The Hope of Easter: Failure and Forgiveness – Mount Oak Fellowship Worship Service, April 16, 2023
So, if you are not perfect… When we are first told that the Bible is a holy book about God meeting people and doing great things, it is almost natural to expect that most of the people in the Bible would be perfect, or nearly perfect. That of course is not the case. Instead, the...

The Winter of Our Hope — Worship Service, November 27, 2022
Hope. Hope is something that we all need; but are not always sure how to find. Politicians promise hope, but often cannot deliver it.

All or Nothing — Worship Service, September 11, 2022
For many people Christianity just does not work, largely because they want it to be something it never can be. They want their faith to be a hobby, to be practiced when they feel a need, or have the time. Others want to treat the cross, or prayer, as something like a magic charm, which...

Seeing God’s Plan — Mount Oak Fellowship Worship Service, August 7, 2022
Being a Christian does not seem to mean as much as it used to mean… or as it is supposed to mean. Sunday worship is just “one option” among many. We study our phones more than our Bibles. Many follow politicians more passionately than we follow Christ. It is not supposed to be this way....

Pharisees, Vampires, and Jesus — Worship Service, July 24, 2022
It is not easy to miss the fact that our nation is often divided, confused, and uncertain about what the rules that govern sex should be. As a result, many Americans look, with either fear or hope, to the Supreme Court or Congress to give us direction. As Christians, however, we realize that the relational...

Lenten Devotional – WORSHIP AND DEVOTION
There are some parts of our faith that are difficult to talk about. One of them is the idea that we should personally worship and even love, God. For some people that makes no sense. For others it is uncomfortable. So, “tell me that we need to go to church, keep the commandments, even give...
