Who are the book, TV, or movie characters you first think of as helping others? Superman? Mr. Rodgers? Who else? Do you have anything in common with them? Could you play a similar role in the lives of others?

Join us as we continue our message series, "Traveler: Where is God taking me?" with Part 6: Rock and Role. We'll look at 1 Peter 2:4-12 and see how we may be called to take on a role we hadn't thought of for ourselves before.

Traveler

This time of year, many people like to travel to warmer places. We pick a destination with the promise of blue skies, warm waters, and maybe some warm sand for our toes. Then we load up the car and set off on the open road, leaving all the cold weather behind, looking for rest and relaxation.

Sometimes we anticipate life being something like that once we have said yes to Jesus and decide to follow Him. But it isn’t that easy. We may experience roadblocks, road rage, or feel lost and alone. Other times, we may feel like we are stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire in the pouring rain. Frustrated, disillusioned, and lonely, the question echoes in your head, “Where is God taking me and why is it so hard?”

Whether you are new to faith, checking out faith, or have been following Jesus for years, there are answers, directions, and rest areas in the letter that Peter, one of Jesus' closest friends, wrote. Join us for our series based on 1 Peter, Traveler: Where is God taking me?

Home for the Holidays

Home for the Holidays! It’s a comforting thought, isn’t it? For most of us, the idea of being home during the holidays ushers in thoughts of family, warmth, and shelter. It’s a time for coming together, sharing past memories, and creating new memories, even when life wasn’t always perfect together. For others, the idea of home brings up many other emotions, from losing home to looking for home to longing for home. The good news is that each one of us can come home for the holidays, which fortunately doesn’t mean moving back in with our parents. That yearning for home that all of us experience is only satisfied by coming home to God. His promise is that we can be at home with Him forever more. Join us this holiday season as we discover what it means to live at home in this crazy world and the world to come.

Twisters: When God's Words Get Twisted

Until recently, tornados, or twisters, have rarely touched down in the Finger Lakes, but most of us are aware of the unimaginable havoc and tragedy they can bring into life. Likewise, twisted Scriptures have a similar power to hurt us. When God’s Words are misunderstood, misinterpreted, or misapplied, they can ravage your well-being in many ways - spiritually, emotionally, and in some cases, even physically.

Join us as we look at some of the most commonly twisted Scriptures, such as “Train up a child,” Proverbs 22:6; "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you,” Jeremiah 29:11-13; “I can do all things through Christ,” Philippians 4:13; and “All things work together for good,” Romans 8:28. You won't want to miss our new 12-part series, Twisters: When God’s Words Get Twisted!

The Seeking King

Everyone longs for a leader they can trust to give them prosperity, stability, and security. That’s what we hope for in every election, in our job, in our relationships, and in a crisis. It is also what people in the Old Testament longed for in a leader. However, no matter what leader they had, eventually they were disappointed. Even King David, a man after God's own heart, let everyone down. The silver lining in all of this is that when human leaders overpromise and underdeliver, they point to the perfect leader and king. Join us as we see how David's story points to a king who never disappoints in The Seeking King: A Man After God's Own Heart.

Faithfulness

Join us as Josh DePasacreta, our new Associate Pastor, explores the theme of faithfulness in scripture, focusing on the faithfulness of God and what faithfulness means for a believer in Jesus.

Life Hacks

Join us for this new series based on Ephesians 5:20-6:10. We'll look at God's advice on how to be a better adult, kid, spouse, friend, date, parent, employer, employee... HUMAN.

Jesus Never Said That...

Jesus shared a lot of wisdom while He was here on Earth. And lately, He also seems to share a lot on Instagram, on printed mugs, and in those images your aunt posts on Facebook. But how much of it is true? Where’s the line between what He actually told us, and what Jesus never said? Join us this Easter for “Jesus Never Said That...” and find out what Jesus really said!
