The Son of God
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 20, 2015
Joseph was told that the Child in Mary's womb had been "conceived of the Holy Spirit"; Mary was told that the Child would be called "the Son of God." He would also be "Immanuel," that is, "God with us." How could He be both the Son of God and God Himself? It can seem like an abstract theological problem, but coming to grips with this question helps us to see more clearly who God is, and so be more closely conjoined with Him. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSA

Healing Hurting Relationships - Reconcilation
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 25, 2015
Reconciliation is the final step in the process of healing hurting relationships; the burden of reconciliation rests on those who have wronged another. To step into this phase productively, we have to be able to own our faults and express regret. The ability to own our faults grows most productively out of our own reconciled relationship with the Lord and our sense of His love and forgiveness in our lives. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

Gideon 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. Glenn | Westville, RSA
