06-30-2013 God's Unconditional Promises Part 2- Pastor Mark Rossington

One of the things that we do when we worship is asking God for forgiveness, and is also something that we do in prayer. We are told that when we do that that God will forgive us and then remember the act no more, and that's a guarantee. When we ask forgiveness from other people that's really not that case because we feel obligated to do other acts to really show the person that we're really sorry. With God we sometimes do that as well, but is it really necessary? In the second part in the new sermon series, Pastor Mark talks about confessing our sins with God, and what it really means as an unconditional promise. The next part in the series can be found right here for your listening enjoyment.

06-23-2013 God's Unconditional Promises- Pastor Mark Rossington

Everyone makes promises to one another all the time, but there is an underlining statement that goes along with every single one that is normally unspoken. It goes along the lines of, 'This may not be a guarantee though.' The person may even say they're not going to make any promises when they're going to try to do something that's asked of them. So it's no surprise that when someone, or even God, says that their are no conditions to their promises that it's treated with skepticism. In a brand new sermon series, Pastor Mark talks about God's promises where we find out what they are and what they mean for us. The very first part in the series can be discovered right here.

It's Father's Day! The day where we say 'thanks' to all of our days for everything they've done for us, and continue to do.

In a non-traditional Father's Day sermon, Pastor Mark gives a more personal sermon on the topic, as well as talks about the relationship between King David and one of his sons, and how damaging it can be if nothing positive can be done about it.

06-02-2013 Confirmation is Not Graduation- Pastor Mark Rossington

This past Sunday was Confirmation Sunday for a group of young men and woman to stand before the congregation and profess in what they believe. As well as give statements on what they've learned and how it helped them grow in their faith. So after everything they've done and after everything they've learned about the Christian faith they can stop learning and coming to church, right? Not so fast according to Pastor Mark. While that day may be a special day for those young adults, it's also a reminder to all of us that just because we have gone through every requirement that doesn't mean we can stop worshiping together as Christians. That little sermon can be found right here
