  • Living Water

    15/03/2020 Duración: 35min

    Sermon for March 15, 2020 - The Third Sunday in Lent - The theme for our service today is “living water.” This is what Jesus offers to the Samaritan woman whom he met at the well – water that “wells up to eternal life for God's people” (v. 14 NIV). Just as the Samaritan woman had exactly what Jesus needed in that moment – water – he had precisely what she needed as well, even if she didn't know it: grace and forgiveness and the promise of new life.Scripture Lessons: Exodus 17:1-7 and John 4:5-26Support the show (https://secure.accessacs.com/access/oglogin.aspx?sn=112595&f=107)

  • God's Fasting Plan

    08/03/2020 Duración: 26min

    Sermon for March 8, 2020 - The Second Sunday in Lent - Real fasting isn’t about putting on a religious show or losing a few pounds. It’s about aligning ourselves with God and God’s purposes. Real fasting helps us to recognize our own needs and the needs of others, turning us toward the things that matter to God. It’s not about merely abstaining from food but sharing it with the hungry, providing hospitality to the poor, clothing the naked, and not neglecting the needs of one’s neighbors (v. 7).Scripture Lessons: Isaiah 58:1-8 and John 3:1-17Support the show (https://secure.accessacs.com/access/oglogin.aspx?sn=112595&f=107)

  • The Woman Who Anointed Jesus

    01/03/2020 Duración: 18min

    Sermon for March 1, 2020 - The First Sunday in Lent - On this communion Sunday, we consider another individual who was commended by Jesus. The anointing of Christ with the precious perfume was extravagant. It was a gift beyond the woman's income. But she was so grateful that she did not count the cost. She gave the best she had. Some viewed it as waste. Some viewed Christ's ultimate sacrifice as waste, but through it, God chose to save the world.Scripture Lessons: 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 and Matthew 26:6-13Support the show (https://secure.accessacs.com/access/oglogin.aspx?sn=112595&f=107)

    Sermon for February 23, 2020 - Transfiguration Sunday - On this final Sunday after Epiphany, we conclude our focus on relationships with the most important relationship of all – the relationship between ourselves and God. At the transfiguration, as at Jesus’ baptism, God affirms him to be “the beloved son.” What’s the status of your relationship with God today?Scripture Lessons: Acts 17:24-28 and Matthew 17:1-9Support the show (https://secure.accessacs.com/access/oglogin.aspx?sn=112595&f=107)

    16/02/2020 Duración: 19min

    Sermon for February 16, 2020 - In this month of February, a lot of people are wondering about the “status” of their relationship. In this second of our three-week series on relationships, we’ll examine the relationships between parents and their children. The church’s mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world begins with the most important work of raising our own children in the faith.Scripture Lessons: 1 Timothy 3:1-5 and Matthew 19:13-15Support the show (https://secure.accessacs.com/access/oglogin.aspx?sn=112595&f=107)

    09/02/2020 Duración: 34min

    Sermon for February 9, 2020 -  In this month of February, a lot of couples are wondering about the “status” of their relationship. In our three-week series on relationships, we’ll examine three important relationships that are mentioned in the Bible – the spousal relationship, the parental relationship, and our relationship with God. The first two have a great deal to teach us about the third.Scripture Lessons: Song of Solomon 8:6-7 and Ephesians 5:21-33Support the show (https://secure.accessacs.com/access/oglogin.aspx?sn=112595&f=107)

  • Mary of Bethany

    02/02/2020 Duración: 24min

    Sermon for February 2, 2020 - Those Whom Christ Commended: Mary of Bethany - Our focus today will be on the issue of priorities. Mary was commended by Jesus because she had her priorities in order, with her Lord in first place. The most important question in the living of our lives is often not "what do we do" but "what do we do first?" What is so vital that it must be done now?Scripture Lessons: Philippians 1:3-11 and Luke 10:38-42Support the show (https://secure.accessacs.com/access/oglogin.aspx?sn=112595&f=107)

    Sermon for January 26, 2020 - Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan River, at the hands of John the Baptizer, publicly identifies Jesus as the Christ – the Messiah, the Anointed, the Chosen One of God.

    Sermon for January 19, 2020 - Our three-week sermon series “Unwrapping the Spiritual Gifts” continues.  Today we consider the “ministry gifts,” which are given by God to serve and meet the needs of others.

