Luke 14:1, 7-14

Life often pulls us in many directions, but Jesus reminds us that true purpose isn’t found in status or striving—it’s discovered through humility, generosity, and trusting God’s leading. Whether you’re seeking clarity, comfort, or a renewed sense of calling, this week’s message offers hope and encouragement for whatever season you’re in. Come ready to be inspired, challenged, and reminded that God is at work in and through you—right here at Tab.

Hebrews 10:19-25

This Sunday, we pause to notice the spark of hope all around us—in the courage, energy, and faith of the young people in our congregation. On Youth Sunday, we celebrate how their prayers, service, and presence shape the life of our church and remind us that hope isn’t just an idea; it’s a living, breathing force that can carry us through uncertain times.

Join us at Tab to reflect, reconnect, and experience the joy and peace that come from a grateful heart. Come worship with us and celebrate God’s goodness together!

Genesis 2:18-20 | John 17:1-5, 20-23

From creation to Christ, we are made for community—with God and with one another. Community isn’t optional or secondary to our faith; it’s at the very heart of who we are and why we were created. This Sunday, discover how God’s design for connection can transform your life as we explore this life-changing truth together through Scripture, worship, and fellowship.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 | 2 Kings 2:1-15

Just as He equipped Elisha in a new season, He will walk with you and provide what you need. Join us at Tab as Scripture speaks hope into seasons of change and assures us that God is preparing us for what lies ahead. Don’t miss this uplifting time of worship together!

Luke 11:1-8

In a season of transition, it’s easy to wonder what’s next—and how to pray as we wait. This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Steve Smith explores Luke 11:1–8, where Jesus invites us to a life of prayer marked by persistence, trust, and love in action. In his message, we’ll consider how God calls us to show up for others, even when the hour is late and the answers feel slow.

Living out Tab’s vision calls us to be a people who reach further, engage more, risk often, and forge deep and meaningful relationships that bear fruit pleasing to God. This passage reminds us that transformation often begins with bold prayers and faithful presence. Join us for worship, reflection, and encouragement.

Matthew 6:5-15

This week, we welcome back Rev. Dr. John Person to the Tab pulpit. In a world that often sees heaven as distant or "someday", John will invite us to hear Jesus’ words in a new way—through the familiar prayer, “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

How might we live into that prayer today? What does it mean to bring heaven to earth in our relationships, our worship, our service, and our prayers? Join us as we explore this sacred calling together.

Mark 5:21-43 (New Living Translation)

Life rarely goes as planned—and sometimes, the moments we least expect become the ones that change everything. This Sunday at TAB, Rev. Tim Ayers leads us in exploration of what happens when Jesus is interrupted…and how His unexpected responses can bring hope, healing, and new life. Don’t miss this powerful message and a time of worship that just might meet you where you didn’t expect it.

Numbers 21:16-18 | Colossians 2:20-3:17

In a world focused on building fences, what does it look like to dig deeper—to create community rooted in Christ rather than just protected by boundaries? Join us as guest preacher Rev. Eric Lange invites us to reflect on how we become a people held together not by distance or difference, but by shared values that nourish life and faith.

Isaiah 43:1-3 | Acts 16:6-10

What do you do when life takes a turn you didn’t choose—when the door you were hoping for doesn’t open, and you’re left waiting for what comes next? Guest preacher Rev. Eric Lange will share a message for those living in that uncertain middle space. When plans fall through and answers don’t come, it can feel like you’re stuck in the hallway. But what if that space isn’t just a pause... what if it’s where something new begins? Join Tab for worship as we explore how God meets us in the moments we can’t control—and how new life can take root even in the waiting.

Exodus 24:15-18 & 32:1-6 | Luke 9:57-62

How often do you look back—on your family stories, your faith journey, the choices you’ve made? The past can be a powerful teacher. But it can also become a place we hide, a weight we carry, or a script we’re afraid to rewrite.

As Dr. Bill Smutz shares this final message as Interim Senior Pastor of Tab, we explore the difference between honoring where we’ve come from and being bound by it. We consider how the past continues to shape us—sometimes in life-giving ways, and sometimes in ways that hold us back from stepping into what’s next. God often calls us forward through the very things we’re tempted to cling to. It’s a call to reflect, release, and trust that the One who brought us this far is not finished with us yet.

Psalm 27:1, 4-5 | Ruth 1:1-7

As we continue our journey through Dr. Smutz’ departing sermon series, Still To Do… Always To Do, we turn our attention to managing expectations—the honest, sometimes humbling work of preparing for what’s next. What happens when our hopes for new leadership—and for ourselves—meet the reality of being human?

We hope you will join us this Sunday as we reflect on what it means to move forward in faith, even when the path ahead isn’t perfect. Come be grounded, challenged, and encouraged as we grow together—imperfectly, but faithfully.

Psalm 40:1-8 | Luke 4:1-11

In a world—and a Church—constantly shifting, it’s tempting to chase someone else’s version of success. But what if God is calling us to something different? Something deeper?

Join us this Sunday for Pentecost as we reflect on what it means to be fully, faithfully ourselves—just as God made us. Come be inspired by scripture and song, and hear a word of hope and challenge for the Church today.

Don't forget to wear red (or any flame-inspired color) as we celebrate the joyful arrival of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church. Let’s fill the Sanctuary with bold color, open hearts, and renewed confidence in who we’re called to be.

Let’s stop comparing—and start becoming the best version of us.

Isaiah 40:3-5 | Matthew 3:1-6

As we continue this season of transition, we begin a new sermon series, Still To Do... Always To Do—a time to reflect on what remains important for us as a church and as individuals. What does faithful preparation look like—not just to appear ready, but to be ready for what (and who) comes next? Join us as we begin exploring the meaningful work of becoming the community God is calling us to be.
