In The Presence Of The Lord - Sermon Ii: No Fear Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Oct 31, 2019

God is love personified and perfected. Perfect love casts out fear. The Son - mirror image of the Father - assures His flock with a "no fear" sense of security as does a shepherd his sheep.

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD - SERMON II: NO FEAR The second jewel of truth is that, in the House of the Lord – in the eternal presence of the Lord God – there is NO FEAR. The second verse of the Psalm says this: “He makes me lie down in green pastures, ...read more

How can we find peace in times of great turmoil, trouble, and uncertainty?

When we were living outside the United States, we’d sometimes make a trip into the big city to go to Costco. The prices tended to be outrageous for items from the States, but we would just start craving something familiar, and Costco was one of the places we’d go to find things like Frosted Flakes, ...read more

Listen To My Voice Series

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Apr 25, 2021

The real question for us today is not, “Will God speak to me, to us today?” Instead, will we listen for that voice that is speaking? Jesus doesn’t say, “Listen and maybe I’ll have something to say.”

On this Fourth Sunday of Easter as you look at the lectionary the gospel lesson shifts from historical recounting of the events following to resurrection to Christological reflection.

A Good Wife And A Mean-Spirited Husband

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 20, 2014

I used to work as a tour guide in a Scottish castle, so I was used to telling this kind of anecdote. See if you can recognise this one. It is not about Scottish clans and lands. It comes from the Bible.

A GOOD WIFE AND A MEAN-SPIRITED HUSBAND. This is a true story concerning a wise woman, a foolish chieftain, and a band of outlaws. The leader of the outlaws was an honourable man who, like Robin Hood in England, had unjustly fallen into disfavour with the ruler of the land. Whereas Robin Hood ...read more

Paul sees the elders of the Ephesian church for the last time. He gives them a charge: 'Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock.' It's a message the church needs to hear today.

But all of us have responsibilities towards other people. This passage has something to say to all of us. Before I get ...read more

It Is Well With My Soul Series

Though we often desire to bypass the valleys, the Shepherd knows we must journey through them to reach higher ground. Yet, even in the darkest valleys, God's protection and guidance bring us comfort, allowing us to declare with confidence, "It is well with my soul."
