Arbor Church

As Arbor moves to two services for the first time in years, Ryan opens our new series Change is Good with a message on trials. They aren’t fun, but … nobody ever developed unshakable faith through a life of comfort.

Blessed is the one… whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. – Psalm 1:2 Ryan concludes our series on Scripture by answering the question, ‘What is Scripture?’ In this sermon, we explore how we can find delight in Scripture and how God uses it to transform us.

How do we build ryhtms with the Bible in a transformitive and sustainable way? Ryan discusses how scripture serves as a guide that continually points us to Jesus, and he offers practical steps for engaging with the Word more deeply in our daily lives.

Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. – 2 Timothy 3:16 In the first installment of a three-part series, Ryan dives into the sometimes strange, sometimes hard but always impactful thing that is scripture.

Just as Abraham embarked on a journey of faith, Arbor Church is also on a path of following God. Join Ryan and the team as they reflect on the past year, explore where we are now, and share the vision for the year ahead.

In this special Christmas Eve message, Ryan Plantz shares about the shepherds who were chosen to be the first to hear the good news of Jesus’ birth.

When we hear the Christmas story, we often imagine the innkeeper as the gruff proprietor of a commercial hotel, but … that’s not really what – or who – he was. Today, Ryan shares the story of this man’s radical hospitality.

This week in our Advent series, Ryan teaches from the story of the Magi in Matthew 2. Will we guard our small kingdoms or seek the true King?

This week, Alison continues our Advent series by looking at the character of Joseph, a man about whom little is written and who is often painted in the shadows of our nativity scenes. Why did God choose this man, a poor carpenter who would not have fared well on Tinder, to be the earthly father of Jesus?

We welcome the season of Advent with a series on some frequently overlooked characters in the story of Jesus’ birth, starting with a message from Pastor Ryan about waiting: active waiting, passive waiting, and – like Simeon – waiting with God.
