Good Friday 2014

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 24, 2014

This is a hybrid between a sermon, a remembrance of the night before Jesus died and a mini drama. It mostly consists of walking through the events of that day in order to never forget why Jesus said, "Do this in remembrance of Me."

(This is not a word-for-word manuscript except for the "readings". The pastor or leader is expected to elaborate on different points as the Lord moves him or her to do so. God bless you.)

Who Needs Miracles?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 11, 2023

Would you rather have a faith that is based on eye-catching, headline-grabbing miracles, or a faith which doesn’t need them?

I preached my first sermon from this pulpit on January 19, 1997. It’s been well over a year now, although sometimes it seems much longer because I am so very much at home. But as much as one can think of that as a time of beginning, it was also a time of ending. I expect that only those of you who ...read more

Trusting In The Goodness Of God

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Sep 23, 2001

In order to trust the goodness of God we need to understand that: 1. God has given us freedom. 2. God created a good world. 3. God can redeem evil. 4. God is with us.

Epicurus, the Greek philosopher (c. 306 B.C.) raised the question: “Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does not want to; or he cannot and does not want to. If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, and does not want to, he is wicked. But, if God both can ...read more
