I AM the True Vine | Sermon on John 14:26-15:6; Psalm 80
If you would please turn within your Bibles to John chapter 14 beginning at verse 27. John writes and Jesus says, ‘Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give.

Bad That Leads To Good | Sermon on John 13:18-30, Psalm 41
At verse 18, Jesus is speaking to his 12 disciples and he says, ‘I am not speaking of all of you.

A Sacrifice of Thanksgiving | Sermon on Psalm 50
[Music] Amen. If you’ll turn to me in your Bibles this morning, our scripture reading is in Psalm 50. The psalm of Asaph: The Mighty God, the Lord speaks and summons the Earth from the rising of the sun to its center. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.
