When asked about their religious affiliation, more people than ever are answering, “None of the above.” In particular, 34% of Generation Z (those born after 1996) have no religious affiliation. This is the highest figure of any generation ever. Join us as we look at the necessity of reaching our children with the message of God’s love.

SHOWROOM: GOD’S GLORY ON DISPLAY THROUGH US
EMCC President Kervin Raugust will be sharing with us this Sunday from John 15:8.
“Empty” brings feelings of hopelessness, disappointment, and pain. The holidays can often amplify these feelings. But we are not alone. The disciples were filled with all the disappointment of their expectations, the grief of losing a friend, the worry about what was next, and the hopelessness of the situation. But this emptiness can actually be an invitation to experience the Good News of the Gospel. The tomb is empty because we serve a resurrecting king!
As we enter into the season of Lent, a time of confession and repentance in preparation for Easter, we are confronted by the uncomfortable truth: nobody likes to apologize! Apologizing is hard, even when we know we have done something wrong. Join Pastor Tim as we look at what it means to apologize and three areas that the church needs to apologize for.

This past Sunday was the first Sunday of the Lent season, which is a time of confession and preparation for Easter. But because of our familiarity with our own legal system, I think many of us misunderstand to point and power of confession. So join me as we look at Psalm 51 and unpack what it means to truly confess and repent.

In John 6, Jesus feeds the crowd of 5000 with a little boys lunch of five loaves of bread and two fish. Though it seemed so insignificant and insufficient, God used it in a miraculous way to feed the people. God wants to use you too. Even if you don’t think you have anything to offer, God wants to work through you to accomplish miraculous things. Join Pastor Tim for this short reflection from our special family service this past weekend.
In Psalm 34, David writes, “Taste and see that the Lord is good!” Maybe you’ve seen the phrase written on some art at your local Christian book store, but is it really the nice flowery statement that we have turned it into. Actually, David wrote this Psalm in a time of incredible disappointment and struggle. So join Pastor Tim as he helps us read Psalm 34 in the context it was written and allow it to speak hope into your soul.
