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.

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.

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.

We’ve all had a song stuck in our head! This week at Maplewood, we’re focused on how we can immerse ourselves more deeply into God’s Word. Drawing from Joshua 1, Pastor Joe explores the connection between living with confidence and our connection with God’s Word.

Do you understand how much God loves you? Do you even believe God loves you today? One of the most outstanding symbols of God’s love for you and for all of humanity is demonstrated through the symbol of the Cross. The Cross can be confusing for many. Why is it important? What does it mean? This week at Maplewood, we have simple answers–answers that may help you go deeper with Jesus than you ever have before in your life. Click and listen to this week’s podcast!

This week at Maplewood, we are focused on how meditating on the life of Christ can breath life into us personally. Biblical meditation is a major way to retrain our minds how to think so that we can be transformed into the image of Christ. Join us as Pastor Joe explores how the meditation habits of Jesus’ earthly mother–Mary–can help us be remade into Christ-like people.
