Final Sunday after Epiphany

Pastor Josh Harp

We believe in Marxfreudanddarwin.

We believe everything is OK as long as you don’t hurt anyone, to the best of your definition of hurt, and to the best of your knowledge.

We believe that each man must find the truth that is right for him. Reality will adapt accordingly. The universe will readjust. History will alter.

We believe that there is no absolute truth excepting the truth that there is no absolute truth. We believe in the rejection of creeds.

Steve Turner (“Creed”, a satirical poem on the modern mind)

Fifth Sunday after Epiphany

Kaleb Smith, Presbytery Intern

In a mixed community we do not desire a theocracy; rather, we oppose it with all our mite, for two cogent reasons: (1) Wherever such church rule was established, it always ended in tyranny and the corruption of a people. (2) The church lacks the gifts required for giving laws for civil society that evince intimate knowledge and understanding of civil life.

Abraham Kuyper

Fourth Sunday after Epiphany

Pastor Josh Harp

The truth is available to mankind, but we repress it. ... God speaks plainly through his works, but we perversely mishear him.

Al Wolters

Third Sunday after the Epiphany

Pastor Josh Harp

Death has become like a tyrant who has been completely conquered by the legitimate monarch; bound hand and foot the passers-by jeer at him, hitting him and abusing him, no longer afraid of his cruelty and rage, because of the king who has conquered him. So has death been conquered and branded for what it is by the Saviour on the cross.

Athanasius

First Sunday after the Epiphany

Pastor Josh Harp

Stars cross the sky, wise men journey from pagan lands, earth receives its savior in a cave. Let there be no one without a gift to offer, no one without gratitude as we celebrate the salvation of the world, the birthday of the human race. Now it is no longer, “dust you are and to dust you shall return,” but “you are joined to heaven and into heaven shall you be taken up.”

Basil the Great

Second Sunday after Christmas

Rev Dr Justin McClendon

Without ceasing there streams forth from Him to the Father the prayer of His love for every one and every need of those that belong to Him; His very person and presence is that prayer, so closely and inseparably is He identified with those He calls His brethren.

Andrew Murray

First Sunday after Christmas

Rev Dr Justin McClendon

Corporate worship is designed to help you continually focus on the one born in Bethlehem, who is the only one who can offer you eternal forgiveness, everlasting life, and hope that will never fade.

Paul David Tripp

Fourth Sunday of Advent

Pastor Josh Harp

Infinite and yet an infant.

Eternal and yet born of a woman.

Almighty, and yet nursing at a woman’s breast.

Supporting a universe, and yet needing to be carried in a mother’s arms.

Heir of all things, and yet the carpenter’s despised son. Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Third Sunday of Advent

Pastor Josh Harp

No one was ever saved because his sins were small; no one was ever rejected on account of the greatness of his sins. Where sin abounded, grace shall much more abound.

Archibald Alexander

Second Sunday of Advent

“Advent is not just about waiting; it’s about being actively engaged in our faith.” – Ellie Holcomb
