Something new is happening at St. Paul!
The Gathering at St. Paul is a worship experience built for real life — a space where conversation, community, and authentic faith meet.
Pull up a chair at a round table, share in meaningful modern worship, and join in thoughtful discussions that connect Scripture to everyday life. It’s relaxed, interactive, and deeply rooted in God’s Word.
If you’re looking for a place where you can breathe, belong, and grow… this might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
Join us Sundays at 11am.
Worship with us in-person at 10am and 11am on Miami Road or join us online.

“I lift up my eyes to the hills—from where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth” (Psalm 121:1-2, NRSV).
“From where will my help come?” (Psalm 121:1, NRSV). What a fascinating question. Ancient wisdom has it that God helps those who help themselves. Pastor Rick Warren disagrees by claiming, “God doesn’t help those who help themselves. He helps those who turn to Him.”

“So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

No one knows the particular malady with which Paul struggled. Some have suggested that Paul was blind. Others claim that he endured debilitating seizures.

“And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn” (Luke 2:1-7, ESV).

Personally, I believe the innkeeper has been given a bad rap. The reality may be that the innkeeper was a rather gracious person.

“He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit: “Every branch that bears fruit he prunes” (John 15:2, NRSV).
This passage from John’s gospel has created a bit of angst for many readers over the years. The impression is that, like a gardener, God will lop off every Christian who fails to produce an acceptable yield of good works, then throw that person onto the trash heap.
