Spiritual Seasons
Worship Service: Informal Family - October 04, 2015
Just like there are seasons in this world, there are seasons to our spiritual life. We can know that hard times will come and that in hard times, better times are coming back.

Doctrinal Class - September 30, 2015
A seven class series on the five laws of Providence. 1) Introduction. 2) Freedom: We have freedom to choose our own actions.

We can only compel ourselves - not others. (DP 129-153). 5) Enlightenment: We are inspired and led by God through teachings from the Word. (DP 154-174). 6) Trust: We cannot see providence in action, but only in retrospect.(DP 175-190). 7) Review | By Rev. Eric H.

Worship Service: Sermon only - September 27, 2015
This message relates to Week 1 of "Living Gratefully." We examine the Lord's desire for us to see His Divine love and wisdom in all things of creation, and how we are to come to better appreciate how we too are the creations of an All-Loving God who is constantly seeking to have us come closer to Him. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZNaaman's Leprosy
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 27, 2015
When the great commander Naaman came to Israel to be cured of his leprosy by the prophet Elisha, he expected a big visible miracle. Instead, Elisha told him to simply wash in the Jordan River seven times and he would be clean. We can want spiritual healing to be big and instantaneous; but the reality is, spiritual healing usually happens in small, boring everyday things. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSAExperience and Spiritual Life
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 27, 2015
Experience is an important part of spiritual life. We need to hold in tension our own experiences and the experience of Divinely Guided experiences called revelation.

Our "Living Gratefully" series focuses on the five laws of Providence, asking us to see the ways the Lord governs and guides us as gifts that we can be grateful for.

Worship Service: Sermon only - September 20, 2015
This message considers the words that Jacob spoke regarding his son Issachar (Gen. 49:14, 15). They are words that, when understood spiritually, show how we all have a hereditary tendency toward allowing external or worldly rewards to be the motivation for our hard work The Lord is trying to turn our hearts so that we are motivated to work hard and help others, not for reward, but because we have come to find joy in simply being of service to others and making others happy. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZGood News - He Is Risen

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 20, 2015
Is it wrong to curse or swear? Why? Church people are often pretty clear on the idea that taking the Lord's name in vain is not OK – it's one of the 10 Commandments – but they don’t tend to be as clear on other cursing or swearing. Is it wrong? Is it breaking one of the 10 Commandments or is it OK? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSABeing Healed by the Lord

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 13, 2015
The Lord sacrificed His life to bring us closer to the Divine. The details of His death demonstrates the ways people can separate truth from love, humanity from divinity. To follow the Lord and not deny, we have to take an affirmative attitude toward Scripture and ask “How is it true?” rather than “Is it true?” | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAMarriage: It's Not About You, Looking Upward
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 13, 2015
Our final sermon in our series, “Marriage: It's Not About You,” is about looking to the Lord in marriage. You may have heard people talk about the importance of having the Lord in your marriage but that can sound kind of ethereal and abstract. What does that look like? Does it make an actual difference? How does it make a difference? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAThings the Lord Gives Us Freely
