The Adventure Begins: David & Bathsheba

As a king of ancient Israel, David is often looked to as a model of faith for Jews and Christians alike. Despite this, Pastor Cara Scriven cautions us to do more than just pause as we encounter the illicit tale of David and Bathsheba.

What does David's clear abuse of his authority, his power over others, have to tell us about our own use of the power we have?

The Adventure Begins: Joshua and the Decision

“It’s not enough for you to come to church on Sunday Morning. You have to choose to live the values that Jesus teaches us."

In the scripture text this week (Joshua 24:1-8,13-15), we find Joshua asking the Israelites, “Whom shall you serve?” As we continue our current sermon series studying some of the foundational faith stories from the Hebrew Bible, Pastor Cara Scriven finds a parallel in the movie “The Way”, and relevance in Joshua's question for our personal and communal lives.

The Adventure Begins: The Ten Commandments

On Sunday, Pastor Cara Scriven continued our current sermon series, "The Adventure Begins" with an exploration of the Ten Commandments as found in Exodus 19:3-7; 20:1-17.

Instead of understanding them as a way for an individual to get right with God, Pastor Cara shares how they are best understood as a means to develop healthy, holistic, community for us all.
