SERMONS

Sermon by The Rev. Ranie Neislar October 25, 2026 Every gift and offering you make to the church should start with thanksgiving and joy. Whether you give $20 a month or 40 hours of service, you are making a difference in the community. When we start giving, we find the joy in giving. It starts with love and the love turns into thanksgiving and that turns into joy. That is loving God and loving neighbor.

Sermon by The Rev. Kelley Hudlow October 18, 2026 1 Thessalonians is thought to be the oldest book in the New Testament. In the beginning of Paul's letter her reminds them of several things. He reminds them that God is the source of their salvation, not himself. He also reminds them that came to the faith amid persecution and uncertainty. This is to remind them of the strength of their faith and the durability of the gospel.. Lastly, he gives thanks for their faithfulness and the rejection of the Roman and Greek cults and gods. They relied on Christ alone.

Sermon by The Rev. Kelley Hudlow October 4, 2026 It has been 800 years since St. Frances of Assisi. He is one of the most popular Saints in the Church. He has two divine encounters. One in the face of a leper he meets on the side of the road and then when he hears the voice of God as he is praying in a church, telling him to rebuild God's house. This led him to leave ihs life of luxury, take a vow of poverty and he begins to rebuild the church where he heard the voice of God. He was known to preach the gospel to any person or creature who sat still long enough. He died at 44 in 1226. In only two years, he was named a saint.

Sermon by The Rev. Canon Ron Morpeth August 30, 2026 Moses has his burning bush moment with God. The Pharaoh was worried the Jews would out populate the Egyptian population and therefore, imposed a death sentence on new born Jewish males. Moses was miraculously saved from this decree when found by the servant of Pharoh's wife. As a young man, he kills an Egyptian overseer in anger. Exiled from Egypt, he settles in the desert and become a shepherd. His life is settled, peaceful. He is beyond the problems of Egypt, but not beyond the reach of the God of the Jews. He has time to think...ponder if he could have made a difference if he stayed in Egypt. The answer comes in an encounter with a bush the burns but is not consumed. He knows what he must do but he will not be acting alone.
