Sermon Podcast - "Creating Heaven on Earth". (1 John 4:7-15) We often think of love as a feeling or strong emotion that we have for another person, or even a pet.

He then reminds us that divine love is modeled for us in the life of Jesus. To be followers of Jesus means that we follow his example and make the divine love manifest on earth through our loving actions towards others. In this sermon you will learn how God is the source of love and how you can make the divine love a reality here on earth.

Sermon Podcast - “With My Whole Heart: Worth it." (Revelation 4:6-11) Each Sunday morning we make choices. Some people choose to get out of bed late, read the Sunday paper, go out for breakfast at their favorite restaurant, do some grocery shopping and run other errands, and then enjoy a quiet evening alone or with their family before work on Monday. Other people do these same things, but they also take an hour or two out each Sunday to go to a worship service. You may be familiar with what a church service is, but what is worship? In this four week sermon series, you’ll learn what worship is and why we, as Christians, take part in it each week. You’ll also be inspired to take your worship with you into your life in the coming week by practicing it in a personal way. In this week’s sermon, we learn, at the basic level, what worship is and what is unique about Christian worship. And we extend that worship into our week through a special prayer.
