    based on 10 ratings
     | 5,365 views

    This is the first of a two-part series on the parable of the lost son. Heading into the New Year, this first message looks closely at the story of the lost son and the good news we have of a fresh start.

    When God Doesn’t Want to Hear It Luke 15:11-32 I sat at my desk staring blankly at the screen with a bit of a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I didn’t know exactly where to begin, and I wasn’t even sure God wanted to hear it. I had just scrolled through the pages of a Word document where ...read more

    Why The Wilderness

    Contributed by John A. Peck on Nov 3, 2009
    based on 16 ratings
     | 8,155 views

    Often the wilderness is a dangerous place, frought with danger, anxiety, vulnerability. Out there, we are usually the prey or the victim, but it is also the place where we encounter God.

    Why are we meeting God in the wilderness (where else?) We are, generally speaking, city dwellers. We live in cities, towns and villages, but for the most part we stay out of the wilderness unless there is something there for us. But in the Bible, a lot of important things happen in the ...read more

    Introducing God To Our World

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,083 views

    Learning from Paul’s encounter with the citizens of Athens this sermon helps us to see how we can introduce God to the people we interact with in lives

    One of the foundational messages of Christianity is around the focus of love. As we flip through the pages of scripture love is dominant. God’s love for us, our love for God and our love for others. Our parish mission statement even reflects this; Because of God’s amazing grace we live to love the ...read more

    1. The importance of listening to and obeying Jesus. 2. Encountering God when our resources are depleted. 3. The necessity of casting our nets where the fish are.

    Today's scripture takes place on the Sea of Tiberias (also known as the Sea of Galilee). The disciples, feeling down after the tragic events leading to Jesus' death, have returned to their fishing profession in Galilee. They have spent the entire night fishing but caught nothing. As they head to ...read more

    NOW – I don’t know where you are right now in your life. BUT – maybe you need a do over, maybe you need a fresh start. If so I want you to know that God can handle that…(he’s been doing it for 1,000 of years).

    Jacob’s attempt to receive God’s blessing by his own devious devices is finally halted by a direct encounter with God.

    Genesis 32 January 17, 2004 I can hardly believe that the last time we looked together into the book of Genesis was October 5. We need to remind ourselves of where we are in the narrative. Isaac and Rebekkah have two sons - Esau and Jacob Esau is the older but God picks Jacob to be the one ...read more

    This sermon looks at the calling of Isaiah to be a prophet of God. He first encountered God, was consecrated before God, and then accepted his calling.

Isaiah 6:1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2:Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with ...read more

    Since The Spirit Of The Lord Is Here - Now What?

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jan 3, 2021
     | 4,413 views

    Worship does not lead to an encounter with God. It is an encounter with God. Understand you cannot have an encounter with God and not be changed. It is more than the ritualistic entertainment that we have become so accustomed to.
