New Beginnings

In need of a fresh start? This week, Maplewood is celebrating Pentecost, which was the traditional start of the Christian church. The price for being filled by the Holy Spirit is high–but worth it. Join us as Pastor Joe explores the history and meaning Pentecost and why it should matter so much in our lives today.

Out of the Valley

This week, Maplewood is taking time to honor not only those who have fought for our freedom, but also for those who we’ve lost in the recent past. For a small church, we’re much too familiar with grief. So this week, Pastor Joe explores how Jesus can help those of us who find ourselves walking through the valley of the shadow of death.

Follow the Shepherd

Maplewood is continuing to explore what it really means to follow Jesus. This week, we’re taking a fresh look at one of most familiar of Bible passages–Psalm 23. And in this familiar Psalm we find fresh insight into what it really means to follow Jesus in our lives.

Following Jesus

What does it mean to really follow Jesus? The phrase “follow Jesus” gets a lot of lip service these days, but it means much more than an insurance policy for eternal life. This week, Maplewood begins digging into what it really means to “follow Jesus” and become the people we God intended us to be in the first place.

Missing Jesus
