Through Thick and Thin

Today is Transfiguration Sunday.  The day of mountain top moments and dazzling visions.  Today's sermon (March 6, 2011) is on the Hebrew Scriptures Exodus 24:12-18 and Gospel passage Matthew 17:1-9.

When have you experienced the presence of God in your life?  When have you wished you could feel God's presence?

The Cox Family sings Be Thou My Vision following the sermon.

Below is the video version of today's sermon.  We are working with audio quality still, please bear with us.

Continuing the Sermon Series, "God's Gifts."  Before the sermon the congregation took a Spiritual Gifts Inventory.  You can discover your spiritual gifts here.

Sermon February 20, 2011, on the text 1 Corinthians 12:3-13, 27-31.

We receive our gifts for use for the common good.
Our gifts are put into service by action.

There are three categories of gifts:
                 Gifts of Word
                 Gifts of Deed
                                                         Gifts of Sign
