Glorify The Lord With Me!

Contributed by William Akehurst on Mar 13, 2023

BIG IDEA: To Glorify GOD is to give HIM honor and praise. It also means to live our lives in a way that pleases HIM. In scripture, we learn to forgive because we have been forgiven. In this same sense, we Glorify GOD because HE Glorifies us through JESUS.

Make Me A Blessing

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 29, 2022

Let us say with the psalmist in Psalm 68:19, “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.”

WHY DOES GOD DO THIS? Everything He does has a reason! God loads us down with His blessings for two ...read more

Psalm 23:6, ‘Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.’ The confession of David could be our desire. We would like to have these two divine blessings in our life. But we struggle to have them.

Psalm 23:6 - “Shall follow me” Happy New month to all of you. The Lord is good and his love never ends.

Grant Me Wisdom Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 7, 2022

God, grant me the wisdom to know the difference … and, as we shall see, therein lies the problem. I don’t know about you, but I usually don’t know the difference and I usually do the most harm to myself and to others when I think that I do.

[This is the third sermon on Reinhold Niebuhr's "The Serenity Prayer," asking God to grant us the wisdom to know what to accept and what to change. This was also preached on Communion Sunday, hence the lead up to Communion at the end.] Wisdom. What is wisdom? Well, let’s ...read more

Who Will Deliver Me?

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jan 23, 2022

The sad truth is that all of us seem to fit too well into Stevenson's story about Dr. Jekyll. Because we also seem to have a split personality, at times doing things we know we should not do.

Who Pushed Me?

Contributed by Suzan Aturo Mugabi on Aug 2, 2021
