Love Come Down
Christmas Eve Candlelight Luke 1:26-2:20 & Matthew 1:18-25 As we gather together this Christmas and give gifts to one another, we may remember gifts we have received in the past.

Our Expectations of God
2 Kings 5:1-19a In the story of Naaman the leper and Elisha coming to heal him, Naaman’s expectations were not met by Elisha and as a result, he almost did not get healed. Sometimes our expectations of God are not met, and as a result, we can be disappointed. Yet, through it all, God deals […]

Wisdom of Solomon
1 Kings 3:3-28 Solomon is told by God that he can ask for anything and God will give it to him. Solomon being a young king, asks for wisdom and discernment so that he can better rule the kingdom. We too can use wisdom and discernment in our daily living.

A God of Grace
2 Samuel 12:15b-25 Sin leads to death. Because of David’s sin, the child born to him and Bathsheba dies. Sometimes we don’t always understand God’s ways, especially when someone we love dies. On this All Saints’ Sunday as we remember those who have gone before us in the faith, we remember that where there is […]
