Where God's blessings flow!
Sermons on Easter (Page 9)
Reminder: call your mom today 😉 Honoring your mother has its foundation in the fourth commandment. Today, moms are tasked like never before and still strive to be godly and worthy of honor. Like Mary the mother of Jesus, may we also be the Lord’s servant, no matter what comes. May God continue to bless…
Pictures of Jesus show him as the Good Shepherd, but that’s only part of the story. In reality, shepherds were tough! Like earthly shepherds, He stood ready to protect His sheep from the enemies of the church–this was the strong & tough side of our Good Shepherd. Even today, He continues to give abundant life.…
When we don’t recognize someone, it can be unsettling. Like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, may we widen the circle to include the stranger and show our hospitality, so that we too may entertain angels unawares…

As we celebrate Easter and our Lord’s resurrection, may we also take time to appreciate and give thanks for the many blessings in our lives. We give thanks for Pastor Vern, our congregation, friends and family, and pray that you and yours are blessed at Easter and throughout the year!

The loss of unity started with Adam. There are many more examples throughout the Bible: Cain and Abel Moses and the people James and John Christ prayed for unity in the church. As He asks may we be perfectly one in the faith and knowledge of God’s love. P.S. Don’t forget to call your mother…
When Jesus asks to we want to be healed, do we say yes, or do we like, that man at the pool of Bethesda, have an excuse? May we say yes! Help us to take up our beds and walk in the way of Christ.
In the store, we see: NEW! It replaces what was already there and fuels our desire for the new and different. Hunger for the new and different is a mixed blessing. But Christ made all things new, even us! Renewal is an ongoing process, may we be ready for it and look for the new…
“If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly!” The people of Jesus’ time were looking for more proof. But they already had all the proof they needed, they lacked the faith. Lord, may we have faith in our Good Shepherd, that we may believe and follow You!
