Dr. Sonny Strange asks: What do you think about Jesus?

The Restore the House project culminates with the dedication of our new Sanctuary.

Ephphatha (Open Up), Mark 7:24-37; James 2:1-10

Open Up to new possibilities of inviting others to join you in worship next Sunday. Open up to the guests who will sit next to you or even in the seat your are sitting today. Open up to the movement of the Spirit of Christ in your life.

Without a Prayer, Psalm 84;

1 Kings 8:22-30, 41-43

Do those on the outside of faith stand Without a Prayer unless those within the kingdom lift them up to God in prayer? Is it not the work of the faithful to make a way of faith for those on the outside of faith?

Welcome to Episode 4 of On the Path.

On this episode we try a new format and have a round table discussion on why we should go to church. We stay on topic for most of the discussion but as with any group we go off on a few tangents. Our panel includes Scott Waisner, Susan Waisner and Jeff Smith.

We continue our presentation of the Practice of the Presence of God by brother Lawrence.

Sermon: A Metaphor of Life, John 6:51-58;

Ephesians 5:15-20

Jesus offers Himself as a Metaphor of Life in John 6 and Paul invites us to see ourselves in that role with one another and with those outside of the church.

Nathan’s Story, 2 Samuel 12:1-13;

Psalm 51:1-12

Nathan’s Story forced David to reevaluate his actions and assumptions. Stories do that. That is part of the power of the Gospels. Certainly, it is one of the reasons Jesus told stories.

That’s Smart

Psalm 14, Ephesians 3:14-21

Sermon Synopsis: That’s Smart deals with the source of wisdom. The Bible presents God as the starting point for wisdom and the relationship between God and mankind as key to the path. Some start without God in the equation and rely on scientific “facts” as key.

The sermon ends with the story from John of Jesus walking on the water. How did He do that? Did Jesus know something the rest of us don’t know? I think Jesus knew that wisdom begins with faith in God the Father. I don’t know how he did it. By faith I cling to the who.
