Each Tuesday we will be posting Pastor Adams inspiring sermons.
| December 4, 2011: Comfort My People
Gospel - Mark 1:1-15 The Gospel of Mark does not begin with a story of Jesus' birth, but with the voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord |
| November 13, 2011: Winning For Others
Gospel - Matthew 25:14–30 Jesus tells a parable about his second coming, indicating that it is not sufficient merely to maintain things as they are. Those who await his return should make good use of the gifts that God has provided them |
| October 30, 2011: We Are All Players
Gospel - Matthew 22:34–46 Put on the spot by the Pharisees, Jesus displays wisdom by summarizing the law of God in just two commandments and by demonstrating the Messiah must be more than the son of David. |
| October 16, 2011: The Emperor's Name on a Coin, God's Name on Us
Matthew 22:15–22 After Jesus begins teaching in the temple, religious leaders try to trap him with questions. First they ask if God's people should pay taxes to an earthly tyrant like Caesar. |
| October 9 ,2011: The Scandal of the Banquet
Matthew 22:1–14 Jesus tells a parable indicating that the blessings of God's kingdom are available to all, but the invitation is not to be taken lightly. |
 | October 2, 2011: The Rejected Becomes The Accepted
Matthew 21:33–46 Jesus tells a parable to the religious leaders who are plotting his death, revealing that their plans will, ironically, bring about the fulfillment of scripture. |
 | September 25, 2018: The Outcasts Have a Place in the Vineyard Matthew 21:23–32 Jesus' parable about two sons who don't do what they say reveals surprises in the reign of God, such as prostitutes and tax collectors going before others into God's kingdom. In the reading from Ezekiel the people question whether the ways of the Lord are unfair; instead they are to repent and turn to the Lord. |
 | September 18, 2011: The Scandal of Grace
Matthew 20:1-16 The theme this week is God's generosity. God's generosity challenges the common and personal assumptions about God. For the ancient prophet Jonah, God's generosity offends Jonah's sense of justice when God does not punish the people of Nineveh. In the story Jesus tells, the people are offended at God's generosity when God gives to the late comer the same generosity given to the ones who arrived early. How do you and I react to God's generosity in today's world? Does it offend? Please join us for worship this Sunday! |
 | September 11, 2011: The tenth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center.
Romans 14:1-12 One of the Bible readings is from Romans 14. In this section the author, Paul, reminds the reader “We are the Lord's”. Even after a decade most of us still do not comprehend the events of September 11, 2001. We still struggle. Yet Paul, along with others in the Bible, reminds us that in the midst of things we do not understand, we are the Lord's. Join us for this unique worship and message entitled, “Break The Mold – We Are The Lord’s” |
 Penticost 12 | September 4, 2011: Break the Mold - Seeking Our Neighbors Highest Good
Romans 13:8-14 The obligation of Christians is to love one another and so fulfill the heart and goal of the law. Clothes make the person as we "put on the Lord Jesus Christ" and live today in light of the future God has in store for us. |
