Mar. 31 - (Easter) - God Is Doing a New Thing | Emily Wright by WHPC
Pastor Emily is sharing with you is a first person account from the apostle Peter. This means that she will be acting like she is the apostle Peter. Peter was one of Jesus’ 12 original disciples. We have been looking at different stories about Peter the past 5 weeks. For today, while there will be many scriptural references, this is purely a figment of her imagination. We, the congregation will act as Peter’s young adult children. Peter is going to spend time talking to us about what is most important in life. Here is the apostle Peter from long ago....

Mar. 10 - Wandering Heart: I'm Fixed Upon It | Kevin Ireland by WHPC
Emily Wright preaches “Praise the Mount” as part of our “Wandering Heart” series. In today’s passage (Matthew 16:13-20) Jesus asks the disciples what they believe about him not because he needs validation, but to encourage them to actively engage with their faith and make it personal. We are encouraged to reflect on our own experiences of Jesus and how our faith fits into our lives. Sharing our faith stories can build understanding and connection with others, even if we don't all believe the same way. Owning your faith and sharing your experience of Jesus with others is important for personal growth and building community.

Jan. 28 - New Year, New Way To Live: New Rules | Kevin Ireland by WHPC
In Ephesians 3, the author, the apostle Paul, writes a letter to a community of Christians in Ephesus. Unlike individual-focused letters, this addresses a group navigating their faith in a culture challenging traditional norms. The passage, Ephesians 3:14-21, presents Paul's prayer for the community, emphasizing strength through the Spirit, being rooted in love, and experiencing the fullness of God. Drawing on the metaphor of building projects in Ephesus, Paul connects their daily lives to their faith, stressing the importance of a strong foundation in the church. The prayer reflects Paul's understanding of the audience's context and encourages them to be rooted well, like plants thriving in rocky soil, by making space for the roots of love to grow. The overarching message is the significance of Christian community, emphasizing relationships and mutual support as the foundation for a fulfilled and abundant life in Christ.
