The 5th Chapter of Isaiah is a love song.  Pastor Tom discusses who it's to, and why.  He also takes a look at why Jesus says He has come to bring division, not peace (Luke 12).  Is that part of a love song from God?  If we have heard God's love song to us, why not share it?  Here are worship highlights from our August 18 service.  May they bless you and inspire you.  

Today's Scriptures say that God doesn't want special rituals and long prayers.  Wesley suggested three simple rules.  Pastor Tom also describes what we need to do, or be, to have a right relationship with God.
