Christ the King Sunday

A Sermon

November 24, 2019 Rev. Mark Ryman
Scripture Text: Malachi 3:13-18; Psalm 95:1-7; Colossians 1:13-20; Luke 23:27-43

As the days shorten into shadows, we are exhorted to be the people who wait for the dawn. For when the light of morning comes, we will discover that God is in our midst.

Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost

A Sermon

November 10, 2019 Rev. Mark Ryman
Scripture Text: Exodus 3:1–15; Psalm 148:1–12; 2 Thessalonians 2:1–8, 13–17; Luke 20:27–40

How much more reassuring to know that he is with us (v12). Yet, all will not be easy; we must stand firm in trying times. The Lord God will stand with us.
