Being seen is Believing! - Modern

April 16, 2023 • Rev. Brian Sixbey • John 20:19–31

Like Thomas, we sometimes put You in a box, Lord. We demand that you

do for us what we want before we will believe in You, forgetting that we

only hurt ourselves in so doing. Remind us that before we believed in You,

You believed in us, enough to give us your son. May your love change our

minds and hearts, for we ask in Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Gospel of Conflict - Modern

June 11, 2023 • Rev. Brian Sixbey • James 4:1–12

Lord, like your people from of old, we live in a time of great trial. Except for those who still experience poverty and want, we do not need more money to live good lives, but we live in a time of great stress, loneliness, isolation, depression, anxiety, and division. Could it be that our technology has given us power, but we lack the wisdom to use that power for good? Could it be that we have lost sight of that fact that might does not make right and to be weak in the eyes of the world can be strength in your eyes? In our world of upside-down values, help us, your body, to love and serve beyond man-made divisions so that the world can have an example of a better way of life. We humbly ask you to help us become the church in these days, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Two Worlds - Worship Service

June 4, 2023 • Rev. Tommy Markham • Romans 12:1–8

We are so familiar with what we do every day when we get it out of order frustration gets us all wrong. Meeting the obligation necessary for the ongoing of life in the fast lane that is all we can get done. When can we stop and think through what it means to give all our time to physical pressures? Spiritual time is necessary for quality of life. So, Lord, forgive our neglect. We are not asking for longer days but a more complete use of what we have. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
