Sermons on Meal:

Celebrate Salvation!

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021

This impulse must always live among us: a joyful seeking after the LORD. For we’ve seen how God has saved us through his only Son. We have such great reason for joy, even if we possess little, or even if we have much to grieve. Even so, there is great joy in Christ.

If there’s ever a special occasion, we like to celebrate it with a meal. If someone graduates from school, or has a significant birthday, or if there’s a wedding, we get together for something to eat and drink. For food can be very festive. We see this in the Bible too. Think of all the feasts God ...read more

The Last Breakfast Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

The Bible says God's mercies are new every morning, and the result is that many of His blessings have come to His people at breakfast.
