Praying in times of Crisis

October 28, 2018
Reformation Sunday

This past weekend our community experienced a tragedy, right in front of our congregation.  As Christians and as a Christian community, we are called to prayer in tough times.  But how do we pray in such times as this?  (And what does any of this have to do with Reformation Sunday)  Based on Mark 10:46-52

God's Economy

October 14, 2018

This is a sermon where it probably would have been better to be there live than listen to it...because Pastor Rob was giving away money throughout the sermon!!  The sermon focuses on God's economy as opposed to the world's economy, looking at some tough words of Jesus in Mark 10:17-31.

Original Garden

October 7, 2018

We all have a deep sense of what the world should like -- what Pastor Rob calls "Original Garden."  How do we then live in a world that does not fully reflect the "original garden."  Pastor Rob talks about the power of God's word to guide us from the first to the final garden...A look at Genesis 2:18-25.

Us vs Them

September 30, 2018

Our world is plagued by "Us vs Them" thinking.  This blinds us to the humanness of others and blinds us to the sins in ourselves.  Most importantly, it is not the vision of God for our world!  Pastor Rob takes a hard look at the events of the past week, namely, the hearing of Mr. Kavanaugh and Mrs. Ford.  The Gospel passage from which Pastor Rob preaches is Mark 9:38-50.
