Hope For The Hopeless
Worship Service: Sermon only - November 30, 2025
This Sunday marks the beginning of Advent, a season of expectation and renewal. Our service, “Hope For The Hopeless,” will explore the inspiring story of Zacharias and Elizabeth (Luke 1:5-25)—a couple who's dreams seemed beyond hope, yet still received a miraculous blessing from the Lord. We’ll reflect on how the Lord brings new life and possibility, even when all seems lost, and how living from spiritual hope can transform our everyday actions and relationships. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Sr. | Boulder, CO

The Two Great Prophets
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 14, 2024
Elijah and Elisha were two prophets who followed in quick succession. Elijah, who came first, was poorly received and lived a troubled existence. Elisha, who succeeded him, was better received and accepted by the leaders of his day. These two prophets represent two stages in our relationship with the Lord. At first we must struggle and fight to apply His truths. But as we grow and progress it becomes easier and easier, until we live His truth with hardly a second thought. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Sr. | Westville, RSA

When Moses is Gone Too Long
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 22, 2019
Imagine that you are in this beautiful world, but there is a canvas sheet a few feet above your head. You can go on living, but a lot is lost. This describes a condition with good people who are trying to go to heaven. But there is a danger. The story of the golden calf the people made when Moses was up on the mountain for too long tells of a danger of earthly life and how we combat it. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Sr. | Westville, RSA
