    “A Fix in 06!” On the Lighter side of Life: This is an alleged New Year’s letter written from a church member to the pastor. Dear Pastor; You often stress attendance at worship as being very important for a Christian, but I think a person has a right to miss now and then. I think every person ...read more

    In this message, we would like to take these three verses and look at the prayer John prayed that we seldom pray.

    John prayed for the return of the Lord! Illus: When we think of the return of the Lord Jesus, we can not help thinking of the game children often play. This game is “Hide and Seek.” The children choose a place to be a “base” and then one child closes his eyes and counts to one hundred. The ...read more

    Jesus isn't just like an ambulance rushing to our rescue, he's also like a resort shuttle bus, for he is coming to take us to paradise.

    Take a look at the two vehicles pictured on the screen. Which one is more like Jesus? The ambulance or the Disney-resort shuttle bus? On one hand since Jesus comes to rescue us from our sins and from eternal death, you could say that he’s like the ambulance. On the other hand Jesus ...read more

    Sometimes we are so busy we simply do not find the time to slow down, pause, or stop long enough to rest and listen to God. Yet, since time began, God has offered us all the opportunity to rest.

    We continue in our series on Hope Found Here and this month we are thinking about ‘Hope in the calming presence of God’ or to put it another way, knowing how to rest and relax in God. The question I want to address this evening is "Do we understand what it means to rest in God?" We live in a fast ...read more

    A stewardship sermon on taking up a life of service rather than self-centeredness. Includes time, talent as well as money.

    What Is It You Want? Mark 10:35-45 The Scripture reading today contains a very interesting story.

    If there ever was a time that we need to be focused on God, now would be that time! Take the measure of faith you have been given and be a light in the darkness!

    Oh ye of little faith! Where to begin? First of all to the church, what has happened to our faith? The endless news cycle, would have us once again believe it’s the end of the world.

    Trinity Sunday gives us an opportunity to study one of the most difficult themes of the Christian faith, the concept of one God in three persons. The Trinity is important because in a real way it shows us how God does his thing.

    Last Sunday was Pentecost Sunday, the day we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit with power upon the disciples. As the disciples proclaimed the wonderful works of God in their own language, but Jews from all ...read more
