Sermon Title: “Labels”
Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Jeremiah 1:4-9

Synopsis: We live in a world of labels—those that others give us and those that we give ourselves. But the only labels that really define us are the ones that God gives us. Are you willing to embrace what Jesus says about you?

Sermon Title: “Love Feast Weekend”
Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: John 13:1-17

Synopsis: This is the annual “World Wide Communion Sunday” as believers from every part of the world share in the elements of the Bread and the Cup to observe the broken body and shed blood of Christ. In Brethren Church around the world, the “Love Feast” service is observed either as part of the morning worship experience or later in the day. With Covid-19 the practice of the Love Feast was slowed last year by many congregations around the world. As our deacon’s make final preparations for the weekend, we will keep you informed on the decision whether we will hold the traditional “Love Feast” Service in the late afternoon or a simple bread and cup service as part of morning worship.

Sermon Title: “Faithful in the Moment”
Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: II Cor. 12:7-10, Acts 6:1-6

Synopsis: Some of us feel unqualified because of what we’ve done, but some feel unqualified because of what we’ve missed. When we get bogged down by the “thens” or “whens” in our lives, we leave no room for God to work in our NOW. Are you choosing to be faithful in the moment you’re in?

Sermon Title: “Keeping Score”
Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Psalm 103, 2 Samuel 11,12, Psalm 51

Synopsis: The idea that God is a scorekeeper, constantly keeping track of our sin, keeps us from knowing the truth about how he views us. While justice condemns the wrong and the wrongdoer, God removes our sin so that he can condemn the sin, but love us. When we realize this, we can begin to truly experience the forgiveness he has given us—and see the true image of God through the distortion.

Sermon Title: “Like A Father”
Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Psalm 103, Luke 15

Synopsis: When we look at God from a human perspective, our view is often clouded by what’s going on in our own atmosphere. It’s easy to buy into the idea that God is remote and distant, but the entire message of the Old Testament tells us that we matter to God. When we realize that he is searching for us with in-tensity, that we are valuable to him, we can see the true nature of God––that he loves us like a father.

Sermon Title: “Slow To Anger”
Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Psalm 103

Synopsis: When it comes to how we view God, our perception can alter how we see everything in the world. We may have the idea that God is a ticking time bomb, constantly angered by all the things we do that don’t follow his guidance. But the truth is that God is slow to anger, and his reasoning goes beyond frustration, leading to his love for us. And while his anger has limits, his love does not.
