As we enter the season of reflection (Lent) we take a moment to humble ourselves and empty ourselves of pride. King Uzziah and Zaccheaus show us the difference between these two polar opposites.
The story of Balaam and his talking donkey helps us understand the importance of our words. Words have the power to heal and to hurt. We are challenged to watch what we say and even bite our tongue.
We conclude our sermon series on change. In this message Pastor Ben explores transformational change or the change within. Step one is to change your social surroundings.
Change is all around. What happens when there is societal change? We embrace God’s view of justice and not our own. We remember the lasting legacy and work of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the change he brought.
As we begin 2024, let’s talk about change. For the next month, we will look at different types of change in our lives. In this episode, Pastor Ben looks at the uninvited change in our lives.
We close 2023 with one more set of characters from the Christmas story: The Wisemen. They could have chosen to avoid Herod or even Jesus but they pushed forward to meet the King of Kings. Listen in and hear how avoidance can hurt you.
Shame might be the third most powerful emotion after love and grief. Shame can paralyze you, not for a moment but it can affect your entire life. Zechariah walks with shame and see how God sets him free and how you can be free too.
What happens when we choose wonder over worry? Wondrous things! Today we hear about two types of worry from Mary and Joseph and with God’s help, they choose wonder!
We conclude the sermon series “I Surrender” with a message about how we surrender ourselves to the King and not just parts of our lives. This weekend we also celebrate the end of the church year which is known as Christ the King Sunday.
