Among Jesus’ closest friends—other than the twelve disciples—was a small family of adult siblings: Martha, Mary, and Lazarus. If you have brothers and sisters, you know they can challenge you more than anyone else in the world. Yet they can inspire love, loyalty, and (sometimes) spiritual growth, as well. This Sunday, at our 9:30 a.m. English-language service, Associate Pastor Carolyn Hansen’s sermon is Martha and Mary: Sisters Who Loved the Same Lord. We can learn from both of these sisters, as they learned from each other.

In our continuing series on the men and women of the Bible, on this fourth Sunday of Advent, Associate Pastor Carolyn Hansen will look at Anna—a prophet and one of the very first witnesses to the Messiah Jesus after the shepherds of Bethlehem. St. Luke gives us her impressive biography. We can feel her impact to this day.

Join us on Sunday, December 19, at 9:30 a.m.!

In our sermon series on Bible characters, we are continuing to explore the women found in Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus. This week–the second Sunday in Advent–Associate Pastor Carolyn Hansen will discuss “Mary, Mother of Jesus.” Mary is, of course, the most famous of all women in the Bible—even better known than Eve, the mother of all humanity. She has much to teach us about how to live.

Join us at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday for our English-language service. (The Spanish service begins at 11 a.m.)

Bathsheba is a mysterious figure, an almost blank slate whose actions are not always explained in the biblical record. The interpretations we have of her may say more about the men who wrote those interpretations than about Bathsheba herself. In this Sunday’s sermon, Pastor Carolyn Hansen will discuss “The Life of Bathsheba,” wife of David, mother of Solomon, and ancestor of Jesus—and what she can teach us today. Join us at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday!

We’re continuing our sermon series on men and women of the Bible. And certainly one of the most important characters in the Bible was Moses.  He led the Hebrew people out of slavery in Egypt, and to the very edge of the Promised Land.  He gave God’s chosen people the law of God that reflected the will of God.  He was another imperfect man that was used by God in a mighty way.  While God may not speak to us through a burning bush, there are some important lessons to be learned from this man of God.
