Good News - A New Heart
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 16, 2015
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, 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
