We’re sorry for the lack of content over the past several weeks. Our lead pastor has been out on medical leave and has not been able to post. However, below are not one, but two recent messages from Maplewood that we wanted to make sure we publish online.

From June 25, 2023: Pastor Ed Klett preached a great message on Remembering Jesus

It’s Pentecost Sunday–the birthday of the church of Jesus Christ! This week, we are celebrating both Pentecost and Memorial Day Weekend by focusing on what it means to receive God’s full measure of His Holy Spirit to help us become the people we were intended to be. Don’t mess around with a dab of His presence when the whole bottle is available. Enjoy this week’s message from Maplewood’s Community Pastor, Ed Klett.

This week at Maplewood, Pastor Vicki explores the story of the Good Samaritan and points each of us to key ways that will allow us to go deeper with Jesus than we ever have before in our lives…

Pruning makes way for growth. But when we talk about pruning in our personal lives, it becomes a topic we want to avoid. This week at Maplewood, Pastor Joe begins to tie up why the nation of Israel was destined to wander in the desert for 40 years–and it has everything to do with the concept of pruning.

This week at Maplewood is looking into the future. Join us as we explore what the future may hold for our ministry in the next year and beyond. Moving into the future with Jesus takes a “one day at a time” mentality. Are you trusting God for your daily bread? Or are you consumed with whether you will have bread next week. There’s a difference. To learn more, click the play button and give us a listen.

We all know what it is like to be sidelined because we have fallen short of someone else’s expectations. The key is how we respond. Maplewood continues to celebrate the Easter season by exploring what it takes to get back in the game by looking closely at the story of the Israelites and the Golden Calf and the story of Peter’s reinstatement by Jesus. Join us by clicking and giving us a listen…

This week, Maplewood is beginning a new series focusing on the challenges we face “in between” accepting Jesus as our Savior and making it to our destination in Heaven. This week, we’re exploring the dangers of drifting as we examine the story of “doubting Thomas” and the story of the nation of Israel wandering in the desert.

It’s Easter Sunday at Maplewood. What is the meaning of Easter? What is the meaning of the Resurrection? It’s much more than Easter Egg Hunts and Peter Cottontail hopping down the bunny trail. Join us this week as Pastor Joe breaks down the meaning of Easter as we reflect on it through the looking glass of love….

It’s Palm Sunday! And this week at Maplewood, we are focusing on the smells that followed Jesus through Holy Week. Join us as Pastor Joe explores the implications of the night before Palm Sunday on the entire week ahead, focusing on John 12.
