December 24, 2024
Tonight, at Lyons-Muir Church, we celebrate Christmas Eve with the final message in the Searching for God at Christmas teaching series.

Searching for God at Christmas: In Finding Lasting Peace (12/22/24)

December 22, 2024
This week, at Lyons-Muir Church, we continue our teaching series, Searching for God at Christmas, by looking at where we find peace in our lives.

December 15, 2024
This week, at Lyons-Muir Church, we continue our teaching series, Searching for God at Christmas, by looking at what genuine joy and contentment really are.  The “Looks like Christmas, Tastes like Christmas, & Feels like Christmas” may give us temporary happiness.

Searching for God at Christmas: In Stillness & Silence (12/01/24)

December 1, 2024
This week, at Lyons-Muir Church, we begin our new teaching series, Searching for God at Christmas. The Christmas season is full of noise and chaos. This season, we focus on our search for God in our lives. To begin this journey, we look at the prophet Elijah.  When God’s presence shows up for Elijah, it is not in the wind, earthquake, or fire, it is in the stillness and quiet.

Let All That I Am (11/24/24)

November 24, 2024
This week, at Lyons-Muir Church, as we move into the season of Thanksgiving, we pause to reflect on what it truly means to praise and worship God. In our lives plagued with stress and anxiety, David calls us in Psalm 103 to remember all the ways that God has worked in our lives, and to use all that we are to praise Him in our lives.

Soul Reset

This week at Lyons-Muir Church, Soul Reset invites us to pause, reflect, and reconnect with God, emphasizing the importance of spiritual renewal in the midst of life’s busyness. Rooted in Psalm 42 and Luke 10:38-42, it reminds us to choose what truly matters—resting in God’s presence and finding peace for our weary souls.

This week, at Lyons-Muir Church, our teaching series, In Christ: The Kingdom of God, continues with a deep dive into the sacrificial theology, and the blood of Christ. How do we become reconciled to God again through Christ? Why is the death and blood of Christ so important to our theological understanding of being Christ's followers?

The Cure for Common Complacency

This Sunday's sermon, October 27, 2024, we invited Rev. Scott Otis back to speak for us.  He spoke to us about, "The Cure for Common Complacency," and challenged us to move beyond a lukewarm faith by reigniting our passion for Christ. Drawing from Revelation 3:14-22, we explored the call to live "hot or cold," fully committed to God’s purpose.