    Sermon for January 12, 2020 - Baptism of the Lord - Did you think that the season of gift giving and gift receiving was over? Think again, as we enter our three-week sermon series – “Unwrapping the Spiritual Gifts.”  Today we consider the “motivational gifts,” which are given by God to shape one's perspective on life and to motivate one's words and actions. They include the gifts of (1) prophecy, (2) serving/helps, (3) teaching, (4) exhortation, (5) giving, (6) administration/organizing, and (7) mercy.Scripture Lessons: 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 and Matthew 3:13-17    Support the show (https://secure.accessacs.com/access/oglogin.aspx?sn=112595&f=107)

    Sermon for January 5, 2020 - Epiphany Sunday - We continue our communion Sunday sermon series, “Those Whom Christ Commended,” with the meeting between Jesus and the expert in the law (Scribe) in Mark 12.

  • Four Pictures of Jesus

    29/12/2019 Duración: 22min

    Sermon for December 29, 2019 - 1st Sunday After Christmas - The days between Christmas and New Year's Day see a shift from the images of angels and the manger to the annual retrospectives on the year that has passed.  News and TV shows use collages of images to remind people of things that have taken place in the last twelve months.  Similarly, Hebrews chapter 2 uses a collage of images to show who Jesus is and what it means to follow him. Scripture Lessons: Isaiah 63:7-9 and Hebrews 2:10-18Support the show (https://secure.accessacs.com/access/oglogin.aspx?sn=112595&f=107)

  • The Unexpected Gift

    24/12/2019 Duración: 20min

    Sermon for December 22, 2019 - Fourth Sunday in Advent - The angel appeared to Joseph and said “Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,” which means, “God is with us.” From the world’s perspective, just about everything concerning the coming of Jesus is unexpected. He may be the most surprising gift of all time, and also the most transformative. All that we need to do is to accept the gift, and allow Jesus to go to work in our lives, in surprising and transformative ways.Scripture Lessons: Isaiah 7:10-16 and Matthew 1:18-25Support the show (https://secure.accessacs.com/access/oglogin.aspx?sn=112595&f=107)

  • The First Christmas Carol

    24/12/2019 Duración: 19min

    Sermon for December 15, 2019 - Third Sunday in Advent - Some have said that Mary sang the first Christmas carol while Jesus was still in the womb: “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant. (Luke 1:46)” Could it be that Mary’s “Magnificat” reinforced the mission of her divine-human Son even before he was born? He comes to lift up the lowly, and to fill the hungry with good things.Scripture Lessons: Isaiah 35:1-10 and Luke 1:46b-55Support the show (https://secure.accessacs.com/access/oglogin.aspx?sn=112595&f=107)

  • A Shoot Springs Forth

    08/12/2019 Duración: 25min

    Sermon for December 8, 2019 - Second Sunday in Advent - In his foretelling of the coming of the Messiah, the prophet Isaiah proclaims, “A green shoot will sprout from Jesse’s stump, from his roots a budding branch.” (Isaiah 11:1, The Message) This prophetic image proclaims that life is about to spring forth from dormancy and death. This hope gives a perspective from which to view the threats and worries of life. Those things are never the last word. Our hope is anchored in Jesus, the green shoot from the stump of Jesse!Scripture Lessons: Isaiah 11:1-10 and Romans 15:4-13Support the show (https://secure.accessacs.com/access/oglogin.aspx?sn=112595&f=107)

    Sermon for December 1, 2019 - First Sunday in Advent - Welcome to worship on this first Sunday in Advent, as we gather around the table in remembrance of Christ and of his coming into the world! We continue our Communion Sunday sermon series by examining another life of an individual who was commended by Christ – John the Baptist. Jesus praised John because he was not a "weathervane" swaying in the wind, but a "signpost" pointing the way to God.Scripture Lessons: Isaiah 2:1-5 and Matthew 11:1-11Support the show (https://secure.accessacs.com/access/oglogin.aspx?sn=112595&f=107)

  • Lead On, O King Eternal

    24/11/2019 Duración: 24min

    Sermon for November 24, 2019 - Christ the King/Thanksgiving Sunday - The liturgical year, which begins with the season of Advent, ends with a celebration of “Christ the King.” The Gospel of Luke tells the story of the death of Jesus on the cross. A sign over the head of Jesus reads, “This is the King of the Jews,” and soldiers mock him, saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” What do these events mean for our lives today?Scripture Lessons: Jeremiah 23:1-6 and Luke 23:33-43Support the show (https://secure.accessacs.com/access/oglogin.aspx?sn=112595&f=107)
