How do you get ready for church? Perhaps you shower, pick out an outfit to wear, have breakfast, check the weather. But the Preacher in Ecclesiastes says we need to “guard our steps” on the way to worship. What does he mean, and how can we avoid worshiping foolishly? Feb. 08. 2026
On the surface we seem to be free, autonomous beings. Yet the reality is, we’re extremely limited by the times and patterns of the world. Where is there purpose when we feel like we’re just going in circles?
Sunday. Jan. 25. 2026
This Sunday we conclude our 1+ year sermon series through Romans. In the final doxology, we’ll see the Apostle Paul’s purpose in his whole letter: the power of the gospel for the glory of God!
“No man is an island,” John Donne famously wrote. This Sunday, we’ll see the necessity of a loving, serving community for the Apostle Paul’s Great Commission work. Who is yours?
Why are you in Boston? Perhaps you were born here, or you came to study or work. Yet the deeper, truer reason is God has one, clear, shared purpose for each of our lives here. What is it? How do we accomplish it? We’ll consider this as the Apostle Paul begins his conclusion—and ultimate purpose—of this glorious letter to the Romans.
Are you willing to suffer for the sake of the gospel? This Sunday, we interrupt our sermon series on Romans to focus on missions. Specifically, the persecuted church
How are Christians supposed to get along when consciences clash? How do we love and stay united with our brothers and sisters even when we disagree about issues of application and culture? We continue in Romans this Sunday as we grow in how to live out the gospel together in community.
Do Christians have to agree about everything? How should we respond when we don’t see eye-to-eye about how to apply God’s word? What’s worth fighting for, and what’s better to just agree to disagree? Sunday’s passage in Romans will consider these questions and more.
Politics so easily divides us. Yet government is an important factor in our lives. How do we live transformed lives in relationship to the state?
There are so many things done in the name of love that aren't truly loving. So what does genuine love look like? This Sunday we'll see practical ways we can love one another in the church, and love even our enemies in the world around us.
The heavy events of this week have shown us how easy it is to divide and dehumanize one another. Is there any hope for unity in our world? This Sunday, we'll see that the Apostle Paul first calls us to live transformed lives with one another. But in the midst of so many differences, how?
This Sunday we'll begin the final part of the Apostle Paul's letter to the church in Rome. We move from theology to application, from doctrine to practice. How does the gospel impact our lives each and every day?
This Sunday we consider the scriptural theme from Fenway Kids Adventure Week, where David invites others to, "Magnify the Lord with me." Yet we'll see that the context of his call to worship is much more complicated--he's in hiding, running for his life. We'll see what we can learn from King David and his praise from a cave.
“What’s the plan?” We all like to know what’s going to happen, and we plan our careers, relationships, and our whole lives ahead as best we can. But what about things we can’t know? This Sunday's passage will show us the breadth of God’s mercy and the depth of his wisdom.
How should we respond to God’s mysterious plan of salvation? This Sunday's passage will call us to greater hope in light of God’s mercy and greater humility in light of God’s judgment.
Most of us are surrounded by family, friends, and colleagues who do not believe in Christ. Many of us even know people who once seemed to believe in Jesus yet have fallen away. This Sunday's passage will remind us that even if so many people are rejecting Christ, God's grace is enough to preserve a remnant, chosen by his grace. Human rejection can never thwart God's plan.
God's sovereignty over salvation does not erase our responsibility to believe and preach. This Sunday we continue with the theme of God's good plan in the gospel. We'll see both the availability of salvation and the necessity of evangelism.
