Even with the best ever Passover celebrated last week, and tremendous house cleaning being done, NEVERTHELESS, we are still sinners.

Regardless how great our resistance to this reality, our human nature is weak. Why is it that often we need to start over with our same resolutions every year?

We can look at our past and just throw in the towel with the way we have lived our lives up to this point, or we could renew our pledge to the Lord, like King Josiah did, with all his heart and with all his soul.

Epiphany Sunday and Communion Sunday. Rev. Daniel F. Bogre will begin the sermon series, “Starting from Scratch,” with a sermon based on 2 Kings 23:4-16.

God's gift is intended as a model to teach us how to give, and I don't just mean Christmas presents.

The whole story of Jesus is there on Christmas Eve. This Advent season will his whole story become the best part of yours?

How does our senses of taste and smell teach us to taste and see that the Lord is truly good in all our lives and in this Advent season?

As Christ followers, music is seen as a means of worshipping and praising God, which is precisely what we were created to do.

Does your Christmas tree let you know that soon there will be presents there underneath it or can you see the tree as a reminder of the tree, the cross, that Jesus hung on to give us the gift of salvation?

This is what Advent is all about. The Messiah has come.

Our theme is a reminder, for each one of us that when we choose to be grateful, it is not just a feeling but a direct choice that comes from understanding of what God has done for us, each day. A sense of gratefulness through the little things in our lives that we often overlook.

This Sunday, RRUMC will celebrate Consecration Sunday, a time to reflect on what it truly means to live a life that is holy and devoted to God.

First fruits was a concept God introduced to the Israelites upon their arrival in the Promised Land. The first portion of their harvest would become a sacrifice of thanksgiving and celebration to God for His constant provision and protection.

There is always a direct correlation between who Jesus says he is in the “I am” statements and who we are in response to them.

Jesus tells us that he is vine, and we are the branches. There is a direct connection between us and Jesus.

Dan is preaching. Sarah Roberts and Madison Mae Roberts baptized at 10:00 Sanctuary service.

Paul is preaching. World Communion Sunday. Bible Sunday for 3rd graders and Confirmation youth.

If we get to know their language and use their own words, phrases, and jargon to share the story of Jesus in our lives, we invite them into the story.

No matter how committed we are to sharing our faith, most of our witnessing endeavors take a long time to produce any fruit, if ever.

It is always going to be very difficult to get people to listen to our story if we do not first know theirs.
