Trans-Generational Value

Contributed by Larry Wilson on Jun 26, 2014

Though necessary, I often find it hard to preach sermons to the women of our church in relation to their role as wives and mothers. Paul had a better idea. Much of such preaching could be done without the pastor. The aged women were to teach the younger!

Trans-Generational Values Mother’s Day Sermon 2014 May 11, 2014 Titus 2:3-5 Titus 2:3-5 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love ...read more

Generous With Our Gifts Series

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jul 25, 2017

Generosity is at the core of a disciple's life. Jesus calls us to generous living, and generosity begins with our money.

Do we believe it’s possible to live a generous life? Do we believe it’s important to live a generous life? Do we believe it’s necessary to live a generous life? We’ve spent the last four weeks reflecting on how to live generously in every respect of discipleship as United Methodists—our prayers, ...read more

Generous With Our Service Series

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jul 25, 2017

Stewardship is about much more than money. This sermon deals with how we can be generous with our service.

Membership has meaning. Every organization has expectations for those who join its ranks, and let’s face it, the church is no different.

Generous With Our Prayers Series

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jul 25, 2017

Discipleship and Stewardship are so closely related as to be indistinguishable. We are called to be as generous with our prayers as with our money or service.

A young man went into a drugstore to buy 3 boxes of chocolate: small, medium, and large. When the pharmacist asked him about the three boxes, he said, “Well, I am going over to my new girlfriend's house tonight for supper. Then, we are going out for the evening.

Generous With Our Presence Series

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jul 25, 2017

Generous With Our Story Series

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jul 25, 2017

A disciple can be generous with our resources, our time and our presence, but the most transformative element of a disciple's life is his/her story. We should be as generous with our story as we are with our money and time.

Generosity: Possible Generous with Our Story 2 Timothy 1: 1 – 14 It is only natural for us to connect the idea of generosity with money.

Godly Generation Dies Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 3, 2018

The older generation failed to teach the younger generation God’s truth as Moses had commanded them (Deut. 6:1–9 ). It is bad enough that they forgot Joshua, their second greatest leader, but how could they forget the Lord?

A Generation Of Spoiled Children

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018

As a church body of believers separated to God we have rejected God’s call to repentance collectively just as Israel as a nation has rejected Jesus as Messiah. We have gotten comfortable with our sin. So much so we don’t even call it sin anymore.

Some of you may be dealing with this as part of your daily life and others may have to go back to your babysitting ...read more
