Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 24, 2019
This Sunday we will be working through the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego and how they were not willing to bow down to an idol that Nebuchadnezzar set up, even if it would mean that they would be burned to death in a furnace as punishment. How did they have such strength in their convictions? Would we be willing to stick to our faith if doing so could result in us facing similarly dire consequences? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAMagical Life

How do we think about the workings of Providence in the world and in our lives? Is life full of patterns and underlying "magic?" We compare our modern world views with what we're told about the ancient church and how they understood the world around them. - BDS | By Rev. Brian D. Smith | Mitchellville, MDZeal or Anger ?

Then I went down to the potter's house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 24, 2019
Nebuchadnezzar learns humility before the Lord through the loss of his sanity. Our sense of humility before the Lord can be a chief virtue that guides and directs our sense of shame. At the same time, having a community that pegs our sense of shame in relationship to the Lord's values is useful to our spiritual health. | By Rev.

Nebuchadnezzar demanded that the Jews in exile, participate in the court worship of idols on the threat of death. The three Jews in question refused because they were not going to commit idolatry. Idolatry in our age is ways of thinking and living, it is the things that we make most important in our life. Can we have the courage to think and live as the Lord invites us to even at pain of persecution and rejection by others? | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PAHOPE

Worship Service: Childrens Talk only - February 17, 2019
The path to wisdom lasts a lifetime, and even then is never truly finished. Even the wisest man alive is pitifully ignorant compared to the vast wisdom of the Lord. Yet still we strive to grow in wisdom and intelligence, as we ought to do. We turn to experts, to podcasts and books, to life experiences and rationally thought-out plans. We expect that if we only had the right information we would be able to master life. Paradoxically though, wisdom does not ultimately come from grasping at worldly knowledge: it comes when we humbly look to the Lord and acknowledge our own shortcomings. That is the wisdom that will let us master life. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAThe Presence that Preserves Us

It is often said that the Lord will never give us more than we can handle. And yet, sometimes we still feel totally overwhelmed, just like Peter, who tried to walk on water, but found himself sinking. - JB | By Rev. Jared J. Buss | Mitchellville, MDLove Over Ego - Taking a Stand
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 10, 2019
This Sunday we begin our series on the Daniel story, Love Over Ego. When the story begins, Daniel is taken far away from his home to live in captivity in Babylon. But Daniel is given an opportunity to get special treatment and to move up the ladder. When we find ourselves in similar difficult circumstances it’s very easy to justify doing whatever we need to do in order to get ahead. But Daniel, instead, does not just go with the flow and take what’s given to him; he takes a stand for what the Lord teaches. Come on Sunday to hear what happens to him and to reflect on how we also can take a stand for what the Lord teaches. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAWorkers In The LORD'S Vineyard
