Pilgrim Mennonite Conference Sermons

Sermon by Anthony Kreider

A sermon based on Psalm 62 comparing similarities between some periods of our lives and a holding pattern in air traffic control. There is a reason planes need to circle rather than go directly to the airport. Sometimes God has reasons for us to wait on something rather than experiencing it immediately.

Sermon by Darvin Weaver

Bro. Darvin asked the question, "Why do we fear man?"

How do we overcome this fear?

1. We must have a healthy fear for God.

2. We must trust in God.

Deut. 1:17 "...ye shall not fear the face of man, for the judgement is God's..."

Isa. 51:15 "But I am the Lord thy God that divided the sea...The Lord of Hosts is His name."

Sermon by Alvin Clair Auker

superior or servant; Matthew 20:20-28; contrast worldly view of authority with Christian view, Jesus' teaching. Do I seek a position of honor, or am I satisfied with whatever place God gives me? Do I desire a position without the responsibility, or do I accept the sacrifice and suffering a position brings? Do I see my brother or sister as a threat or as a co-worker? Is my motto "others are here to serve me" or "I am here to serve others"? Do I measure greatness by station or by service? Am I following the world in self-promotion, or Jesus Christ in service and sacrifice?
