Today at Provo Community Congregational United Church of Christ, Pastor William Davis shared “God of the Unexpected,” reflecting on Psalm 26:1–8 and Matthew 16:21–28. Last week, Peter boldly proclaimed Jesus as the Christ, but today he struggled when Jesus explained that the road ahead would include rejection, suffering, death, and resurrection. Peter wanted a powerful, victorious Messiah—not a suffering Savior—and in many ways, we can relate. We often want glory without the cross, success without struggle, and the good parts of faith without the difficult ones. Jesus reminds us that when we make life only about “me” and “mine,” there will never be enough. Instead, he calls us to let go, take up our cross, and follow him. Following Christ is not about seeking suffering; it is about choosing love, service, humility, and faithfulness, even when the path is not what we expected. God still works in unexpected ways, and one of the most powerful truths of the Gospel remains this: God loves EVERYONE.

Join us next Sunday at 11:00 a.m. as Adrienne Rossetti brings the sermon and Pastor Alex Brown leads us in communion. Come as you are, bring a friend, and join a community seeking to follow Christ through love, compassion, and care for one another. All are welcome!

🏖️ NATIONAL BEACH DAY — AUGUST 30 🌊

Life’s a beach… and sometimes we just need a little sunshine, a little rest, and a reminder to enjoy the beauty around us. ☀️

Today, Provo Community Congregational United Church of Christ celebrates National Beach Day with gratitude for creation, community, and those simple moments that help restore our spirits.

Whether your “beach” is the ocean, a lakeshore, a mountain trail, your own backyard — or even church — we hope you find a little time to relax, recharge, connect, and enjoy the journey.

All are welcome. Always. 💙

Today at Provo Community Congregational United Church of Christ, Pastor William Davis shared a message from Psalm 124 and Matthew 16:13–20 focused on the question Jesus asked His disciples: “Who do you say that I am?” The disciples had heard many answers. Some said John the Baptist, others Elijah, Jeremiah, or another prophet. People knew there was something remarkable about Jesus, but they still did not fully understand who He was. Then Simon Peter answered boldly, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus told Peter that this truth had not come from his own understanding, but had been revealed to him by God. We do not simply discover God on our own—God reveals Himself to us.

Pastor Davis reminded us that we often try to create God and Jesus in our own image, shaping God into who we want or need Him to be. Even the word Messiah carries expectations. Throughout history, people have looked for a powerful hero who would come in, conquer the enemy, and make everything right. But Jesus did not come as the kind of hero people expected. He came as both Creator and Brother, Savior and Friend, King of Kings and yet humble, kind, caring, and compassionate.

Jesus also told Peter that upon this rock He would build His church. Peter may have been a “rock,” but Christ is the true cornerstone—the foundation of the Church. And as the Body of Christ, we are called to be His hands and feet in the world. God loved us so deeply that He gave everything so that we might be saved, and the gates of hell will not prevail against that truth.

Jesus is a different kind of hero. He defeats hate with love. He meets sorrow with hope. He calls us family and is not ashamed to stand with us. He is here for us. The question Jesus asked His disciples is still just as important today: Who is Jesus to you?

Join us next Sunday at 11:00 a.m. as Pastor Davis shares “God of the Unexpected,” based on Matthew 16:21–28 and Psalm 26:1–8. All are welcome.
