Sara Olson-Smith preaches on the power of God. Rather than worldly strength, God's true power lies in the willingness to suffer and die for others—the ultimate act of love and sacrifice. We are all equal in our need for God's grace, each carrying unique gifts, and are called to unite across our differences as a community that brings love and warmth to one another and our neighbors. We are all bearers of God’s divine mark.

Maddy Tyler preaches on Jesus’ invitation to us. We all search for something to fulfill our lives and give us direction when we're lost. With just three words—"come and see"—Jesus invited the disciples to follow Him, and God continues building something stronger for each of us to discover. Even on our darkest days when we feel unworthy, God is at work creating something new in us, inviting us to come and experience it.

Mark Niethammer preaches on community. Our society often forgets that we were made for community, not division. While God established the world through calls to care for the land and one another, modern culture prioritizes self-interest over collective wellbeing, especially when opinions differ. We belong to each other, and Jesus calls us to love our enemies, feed the hungry, and heal the sick—yet the instinct to divide frequently overshadows these foundational truths.
