Rev. Jim Welch | Built Up

Pastor Jim Welch continues our series "Put Down Roots" by preaching through the idea of being built up in community with one another. Our scripture reading today is from Colossians 2:6-7, and 4:2-6.

Rev. Chris Harrison | Rooted

As we continue to focus on putting down roots we acknowledge that the work of being rooted in Christ has already been done by the grace of God through Jesus.  As brothers and sisters in Christ we are also rooted in community as Church with one another across all space and time.  It is who we are and who we are continuing to become. May our roots be more important to us than our differences and spur us to God-glorifying action!

Dr. Burt Palmer | Receiving Christ

What does Paul mean when he says “to continue to live your live in Christ?” And what does it mean to receive Christ? We explore the importance of answering these two questions.

Rev. Lowell Wertz | Missions In Tanzania

Rev. Lowell Wertz share inspiration as a missionary for 40 years in Africa. Rev. Wertz's message is from Paul's words in Philippians 2:1-5.

Dr. Burt Palmer | Putting Down Roots

As we launch our "Putting Down Roots" sermon series, summarized thematically by Colossians 2:6-7, we begin with our baptismal identity in Christ.

Dr. Burt Palmer | Galatians 3

In Galatians 3, Paul makes a specific reference to Covenant God established with Abraham the Covenant. Today we will explore what Covenant means and utilize parts of John Wesley’s Covenant Renewal Service to celebrate Gods love for us.

Rev. John Wayne McMann | The Magi of Our Imagination

The Magi are an interesting topic and team of characters in the birth narratives. In our nativity sets we have done all kinds of things with them like name them and dress them like kings. We have even written hymns for them. We love to imagine the magi. However, the magi are important theologically in ways that we have not always thought about. They represent something more in the Christian mission.

Dr. Burt Palmer | The Dark Side of Christmas

Dr. Palmer concludes our Advent series by talking about the dark side of the events after Jesus' birth, and how the story shows us that following Jesus will always carry a cost. Our God does not leave us to fight alone, but does call us to a life of sacrifice and trust. 

Dr. Burt Palmer | Peace

Peace. The Bible defines peace as not just the absence of the conflict, but the active presence of making whole and restoring. In this sermon we explore some very practical ways to bring peace to our daily lives and deepen our faith through trusting in God’s peace, which is Shalom.

Dr. Burt Palmer | Isaiah 35

The world around us sends us so many conflicting messages about joy and those messages leave us with the idea that we can create joy. We cannot create joy, but we can receive it and share. God’s joy is about the transformations lifted up by the prophet Isaiah.
