Reading:  Acts 15:1-18

The early leaders of the faithful had an ever-growing task on their hands: to keep adding to the numbers of converted while trying to reconcile the old customs with the new message. Opinions are strong, and the young church faces one among many threats of division.

​Sermon:  Pastor Patrick Torbit - "The strange things people have said that make them good with god"

  Gospel:  Luke 24:1-12

It’s been a grueling week for the followers of Jesus, but still they faithfully carry out the rituals due to the dead. How could these grieving women have known that their anointing oils would not be needed, for the best reason imaginable?

Gospel:  Luke 18:31-19:10

No sight? No height? No problem. Jesus has a way of finding those who truly seek his attention. And as we should have learned by now, even a brief encounter with the Son of God has the power to transform a life forever.

Gospel:  Luke 16:19-31

Rich man, poor man. Heaven and Hell. Was Jesus telling a simple morality tale, or was Jesus making a deeper statement about what is possible for each of us right now – in this present moment?

Gospel:  Luke 15:1-32

Finding something you thought you’d lost feels like a second chance, a new beginning. From keepers of sheep and seekers of coins to fathers of wayward children, Jesus brings home the unfettered joy of a creator reunited with those who are most beloved.

​Sermon:  Pastor Patrick Torbit— “The problem with grace “

We were very fortunate to have two bulletin cover artists this week.

Gospel:  Luke 13:1-9, 31-35

The question of suffering is an ancient one. But Jesus won’t allow victims of tragedy to be blamed for their own misfortune, even if that was (and still is) a tempting explanation. Instead he asks just what are we choosing to do with the precious time we have left?

​Sermon:  "The Walking Dead"

    Recorded Worship

    Elim's weekly worship services focus on the Narrative Lectionary, which follows the sweep of the biblical story arranged in a narrative sequence to help us see Scripture as a story that has coherence and a dynamic movement. The arc of Elim's Biblical teachings are rooted in this understanding of scripture.
