My Inside Track for Worship (Sermon 1/19/2020)
Series: Sermon Series: "Why Worship?"
Worship starts with, and is informed by my inner devotion to God. What is in me either helps me or hinders me. What should be the center of my heart if I hope to be able to worship as God intended.

New Year, New You… (Sermon 12/29/19)
Series: Sermon Series: "Choose Joy"
What are we really celebrating? What will the new year bring? Year’s end is a period of reflection and expectation. It is a time where people reflect on the events over the past year and look forward in expectation to what is to come.
If we come to the opinion that our experience over this year is due to human work, good or bad luck, then there is little to be learned or assured of for this coming year. But if our reflection sees God’s hand and learns from His direction, then we can properly move forward in wisdom and hope.

- Dec 8, 2019When Joy Leaves the Room (Sermon 12/8/19)
Dec 8, 2019When Joy Leaves the Room (Sermon 12/8/19)Series: Sermon Series: "Choose Joy"The holiday season is hard for many. Life can be overwhelming, especially for those who have suffered loss. God’s real and personal presence is an antidote to the suffering we face, and give a lifeline for our joy.
- Dec 1, 2019Why Choose Joy (Sermon 12/1/19)
Dec 1, 2019Why Choose Joy (Sermon 12/1/19)Series: Sermon Series: "Choose Joy"We may have heard it said, “The joy is the Lord is my strength,” but sometimes the truth is that joy is not something we choose, desire or even want. How can we make an intentional choice of joy to get us through the holiday season? God’s call to us today is to choose joy- regardless of how far we have come, how far we have to go- we can choose joy.
There are many reasons we have to give thanks. People, life; but rarely do we think about giving thanks for grace. In this season of Thanksgiving, can we take time to focus on the grace that God provides for us each day.

Nov 10, 2019Grace for Aliens (Sermon 11/10/19)NASA continually peaks our interest by raising the possibility of life on other worlds. Articles try to describe what alien life would look like. Have you ever considered that you and I might be aliens? Not in terms of the planet we live on, but in our relationship with God? How about our neighbors? Family? Friends? Does God view us and them as aliens? How can we know for sure?
- Nov 3, 2019The Grace of Healed Relationships (Sermon 11/3/19)
Nov 3, 2019The Grace of Healed Relationships (Sermon 11/3/19)Relationships are a part of everyone’s life. We say we desperately want them, and then struggle with them. It is an act of true grace to build and maintain any relationship with anyone. Are there relationships in our lives in which we need to renew our commitment to be a person of grace in order for that relationship to flourish?
