Experience the Joy of God's Love for You!
Sermons (Page 14)
These forty days called Lent are like no other. It is our opportune time to return to the God who rescues, to receive the gifts of God’s grace, to believe with the heart and confess with the mouth the wonder of God’s love in Jesus, and to resist temptation at every turn. This is no…
Witnesses to the glory of God in the face of Jesus reflect that glory in the world. It was true for Moses. It was doubtless true for Peter, James, and John. We pray that it will be true of all of us who see God’s glory in the word and in the supper and who…
On this 7th Sunday of Epiphany Season, we hear Jesus’ teaching about extending love, blessing, prayer, and generosity beyond all barriers – even to those who would be our enemies. Jesus speaks extending forgiveness to others, rather than judgment – and the Old Testament lesson tells the heart-moving story of Joseph, who forgave his brothers…
As a community of disciples STRETCHED BY THE CROSS, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to further EXTEND THE UMBRELLA OF GOD’S H-O-P-E: continuing to BREAK DOWN BARRIERS, so that more people may experience THE LIFE-CHANGING POWER OF GOD and move from SURVIVING TO THRIVING in a challenging world! + + + Walking together…

Most gloriously, the promises of God are fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ. Gather round. Listen up. Glimpse the glory of God.
The Sundays after Epiphany continue to celebrate the revelation of God’s glory to us as it was made known to the magi and to those on Jordan’s banks at Jesus’ baptism—today using wedding imagery. Our God rejoices over God’s people as those being married rejoice over one another. By the power of the Spirit there…
Here in the new Epiphany Season, we celebrate the light of God’s love revealed for each of us – and all peoples – through Jesus, our grace-filled Savior & Lord. This Sunday, we celebrate the Baptism of our Lord Jesus. We hear how the Holy Spirit appeared at the Jordan River and the voice from…
