Relationship Dynamics 2 - Boundaries and Freedom
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 07, 2014
Every relationship involves unique people, each with their own thought and desires, and each with their own free will. It's one of the things that makes relationships challenging, and also one of the things that makes them powerful and beautiful. With that in mind, how can we work together toward common goals while still encouraging each other to act in freedom? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSA

Relationship Dynamics 1 - Fighting
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 31, 2014
Who are you fighting with at the moment? How does that fight affect the rest of your life? This Sunday we're starting a 3 week series on dynamics in relationships and we're beginning the series by talking about fighting. Being in conflict can cause us a lot of stress and pain and so we often do everything we can to avoid it. When we understand why we're fighting and what we're fighting for it can help us to fight the good fight when necessary. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Little by Little - Spiritual Rebirth is a Gradual Process

Idolatory 4: Other People's Idolatory
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 08, 2014
For the past few weeks we’ve been looking at idolatry in ourselves—how we can be tempted to worship idols of various kinds instead of Jesus Christ. This Sunday we’re going to dig into the difficult question of how to respond to other people’s idolatry. How should we treat people who worship other gods than us? And the even more challenging question, how should we treat people in our own church or family or community that have different beliefs and priorities than we do? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

God with Us as Lord and God
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 20, 2014
The disciple Thomas only acknowledged Jesus to be his Lord and God when he could see and touch the Lord's body for himself. We will never have that opportunity so is it possible for us to still believe that Jesus really was here and really did rise from the dead and really is God? On Sunday we will explore how faith develops and how we can come to believe that Jesus is our God even though we've never seen Him physically. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

This week we'll listen to the Lord talking to His disciples right before He was about to leave them, explaining to them how He could still be with them once He was gone physically. This will give us the chance to learn how God can be with us too, even though He's never been with us physically. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

God with Us as Jesus and the Christ
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 30, 2014

For this week we'll be focusing on how we react to the idea of the Lord's kingdom coming. We might think we want that to happen but when it starts to affect how we're living our lives it suddenly becomes not such an appealing idea. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA
