“The Credibility of Christ�, Sermon 12-30-07, Based on Hebrews 2:10-18. Rev. John Farley Preaching. Ever notice how when you are going through a struggle, it helps to have someone with you who has been through it before? That’s what this story in Hebrews is about. Christ is not some distant deity. Christ’s life and teachings are just what we need in life’s struggles, precisely because “He’s been there!� Only a Christ who suffered what we all suffer in life has the credibility to show us how to get through it. Come Sunday and see if his teachings aren’t just what you need right now.

Hope Is At Hand IV: "Expect the Unexpected", Sermon 12-23-07. based on Matthew 1:18-2. The story of the announcement of Jesus’ pending birth was “Unexpected� by Joseph and Mary. At first Joseph was uncertain what to do. But, hopeful people remain open to what has not been before. Hopeful people can redefine a difficult situation and even see the opportunities in the midst of obstacles. What are YOUR expectations for this Christmas? Are you expecting the same old thing, or are you open to a way to something new? Join us Sunday for a message on how to get more than you expected out of Christmas this year!

Hope Is At Hand III: “Let’s Get Real!� Sermon 12-16-07, based on Matthew 11:2-11. No matter how much evidence, now matter how much information you have about who Jesus is there comes a point when you have to make a choice. Do you believe or don’t you? Is he the one? Or isn’t he? Let’s get real folks; Jesus IS the one, the hope that comes to us the Christ child is as real as you and me. That is, if we choose to let it be.

Hope Is At Hand II: “Believe In Believing", Sermon 12-9-07, based on Roman’s 15:4-13 will help you to understand how to tap into the invisible and intangible power of the Holy Spirit. In this series on “Hope�, this is a reminder that hope is not a physical thing, it is a spiritual perspective and power that fills you…if you are open!
