Freedom of a Christian: Part 1

October 24, 2017
​Freedom in Christ
​Part 1 in a Reformation 500 series

How does my faith in Jesus Christ free me to live?  Pastor Rob launches a six week series, in honor of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, that is focused on the freedom that Christ gives us.  Today we look a passage in which Jesus "frees" himself from a trap (based on
Matthew 22:15-22).

United in Christ: Our Pledges
Part 3 of our Stewardship Series


Most times Stewardship and financial giving to the church is framed in terms of a response to God's generosity in our lives.  We give out of a response to what God has given us.  This year Pastor Rob frames our giving in terms of our unity -- that we make a commitment and pledge together to the ministry to which God has invited us.  The sermon is based on Luke 14:15-26.

Given the events in our nation and world, Pastor Rob takes us the question -- where is God in the midst of all of this, especially the violence and destruction of human life?  Pastor Rob looks at Paul's letter to the Corinthians (1 Cor 12:1-12) to explore and proclaim how God brings us together as the body of Christ to serve, pray and proclaim even amid human and natural tragedy.
