The Power of Unity
Have you ever written a letter to someone you’d never met before? Why did you do it? How did it go? The longest letter in the New Testament is a letter written by someone to a group of people he’d never met before. Paul wrote to the church in Rome…
Why Being Thankful Matters
I knew this past week would be a challenging week for me so that’s why I chose the subject, Why Being Thankful Matters. Of course, all challenges are relative. I’m not a Christian in Egypt, the West Bank, or any other of a long list of countries where it is…
Why Passion Matters
What are you passionate about? What do you care deeply about? Do you think other people know what you’re passionate about? How can they tell? With the football playoffs, you can see what people who are passionate about football are willing to do: they buy their team’s jackets, jersey’s, shirts,…
Be Great at Humility
We all know that some people make resolutions around New Year’s often involving exercise, losing weight, and even sometimes around their spiritual life. How many of us made a resolution? In one Peanuts cartoon Charlie Brown says about his New Year’s resolution, “You know how I always dread the whole…
Freed to Set Free
Did I ever tell you about how I came to be a Christian? The story of what happened in my life that took me from the place of doubt to the place of belief? In one 24 hour period, Jesus set me free from bondage to a way of life…

The good news we celebrate at Christmas is we don’t have to carry the weight of problems or the weight of the world. The baby born in the manger will do that. God loves us so much that God chose to live among us.
A Sign from the Lord
Today at the 11:00 service we dedicated little Aiden Keith Ballantine. If you were to ask his mom and dad and grandparents, they would happily tell you how his birth has changed their lives. A friend of mine, Eric, and his wife, Bridget, had their first baby this week. It’s…
What Are You Looking Forward To?
At this time of the year, a lot of people are looking forward to something. What are you looking forward to in the coming weeks? Time off from school, visits from loved ones, family members going back where they came from, parties, concerts, snow, worship services, presents, celebrating the birth…
The Peaceable Kingdom
This past week one of the great advocates for justice, peace, equality and freedom – Nelson Mandela, the father of the modern South Africa, died at the age of 95. Leaders like Nelson Mandela are rare. After 27 years in prison, Mandela worked to help all South Africans see themselves…
Moving Forward
“Lord, make us part of what you are doing in your world. Put us within the flow of your Spirit. Help us to do the things that you are blessing in this present age.” At the beginning of the Book of Deuteronomy the people of God have wandered close to…
In All Things
I asked Pat to share her testimony today because she is able to illustrate so beautifully our sermon text today. Our text is from: 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18 “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Every year when…
Have You Accepted Your Commission
When my dad graduated from Colby College in 1954 he received his commission in the US Air Force. Many of you received a similar commission. A commission is “an instruction, command, or duty given to a person or group of people.” For the following three years after receiving his commission,…
