Sundays Sermon November 27, 2022 1st Sunday of Advent
“Daybreak” Romans 13:11-14 Have you noticed that Black Friday usually begins early in November. Online retailers aren’t shy. They just advertise, “Black Friday Deals” whenever they want.

One story is told of a large Department StoreContinue reading “Sundays Sermon November 27, 2022 1st Sunday of Advent”
Sermon for November 20, 2022 Christ the King Sunday

Perhaps the ones paying the biggerContinue reading “Sermon for November 13, 2022”

Sunday’s Sermon October 10, 2022
The Unchained Word 2 Timothy 2:8-15 Sometimes I think that I am just a bit claustrophobic. Once we visited the Wind Cavern in South Dakota.

Sunday’s Sermon for October 2, 2022
Fan the Flames 2 Timothy 1:1-14 If there is one thing that is certain about life, it would probably be that life is never certain. Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
