First Church will read through the Bible in a Year again in 2026. This time around, we are going to read through the Bible chronologically using a resource called The Bible Recap. In addition to the daily reading plan, there is a daily podcast, devotional, and Bible Study resources available to help us better understand and apply God’s Word.

We are giving away three sets of The Bible Recap resources to encourage people to get involved. Each set includes the Bible Recap Daily Devotional, Study Guide, and Journal. There are also Bible Recap resources for kids, including a devotional for young readers and activity book.

Current Sermon Series – The Servant King

by Leave a comment



Join us at First Church as Pastor Joel Bucklin continues his sermon series on the Gospel of Mark.

Most people see power as a means to an end. Power enables them to exert their authority over others. That is not the case with Jesus. He has all power, authority, and dominion. From the very first verse, Jesus is identified as the Messiah and Son of God. However, he did not use it to his own advantage. As Mark 10:45 says, Jesus “did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark’s Gospel describes Jesus as the Servant King. He was sent on a mission – to rescue his people from their sin by sacrificing his own life. Jesus, our Servant King, willing gave his life for us.
