Christmas Journeys: The Magi Series

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 27, 2014

We ought to take our cue – not from Herod, who rejected God’s gift of Jesus – but from the wise men, who received it with glad and thankful hearts.

This is the last of our series on the theme of Faces at the Manger. We started with Joseph, remember, and we continued with the angels, the shepherds, and Mary, the mother of our Lord. And now we conclude with the wise men, or the magi, as they are sometimes called. Technically, they did not ...read more

The Social Outcast Who Saved Society Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 3, 2021

Today’s sermon is about snobby brothers, a son rejected by his family and community but ironically asked to lead those who rejected him, a nation on the brink of war, fake news, and a foolish father who messes up his daughter’s life. Here is how it happened.

The Social Outcast Who Saved Society (Judges 10¬:6-11:40) 1. One definition of the word irony is, “a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.” • It is ironic, for example, that the most shop-lifted book is the ...read more

God So Loved Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Jan 8, 2019

God so loved the world doesn’t refer to the whole mass as one entity but as individual persons by persons, God’s love is for me, for you as individuals not as one world. Every one, every individual is so important and so precious in the sight of God.

Text: John 3:16-21 Theme: God’s Love and the World “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life” God willing, we will be contemplating into the theology of Methodism throughout this year 2019.

You Are A Slave The Question Is To Whom

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Jul 4, 2017

The Scriptures are clear: We are either a slave to sin or we are a slave to righteousness. The opposite of rejecting God is not a freedom to be in charge of your own life. If you are not a slave to Righteousness you are a slave to SIN!

Because of her "ugliness" (weak eyes) Leah was unnoticed, unwanted & unloved… and unmarried. She was literally a rejected woman. How did God help her overcome her rejection?

A lady was walking down the street on her way to work & saw a parrot in a pet store. She went in to admire the bird, and suddenly the parrot spoke to her, “Hey lady.

#3 No God, No Peace, Know God, Know Peace. Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Jul 26, 2021

Humanity has been given the invitation to accept the truth and there is a great responsibility in receiving His grace.

A parable is a relatable way to share a moral or spiritual lesson. Almost like a church sign. I am talking about the church that always has a special ...read more

The Birth Of A Church Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

I don’t know what you think of when you think of evangelism, but evangelism is reason powered by the Holy Spirit. Paul would consistently use the persuasive powers of reason as he talked to people about becoming a follower of Jesus Christ.

We begin a new series today. Our church celebrates its 125th year anniversary. We have some things planned for later this year. We also begin a new book: 1 Corinthians. Many of you may think it odd to begin journey of a book of the Bible and then focus on Acts. Yet, Luke tells us the beginnings of ...read more
