The Gift

Romans 6:20-23

On Christmas Day we gather to worship You and lift up our voices in praise because You sent the Christ Child to live and walk amongst humankind.

I look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.

Blessings,

Pastor Michael

Sounds Like Tolstoy

John 13:34-35

This Sunday’s sermon is entitled, Sounds Like Tolstoy. The title is taken from a Tennessee Williams short story.

The sermon is an interruption in the series on Why I am A Christian. It is a special Advent sermon about something I want for Christmas.

I look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.

Blessings,

Pastor Michael

I’m Just Selling

James 1:22-25

This Sunday November 27th is the 8th sermon in the series, “Why I Am A Christian.” The title is, “I’m Just Selling.”

The topic can be summarized in the following sentences: “I am a Christian because someone taught the Gospel, and I heard it. And, I am a Christian because I feel like I need to do something for others.”

Blessings,

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,

Pastor Michael

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
