Knocked Off Balance

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 11, 2023

When you are knocked off your feet, blind with tears or pain or even a light like the one Paul saw, the first thing to do is seek God.

This has been a bad week. It started with one of the worst tragedies that has ever hit our country. Only wars, terrorist attacks and natural disasters have caused more anguish, more grief and suffering and loss, and more questions about providence and the presence - or absence - of God. The ...read more

The Rookie And The Veteran

Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 20, 2023

The message is a brief look at the transformation of Saul of Tarsus into the Apostle to the Gentiles. The maturation is not an unreachable goal for us as Christians; it is rather a model for our own growth toward maturity in Christ.

“For some days [Saul] was with the disciples at Damascus. And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, ‘He is the Son of God.’ And all who heard him were amazed and said, ‘Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name? And has he not come ...read more

Paul Vs Stephen (About The Resurrection Of Jesus)

Contributed by Je Layugan on Oct 17, 2023

Paul and his friends could not win an argument against Stephen. In the end, Paul had an epiphany which lies in the understanding that God's love extends not only to Stephen and those he once persecuted but encompasses everyone, including himself.

First, I am praying that at the end of this sermon, 1. We would have the desire to experience the deepest significance of Jesus’ resurrection in our lives. 2. We will never think of Paul’s story and Easter, the same way again. [PAUL/SAUL] • Paul was born, in about the same year or a little later ...read more

Grant Me Wisdom Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 7, 2022

[This is the third sermon on Reinhold Niebuhr's "The Serenity Prayer," asking God to grant us the wisdom to know what to accept and what to change. This was also preached on Communion Sunday, hence the lead up to Communion at the end.] Wisdom. What is wisdom? Well, let’s ...read more
