About Us. How Much More?

Dear Church family,

     As we turn our clocks back an hour this evening, I am reminded how quickly 2024 is flying by. It seems that June’s start of hurricane season was just yesterday, and here we are headed toward Thanksgiving and Christmas! Some churches mark the end of the calendar year by remembering all the saints who have gone on before us. (All Saints Day). Reformation Day is another Christian hallmark that occurs every October 31st. This past Thursday was a public holiday in five states in Germany marking the anniversary of the day Martin Luther is said to have posted his Ninety-five theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg on October 31st, 1517.  Protestant churches accept this as the beginning of what became known as the Reformation. 

 Our focus returns to the book of Hebrews in worship today 11.3.24, and worship is a major theme running through the book. In Hebrews chapter 11 we see the degree to which Christ has become for us the replacement over against the Levitical priesthood, the temple, and all the offerings made there.  We are not waiting for a red heifer for worship of the triune God to begin. It is happening now- and we are invited to participate!

Grace and Peace,

Steve Schantz


Sermon                       How Much More?

                                    By Pastor Steve Schantz

Scripture                     Hebrews 9:11-14 NRSVUE 

  11 But when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation), 12 he entered once for all into the holy place, not with the blood of goats and calves but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of the ashes of a heifer sanctifies those who have been defiled so that their flesh is purified, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to worship the living God!

We Believe

We believe that theology should be rooted in the Bible, especially the New Testament. The theology we believe is often referred to as Trinitarian Theology due to its emphasis on the relational nature of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

How Much More

Today, our focus is only on four verses. Even so, this short snippet of Hebrews can serve to remind us, as the author intends, of the greatness and far surpassing sufficiency of Jesus and his work accomplished on our behalf. This section alludes to ...
