     | 8,614 views

    We could all use a little boost every now and then. Some synonyms for “boost” are: improve, make better, advance. Sound refreshing? Sound invigorating?

    NEED A BOOST? INTRODUCTION: We could all use a little more encouragement in our lives, don’t you think? We get run-down, we get disheartened. We wonder if what we’re doing really matters to anyone. We could all use a little boost every now and then. No, not the energy drink, although ...read more

    How does God deal with us during those times we feel we can't go on?

    I want to talk this afternoon about ‘losing faith’.

We even have an angel hanging in our front yard here at FUMC in the Nativity scene. ...read more

    Making A Positive Impact For Jesus

    John the Baptist made a big impact on many people. This sermon encourages people to make a positive impact (for Jesus) upon people, and not simply to be going through the motions

    Just occasionally we come across someone who makes a big impact upon us. Early in my life John Stainer made an impact upon me. At the time he had a big bushy beard – a bit like I imagine John the Baptist. John was my Sunday school teacher (John Stainer that is, not the Baptist), and he made an ...read more

     | 6,962 views

    The cold air keeps us all indoors - unable to take a walk or enjoy the fresh air. Each holiday reminds us of lost loved ones... of blessings that seem to have become curses... that haunt instead of hope.

    Christmas is a wonderful time of the year for most, but for some it ends up being a sad and stressful season. Many are without friends, family, or money searching for joy. Long nights and shorter days seem to loom over spirits like a dark blanket. The cold air keeps us all indoors - unable to ...read more

    In this account of Mary meeting Gabriel we discover that there are at least three benefits we receive from God this side of heaven. They are, knowing that we are PRECIOUS to him, a clear PURPOSE for living, and POWER to grow.
