Fellowship of the Son

This sermon kicks off our series focusing on Jesus as the reason for the season. This first Sunday of Advent the theme is hope and we are reminded that not only is Christ the hope of the world, but that the responsibility of the Church is to reflect that hope into the world. May we do exactly that this Christmas season.

All Rise

In this familiar passage of Matthew 25, we encounter the heavenly courtroom scene where God is sitting as judge, jury, and the full body of witnesses. God has summoned each of us to stand before his eternal throne and make account for our lives.

While we may be tempted today to believe that this is a frivolous and fictional court case that should be thrown out of court, (like the McDonalds hot coffee, or Michael Jordan look alike, or Fear Factor make me sick episode) truth is that we have been summoned and we have been charged based upon how we are living out the great command to love God and love our neighbor as our self.

Blessings, and may you be challenged in Christ, Pastor Ferguson

The Real Oil Crisis

In this sermon we take a brief look at Jesus' parable of the ten virgins. Five were prepared and entered the heavenly banquet, and five did not bring enough oil.

The challenge of our life is to be filled with the Holy Spirit and waiting for the glorious return of God. But too often we just assume that our life is good enough and we can just show up on heavens door step and expect to be let in. But Jesus tells us here that if we run out of oil, we will not make it to that heavenly banquet because we did not take time to build our relationship with Christ, and go through the wedding ceremony.

Praise God for the Spirit which guides our lives every single day. Amen.

I look forward to you comments.

Passing the Torch

This message is a powerful reminder that we have a responsibility to share our faith in Christ. It is not something we should be ashamed of, but we should hold it high.

Using the image of an Olympic torch we recognize that the symbol of the flame unites people of all nations in the spirit of the games. And it is Christ who unites people of faith into one body of believers giving us something we should be proud to let the whole world see.

I hope this message challenges each of you to wear your faith for all to see.

In Christ, Pastor Ferguosn

Sitting or Cleaning?

This is a fun message (a lot better live) that brings to light our understanding of Christian service. This is all shared in the light of All Saints Day and celebrating the lives of our loved ones who have gone on to glory.
What does Christian love and service look like, and what are the bigger issues that we must embrace as Saints in the Kingdom of God?
I look forward to your thoughts or comments.
