"THE POWER OF EFFECTIVE PRAYER" - James 5:13-18 (August 17, 2008)
Tell the Story of Nashti, the Japanese stonecutter: 1. Wanted the power, glory, finery of the King. 2. As the heat of summer progressed he wanted the power of the sun. 3. When a cloud covered the sun he wanted the power of the cloud. 4. Everything seemed awed by the power except the huge rock, so he wanted to be the rock Submitted by Kristi Ribble on August 22, 2008 - 12:39pm.Sermons
"THE WILL OF GOD" - #3 IN "HOLY CONVERSATION" SERIES (August 10, 2008)
Over the past two weeks we have been looking at listening to God. We discovered that we need to prepare the way by:

"ARE YOU LISTENING?" - #2 IN "HOLY CONVERSATION" SERIES (August 3, 2008)
Continuing our series on “Holy Conversation”, Listening to God, we learned last week that we need to prepare ourselves to listen to God by clearing out the noise and clatter of the world. We need to be quiet before our God and incline our hearts and minds to Him. But how does God communicate with us?

"PREPARING THE WAY" - #1 IN "HOLY CONVERSATION" SERIES (July 27, 2008)
President Franklin D Roosevelt got tired of smiling that big smile and saying the usual things at all those White House receptions. So, one evening he decided to find out whether anybody was actually listening and paying attention to what he was saying. As each person came up to him with extended hand, he flashed that big smile and said, “I murdered my grandmother this morning.” People would automatically respond with comments such as “How lovely!” or “Just continue with your great work!” Nobody listened to what he was saying, except one foreign diplomat.

"WHAT ABOUT THE WEEDS?" - Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 (July 20, 2008)
Last week we talked about planting seeds. This week we’re talking about pulling weeds. The two go together. Every gardener knows that planting seeds is the easy part of having a successful garden. It is much more time consuming to weed that same garden. And it’s hard work. As someone has said: “When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it was a valuable plant.” Submitted by Kristi Ribble on July 25, 2008 - 1:56pm.Sermons
"THE EXTRAVAGANT SOWER" - Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23 (July 13, 2008)
Tell about the Kudzu growing in Virginia, and Dandelions and Sunflowers growing here in OK when we moved here Submitted by Kristi Ribble on July 25, 2008 - 1:40pm.Sermons
"TRUE FREEDOM" - Romans 7:15-25 & Matthew 11:28-30 (July 6, 2008)
This past Friday we celebrated our national independence. We remember that we live in a free nation: we can speak, think, travel, believe, and do as we please. Yes, Glory Hallelujah, we are free, free indeed! As we ponder that freedom, however, I marvel that many people don’t seem to be free at all. We live in an age of anxiety. There are many things that hold us captive:

"THE PEACE THAT DISRUPTS" - Matthew 10:34-42 (June 29, 2008)
Many people view Christ as one who was always at peace with the world. We overlook the times when Christ was challenging those around him to get their priorities straight. In a sense Christ is doing that here. Submitted by Kristi Ribble on July 10, 2008 - 11:29am.Sermons
"FEAR NOT" - Matthew 10:24-39 (June 22, 2008)
Our Lectionary reading for this morning have caused me to have a slight problem. The reading from Matthew were words originally spoken by Jesus to prepare his disciples for persecution. Jesus was commanding his disciples to “proclaim from the housetops” the words that had been “whispered” to them. That is, he was asking them to spread abroad everywhere, in quite fearless fashion, the teachings he was giving them in not only his public sermons but in many of his private conversations within their select company.

"IT'S HARVEST TIME" - Matthew 9:36 - 10:8 (June 15, 2008)
Continuing from our message from last week where we see Jesus challenge the way the religious leaders were doing church. Today he turns his attention to the people. He had compassion on then for they looked like lost sheep, harassed and helpless. He tells the disciples to go out and share in the “Good News”, heal the sick, cast out the demons, raise the dead, do essentially everything He had been doing.
