Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 30, 2015

The Gideon story unfortunately doesn’t end with the glorious victory over the Midianites. There’s some confusing, brutal conflict with other Israelites; there’s an execution of two Midianite kings; and then there’s an idol that Gideon makes that people start worshipping. It’s not the kind of story that we like to read and yet, if we want to gain an accurate picture of what is involved in living a spiritual life, it’s important to also look at the uncomfortable reality of what can happen after the times of strength and victory. | By Rev.

The nature of heaven and hell are tied up together in three areas of life: marriage, possessions, positions of power. To allow heaven to enter into these areas we need to beg the Lord to open our eyes to the spiritual reality that underlies His teachings in these areas. We can then follow Him more joyfully. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAObstacles to Faith

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 16, 2015
In part 2 of our series on Gideon we get to explore the story of his victory over the Midianites - a battle in which his men were outnumbered 450 to 1. What can we learn from how the Lord orchestrated this miraculous victory about how He can orchestrate a similar victory in our inner landscape over the enemies that seem to vastly outnumber us? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAGideon Part 1 - Weakness and Strength – You Mighty Man of Valour
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 09, 2015
This week we begin a three-week series on the story of Gideon, one of the Judges of Israel. This week, we hear about his startling call: an angel appeared to him, called him a mighty man of valour, and told him he would rescue Israel from their enemies. The problem? Gideon was the youngest son in an unimportant family, and didn't feel much like a mighty man at all. And yet - God chose him to conquer the enemy. In our own lives: how does God transform our weakness into power? How can we see ourselves as mighty men and women of valour when we know from experience just how weak we are? | By Rev. Coleman S.

The nature of spiritual sight is that we have a tendency to see what we want. The Lord teaches us many things that contradict our biased sight. If we desire to see reality, we have to keep coming back to the Lord. Following the Lord is a self correcting system that corrects in stages. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAHow Great Art Thou?

The Lord knows that we need to consciously take breaks from the everyday activities of life, this is why He has given us the gift of the Sabbath each week. We need a regular opportunity to step into a space where we can feel His presence, and where we can practice the love that He wants us to share with others. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZFinding a New Innocence

This message is for those who feel like their innocence has been lost. The Lord offers His reassurance that He is gently leading you into a new type of innocence, which is angelic innocence. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZThose Who Are With Us

The prophet Elisha and his servant were surrounded by a huge enemy army. It seemed hopeless - until Elisha prayed to the Lord and the servant's eyes were opened to see the angelic army that vastly outnumbered the enemy. When we feel alone, how can our eyes be opened to the reality that "those who are with us are more than those who are against us"? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSAGood News - Be Opened
Worship Service: Informal Family - August 02, 2015
There are challenges and problems with being a part of a religious community. We can nullify the Word of the Lord by our tradition. We can make religion an external thing. We can be rude and arrogant to those not of our faith. We can be deaf to the Lord. But if we truly turn to the Lord, He can heal us of these faults. | By Rev.
