All Saints Sunday

The first Sunday of November is a time in which many churches recognize those in their congregations that have passed away since the last All Saints.

In leading up to this celebration I preached a sermon based on Daniel 7:1-3, 15-18. I share a message emphasize that, in Christ, there is nothing that can stop us from the reward comes in HIM.

You'll notice there are some verses missing. Those who created the Revised Common Lectionary wanted to spare folks from the detailed descriptions of the beasts. Feel free to fill in gap in your own preparations. :-)

Stewardship Month -- "Earn, Save, Gain", Part IV

Focus text: Luke 19:1-10

As our stewardship series draws to a close, we will look at the story of Jesus and Zacchaeus. It is a story of transformation. What does it look like to experience a transformation in how we view our financial resources, and how they might be best used for the sake of the Kingdom of God? What does it mean to "give all you can?"

Stewardship Month -- "Earn, Save, Gain", Part II

Focus texts: Proverbs 6:6-11 & Luke 16:1-13

In this second sermon of the series, we'll explore the very curious parable of a dishonest money manager that seems to be praised by Jesus! We'll spend some time exploring how John Wesley sent up parameters for earning money and how they still apply to us today!
