09-22-2013 Two Masters- Pastor Mark Rossington

If there's one thing that just about everything revolves around and the one thing that people almost have to have in order to do anything in life, it's money. It's something we use to get from one place to another in terms of travel, something we use to buy food, shelter, and cloths, and something we need get in return for our services when working. There's nothing wrong with it, but what happens when it's the only thing we worry about and care for? What about the stuff we buy? In a stand alone sermon, Pastor Mark talks about the one thing that can cause a ruckus in church, and that's money. Using one of Jesus' parables as a starting point, he talks about not only money, but also about the things that we buy. Wanna hear more? That sermon can be found and listened to right here.

09-08-2013 Athanasian Creed- Pastor Mark Rossington

There are two creeds that many Christian churches say just about all the time, the Apostles and the Nicene Creed, and most people have them memorized because of how short they are. Outside of the Lord's Prayer, those are the only two creeds that matter, right? Not quite. In the final installment of The Roots of Our Faith, Pastor Mark talks about the Athanasian Creed, and while it's not very popular it is just as important to the other creeds. It's a quite lengthy creed to say, which takes about seven and a half minutes, and it also has a quite lengthy history and a huge purpose in the Christian church. The final part in the series, as well as the previous parts, can be found right here.

09-01-2013 Christ in Vocation- Pastor Mark Rossington

It's the Labor Day weekend and it's that time where our nation celebrates the worker and takes a day off from all that hard work we've put in. It's a time where people can just relax and hang out with family and friends, and enjoy the moment. Everyone needs some time off from going into work and working long hours to just make things work out at home. Those are jobs, but what about the other vocations that are not as glamorous? What if someone is taking care of their elderly parent that stays with them, do they count? What about parents? On this day before Labor Day, Pastor Mark takes a break from his sermon series and talks about vocations that go unnoticed by many people. He also says that we should thank God for them and all the hard work they do even if it's trivial labor or if it's something that they do for their family. That Labor Day sermon can be found right here at your listening leisure.
