Minister’s Message – September 19, 2021

September 19, 2021

I wonder what you expect to get out of a sermon. Do you hope to be given new facts about the Bible or our faith? Do you want to be encouraged because you’re feeling low – or, conversely, are you wanting God to give you a spiritual “kick in the pants”? Do you want to learn about relating our ancient religion to the issues of modern life? Are you looking for God to guide you in a difficult decision? Or – and I hope this isn’t the case too often! – are you just waiting for that moment when the preacher says, “Amen” and announces the next hymn?

Minister's Message

Sermon – September 12, 2021

September 12, 2021

“Are you Oven Ready?”

Reading is 1 Cor 13 v4-13

Don’t you just hate autocorrect? My script tells me that this sermon is titled “Are you Oven Ready?”. This is of course incorrect, the title is in fact “Are you Heaven Ready”. You will be relieved to hear that I am not going to talk about our similarity or otherwise to chickens or turkeys!
