Sermon Schedule for July

believing and doing
Matthew 21:28-32
What is more important, believing in the right things, or doing the right things? How do we deal with the lack of “doing” among those who claim to believe the right things? We will share in the Lord’s Supper seated in the pews this Lord’s Day.

In another parable of judgment and grace, Jesus says something about the way the Kingdom of God is revealed to the world, and how it will be in history.
sunday, july 27
taxes

Jesus addresses an issue pertinent in every time and place, paying taxes to the state. What does Jesus say about paying taxes to a pagan world empire bent on domination? What does he say about the Christian’s relationship to the state?
