Sermon: "Overcome Evil with Good"

This is the audio sermon from worship service on March 1, 2020.  Text: Matthew 4:1-11. Jesus is led to the wilderness by the Holy Spirit and tempted by Satan.  As we are conflicted to learn that it is the Holy Spirit who leads Jesus to the place for temptation, how do we discern the purpose of temptations and trials in this world? Where is the presence of God during our temptation in this world?

This is an audio sermon from All Saints Day (November 2) The scripture reading is from Luke 6:20-31, the Sermon on the Plain.  As we are reminded that faith comes by hearing, can you name saints in your life or your church who showed you and told you how God loves you unconditionally? Are you also sharing your faith and love of God with others who might see you as their saints? Can we remember the saints at Living Faith UMC who have helped us who we are today? 

Sermon: "A New World Among Us"

Audio Sermon from October 27, 2019 Scripture Reading: Luke 18:9-14 Jesus gives a parable about two men, a Pharisee and a tax collector, going to the temple to pray. What traits define us as good person or bad person in society? How does Jesus turn our notions of good and bad upside down? On whose righteousness are we considered as good before God?  

Sermon: "The Good, the Bad, and the Righteous"

In keeping with Laity Sunday, Marvin Wilbur, a lay servant, preached on October 20. Sermon Title: A Person of God Text: Daniel 6:13-23

Sermon: "A Person of God" by Marvin Wilbur

Jesus was going through a region between Galilee and Samaria where he met the ten lepers. They were all healed but only one of them returned to thank Jesus. (Luke 17:11-19) Who was this person? Why is it important for us? How do you give thanks to God today? 

Sermon: "Stop & Turn Back"

Jesus speaks of a great chasm between the rich man and Lazarus. (Luke 16:19-31) What is a chasm that blocks you from reaching out to your neighbors today? What did Jesus do to cross a chasm between God and us?   We pray that God bless you as you listen to this message and empower you as you reach out to your neighbors crossing a chasm.
