Seeing the Light
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 30, 2018
The past two Sundays Malcolm talked about reading the Bible, sharing techniques for how to do it and how to know if you're doing it right. This week we carry on with the same theme but with a slightly different perspective: not so much how to read the Bible but what happens when we do. Or to put it another way, moving from what we need to actively do to what the Lord does to us in response. If we prepare well, then reading the Bible becomes a source of light and guidance in our lives. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Affirmative Attitude
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 15, 2018
When we approach the Word we can come with an affirmative or negative attitude. The negative attitude withholds belief in the Word of God until it can be proved by facts and rational arguments. The affirmative attitude approaches the Word of God as true because it is the Word of God. The question to ask to pursue a rational faith is not: is it true? The question to ask is: how is it true? | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA
