Bouncing Back

As we lean into 2021, Maplewood will be focusing on what we can do to build resiliency–or the ability to bounce back–in our lives. The Bible provides followers of Jesus an inside track on strengthening us to withstand and come through the toughest of times. Join us as we kick off this new series entitled “Bouncing Back.”

The God of the Instant

As we turn the calendar to a new year, it is easy to get caught up in our own conception of time and timing. But God moves to the beat of his own drummer. God is the timekeeper and this week Pastor Ed Klett explores what it practically means to you and me to serve the God of the Instant.

The King is Coming-What to Wear?

On this 4th Sunday of Advent, Maplewood continues our sermon series “The King is Coming.” This week, Pastor Joe takes an unconventional look at the Christmas story through the wardrobe of the players on that first Christmas. And it should cause us to ask, what should we be found wearing when the King comes back?

Why Should I Believe In God? Because God Gives You a Choice

This week, Maplewood wraps up this series on tough questions people are asking in these exceptional times. Today, Pastor Joe focuses on the freedom to choose bestowed on every human being and why that freedom makes the God of the Bible worthy of our belief, trust and devotion. (There are a couple of scratchy moments in the podcast and we apologize for that–but the message is totally worth your time).
