Rev. James Harper preaches on 2 Kings 4:25-37 as part of the sermon series on Elisha the prophet, connecting the story with the power of Jesus's resurrection. The story of the Shunammite woman demonstrates profound truths about hope triumphing over grief. After receiving a miraculous son through the prophet Elisha, she faced devastating loss when the child died. Instead of accepting death, she demonstrated remarkable faith by placing her son in Elisha's bed and seeking the prophet's help. Her declaration that 'all is well' amid tragedy reveals a deep understanding that hope, through God's...

In our final sermon of the Letters of Recommendation Series, Rev. Andrew Dickinson preaches on Judas and Jesus, with scripture from Matthew 27:3-10. The story of Judas at the Last Supper reveals profound lessons about grace and forgiveness. Despite knowing Judas would betray Him, Jesus demonstrated extraordinary love by washing his feet, welcoming him at the table, and calling him friend. Unlike other biblical figures who found redemption after failure, Judas's tragedy lay not only in his betrayal, but in his inability to accept forgiveness. This narrative reminds us that God's grace remains...

Letters of Recommendation (April 13, 2025)

Rev. James Harper preaches on Gideon, with scripture from Judges 7:1-8. God's power can shine bright through those who feel inadequate or ill-equipped. Through Gideon's transformation from a fearful man hiding in a winepress to a mighty warrior leading just 300 men to victory, we see God's pattern of using unlikely heroes. This truth continues today, as demonstrated by untouchable women in India who, despite minimal resources and education, are successfully planting churches and transforming communities. The key isn't human capability but rather availability and trust in God's power.
