Unpacking the Bible: Punishment
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 11, 2011
The third part in a series following the stories of Joshua and the Children of Israel. Through these stories, we are focusing on how we can get meaning and understanding from the Bible. This week we are dealing with a tough issue; why does the Lord punish people with death? In our story this week Achan disobeys the Lord's command not to take from the city of Jericho, and the children of Israel put Achan and his whole family to death. Is this Justice? Did the Lord ask them to do this, and are we supposed to be this harsh in our punishments? | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Westville, RSA

Limit(less), Part 4: Growing Rich Toward God
Worship Service: Sermon only - May 29, 2011
Part 4 of our series on limits is about the limitations of wealth. Money and wealth are sensitive to talk about, but not shedding spiritual light on it can leave us vulnerable to greed and selfishness. We can get caught up focussing on money and the possesions of the World. We need to learn to refocus our attention to make goal of wealth is to serve ourselves, to serve others, and to serve the Lord. Tithing is a spiritual practice that can help us in this process. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Westville, RSA
