Worship Service: Informal Family - January 21, 2018
King Saul and his pitifully small army were nothing compared to the Philistine invaders. Even worse the only weapons they had were two swords, one for Saul and one for his son, Jonathan. Saul apparently thought it was hopeless, but Jonathan had a different response—one that the Lord would like to inspire in us in challenging times. | By Rev. Eric H.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 21, 2018
The Lord offers us good boundaries which enable us to receive his greatest blessing in true married love. We face stiff cultural challenge and wrestle with our own nature.

Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PARebuilding the House of the Lord - Part 2 - How to Keep Working
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 21, 2018
When the people obey the Lord and rebuild the house of the Lord it doesn't meet their expectations of what it should be.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 14, 2018
At this time of year we're often taking stock of who we are and where we are in our lives and thinking about what we might need to do to improve our lives. This Sunday and next we will be exploring the somewhat obscure but very relevant story in the book of Haggai of the Children of Israel being called to rebuild the house of the Lord and what it can teach us about the process of trying to do better about prioritising the Lord in our lives. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAPaying Attention to What Works
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - January 14, 2018
The Lord has given each of us a mind that can be good at making decisions but those decisions can be quite flawed. He works with us each moment of our life trying to lead us to see the possibility of better choices in the future. This requires us to recognize that sometimes change is needed .

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” As we mark Dr. King's birthday this weekend we discuss the meaning of this quote by comparing it with Isaiah's message to King Hezekiah, that the shadow on his sundial would move back ten degrees. | By Rev.

Worship Service: Sermon only - January 07, 2018

| By Michael Ferrell | Mitchellville, MDForgiveness as Opportunity
Worship Service: Informal Family - January 07, 2018
No matter what you have done or will do in your life, the Lord has already forgiven you. So what's the point of thinking about the Lord's forgiveness? He has already given it to us. That does not mean we have it yet though. The Lord's forgiveness comes in the form of never-ending opportunities to repent. It is up to us to take advantage of those opportunities and make changes. That is how we take in the Lord's forgiveness. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA
