the World, the Gate, the Good Shepherd, the Resurrection and the Life, the Way the Truth and the Life, and now – The Vine. There is a lot of beauty and practical thoughts for living wrapped up into this simple metaphor. Jesus makes it clear that apart from Him – we can do nothing. His desire for His people is that we have life, and do good in the world. This has always been God’s desire for His people since Genesis 12. But this is a unique moment in the Bible where Jesus explains the theology behind the instruction, with an analogy that all can understand. Join us this Sunday as we listen to the words of Jesus. -Pastor Nate Roschen

  • The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 14

    The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 14
    2026/03/01
    After a tumultuous and challenging chapter 13, Jesus comforts His disciples in a variety of ways in chapter 14 as He prepares them, and Himself, for His crucifixion. Jesus assures us that He will go to prepare a place for us, promises the Holy Spirit to help and guide His followers, and affirms that He is the way to the Father. This is critical to catch – Jesus does not show us the way to the Father, but tells us that He is the way to the Father. I believe that John’s deepest desire is for us to see that Jesus is the revealer of God and in this revelation, to find life. In our worry about the world, the future – about tomorrow – Jesus comforts us. By what He has to offer, we can know a peace – a peace unlike anything the world has to offer. Join us this Sunday as we find comfort in the Lord. -Pastor Nate Roschen

  • God’s Faithfulness in all Circumstances - 1 Samuel 7

    God’s Faithfulness in all Circumstances - 1 Samuel 7
    2026/02/22
    This Sunday we are going to be exploring 1 Samuel 7, and the invitation God gives us to join His plan of salvation and redemption in the world. Samuel’s call for the Israelites to return to the Lord gives us a clear picture of repentance and reminds us of God’s faithfulness in all circumstances - no matter how near or far we may feel from His presence in our current season. Consider how victory and defeat are defined within God’s economy, and how that impacts every facet of our life. --Micah

  • The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 13

    The Last Gospel: A Survey of John - John 13
    2026/02/15
    From chapter 12 to chapter 13 of John’s Gospel, we move into the second half of this book. The first 12 chapters of John all concern Jesus’ public ministry, where He sought out a wide range of men and women who would believe. As we move into chapter 13, we shift our attention to Jesus’ private ministry. For the next five chapters, Jesus is alone with His disciples, before Jesus’ final glorification in the final few chapters. This week, we look at a quintessential story of Jesus. Jesus weaves together the truth of His upcoming sacrificial death and a model of true servanthood. He does this by lowering Himself to wash the feet of His disciples. There are so many implications here to explore – from Jesus’ mission and purpose, to the way He desires for His followers to live, to what exactly He is trying to teach us about receiving from Him. Join us as we explore this story together! -Pastor Nate Roschen
