We must not presume on God’s grace. Forgiveness is not God’s job, but his gracious choice. His kindness leads us to repentance. The best time to face our sin is before we commit it. When we sin, we set in motion circumstances which we will not be able to control. Today if we seek God’s forgiveness we can find it. God can redeem us and restore us. Message based on I Samuel 15:9-31 Quotes: Duane Bro...

Our lives are cluttered with so many things we thought we wanted. When Israel asked for a king, Samuel took it personally. God reminded him that the people had not rejected Samuel but God. What if we already have everything we need in God? God knows all of our endless wants, but he provides everything we need, right on time. Message based on I Samuel 7:12-8:9, 12:20-25. Quotes: George MacDonald: M...

In a time when the heavens seemed silent, God found a boy who could hear his voice. When Samuel heard God and prayed, God spoke to him, so that he could speak God’s words. If we want to speak a living, lasting word for God, we must first learn to discern his voice. With all my heart, I believe God is speaking to us today.  Message based on 1 Samuel 3:1-10. Quotes: Jack MacGorman: The Bible, has al...

When all hope seemed lost for Israel and for Hannah, she prayed and God heard. God gave her a son and gave Israel a leader. The Lord of Hosts, Yahweh Sabaoth, was working all things together for good for the ones who loved him. Samuel became a mighty man of God who led Israel well. Message based on 1 Samuel 1:9-20.  Quote: Craig Brian Larson: God often fulfills his greatest purposes through our de...

What do we Christians really have to offer the world? One man suggested that the church should just focus on charity. Our world would settle for less than the church has to offer. In Jerusalem, after Pentecost, the new followers of Jesus devoted themselves to the Apostle’s teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer. Their winsome witness won the city over. They served God and...

On that first Pentecost, the Spirit fell on the united disciples and filled them with power to talk about Jesus. Three thousand turned to God that day. Peter envisioned that we who are far off would also receive the promised Holy Spirit. Message based on Acts 2:1-4, 37-41. Quotes: Duane Brooks: I'm grateful that even when the church doesn't have electricity, we always have power Most Kin...

As we restore the table, we remember that the disciples stayed and prayed in Jerusalem waiting for the Spirit. Jesus’ mother was there praying with them. They did not pray to Mary but they prayed with her. They did not worship Mary but Mary worshiped her Son, Jesus with the early church. The first time we see Mary, she is praying. Now we see her praying again. Message based on Acts 1:12-26. Quotes...

In this sixth week of Eastertide, we return with the apostles to sit with Jesus at the table. Like our graduating seniors who are about to launch out into life, Jesus knew his time was short. As he left the table, he offered good gifts for those in our midst who are about to leave their family tables for a season. Two thousand years later, his gifts are still exactly what we all need. This message...
