Worship Service: Informal Family - September 06, 2015
Spiritual life challenges us to face the opposition of higher and lower realities – our natural desires and our spiritual desires. We have a divided mind because we are a spirit in a body. Because of this division, there is also the truth of paradox – the reality of truths that seem contradictory but are both true. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAMarriage: It's Not About You, Looking Outward
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 06, 2015
This week we continue our series on marriage. Last week, we talked abut the need to focus on our partner and our partnership rather than ourselves. This week, we will talk about the need for a couple to look outward together: to find ways of serving the community, in particular (for some) by the way they raise a family, and in general (for all) by all the ways they work together for the good of society. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSADealing with Spiritual Cravings

The Lord Jesus Christ teaches us that there will be a loss of spiritual direction at the end of the Christian era.

Worship Service: Children & Adult - August 30, 2015
It's easy in any relationship – and marriage in particular – for a person to focus on asking, “What am I getting out of this?” In our upcoming three part series, called “ It's Not About You,” we're looking at the ways we're called to flip that around, and focus instead on what we can give. Our first sermon, on the 30 August, will focus on the ways that we can put our partner's desires and the mutual needs of our marriage ahead of our own wants, without neglecting our own needs and desires. | By Rev.

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. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAGood News - In Enemy Territory

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
