    Our congregational worship involves glory to God.

    1. There is an old French proverb that says, "A good meal ought to begin with hunger." It is hard to enjoy a good meal when you are not hungry, but when you are starving anything tastes good!

    How would Jesus worship in this congregation if He was part of our church?

    OPEN: A man walked into a gift shop that sold religious items. Near the cash register he saw a display of caps with “WWJD” printed on all of them.

    Why should I give to the support of God’s work through my local church?

    Over the last several weeks we have been taking a “Dragnet” approach to the subject of giving to God’s work. We have considered what the Bible tells us about the way God works.

    Not a sermon, but a farewell statement given to the congregation at Sunrise Presbyterian Church

    I have been reflecting on what we have accomplished at Sunrise. When I came here, Sunrise was a hurting and very conflicted church. But it was clear that this was not your nature.

    A sermon for the annual meeting for casting vision in the life of the local church. Principals could be well adapted to another church.
