A Sum Bigger Than Its Parts

Psalm 139:7-18

This Sunday’s sermon begins with a quote from G. K. Chesterson: “It is often supposed that when people stop believing in God, they believe in nothing. Alas, it is worse than that. When they stop believing in God, they [will] believe anything.”

I look forward to worshiping with you this coming Sunday as we explore the incomprehensible “bigness” of God.

Blessings,

Stonehenge, Hinayana, and Hosea

Ephesians 2:4-10

This Sunday’s sermon will be the second sermon in the series, “Why I Am a Christian.”

The theme is that God first comes searching for us.

It is what John Wesley called, “Prevenient Grace.”

I look forward to seeing all on Sunday.

Blessings,

Pastor Michael

The Andrew Factor

John 1:37-41

This Sunday’s sermon will be the first in a series of sermons on “Why I Am a Christian.”

The focus of the sermon will focus on the first reason I am a Christian: someone introduced Christ to me.

I look forward to being with you this coming Sunday. As Paul once said, “I am thankful for our partnership in the Gospel.”

Blessings,

Pastor Michael

Theological Reflection on a ’65 Falcon

John 7:24.

The title for this Sunday’s sermon is, “Theological Reflection on a ’65 Falcon.” There are two scriptures on which the sermon is based. The first is the report in John about Jesus healing on the Sabbath (John 5:1-18). The second is a reference to that healing, plus a comment Jesus made. That verse is John 7:24.

The sermon is from an actual experience early in my ministry. It is about judging based on appearance.

Thank you for sharing in the Gospel with me!

Blessings,

Pastor Michael †
