Worship Service: Children & Adult - September 14, 2014
For the past two weeks we’ve been looking at different dynamics in relationships. What do you do if there’s a dynamic in one of your relationships that you don’t like? You’re stuck in a rut or a pattern of interaction that is unhealthy, harmful, or just frustrating for both of you; what can you do? This Sunday we’re going to look at what it takes to change the dynamic in a relationship. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSARelationship Dynamics 2 - Boundaries and Freedom
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 07, 2014
Every relationship involves unique people, each with their own thought and desires, and each with their own free will. It's one of the things that makes relationships challenging, and also one of the things that makes them powerful and beautiful. With that in mind, how can we work together toward common goals while still encouraging each other to act in freedom? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSARelationship Dynamics 1 - Fighting
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 31, 2014
Who are you fighting with at the moment? How does that fight affect the rest of your life? This Sunday we're starting a 3 week series on dynamics in relationships and we're beginning the series by talking about fighting. Being in conflict can cause us a lot of stress and pain and so we often do everything we can to avoid it. When we understand why we're fighting and what we're fighting for it can help us to fight the good fight when necessary. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAIdolatory 4: Other People's Idolatory
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 08, 2014
For the past few weeks we’ve been looking at idolatry in ourselves—how we can be tempted to worship idols of various kinds instead of Jesus Christ. This Sunday we’re going to dig into the difficult question of how to respond to other people’s idolatry. How should we treat people who worship other gods than us? And the even more challenging question, how should we treat people in our own church or family or community that have different beliefs and priorities than we do? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAComing to Terms
