Sermon
03 Mar “He restoreth my soul” – 3/3/2021
We continue today with are Lenten Series “A Walk Through the 23rd Psalm”. In verse 3, David writes: “He restoreth my soul”….that’s forgiveness. Without forgiveness, without our souls’ being restored, we would be spiritually dead, total separated from God. Jesus hung on the Cross at Calvary...
28 Feb Easy to boast – 2/27/2021
Easy to boast, isn’t it? So much of what we accomplish we attribute to our own cleverness – after all, I thought it up, I knew how to do it, I got it done, so there! Generally we forget that God gave us such gifts...
24 Feb Beginning our Lenten Journey – 2/24/2021
Lent is a time for us to reflect upon our lives; to reflect upon all those times that we have turned away from God. Lent is a time to turn back to God who loves each one of us so dearly. The 23rd Psalm is a...
21 Feb Tug of War – 2/20/2021
You remember tug ‘o war, right? One group on one end of a rope, another on the other end, pulling for all they’re worth to drag the other off balance and across the line. That game was the more fun, wasn’t it, when instead of...

14 Feb “This is My beloved Son; listen to Him!” – 2/13/2021
Imagine Peter, James, and John as they descended Mount Tabor, with Jesus, after witnessing the Transfiguration. Their heads must have been reeling. And they couldn’t tell anyone! You know they must have huddled up privately to relive those moments, trying to understand what they had...
31 Jan Who is Jesus? – 1/30/2021
“Who is Jesus of Nazareth?” and “What does his identity mean to you?” These questions are the main focus of our Gospel Reading for today. To fully understand who Jesus is we must go back about 4000 years. Moses and the Israelites had just left Egypt...
24 Jan Today – 1/23/2021
Have you thought about today? Today is the only day of its kind. When today has ticked by one moment at a time there won’t be another day exactly like it. Today’s Scripture lessons point out that obvious truth, from Old Testament to Epistle to...
17 Jan Paul’s Greeting – 1/16/2021
That Paul was in Corinth for 18 months in 50-52AD is historical fact. Read Acts 18:1-22 – Paul was sure busy, and under threat, and tried before Gallio (but acquitted), and preached the Word of God, Christ Jesus and Him crucified all the while. Later, from...
