Sermon May 19, 2013: The Birth of the Church (Pentecost Sunday)

Charles Stauffer — Sun, 19 May 2013 12:00:22 +0000

This is Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost has roots in the old testament (fifty days after Passover), and it is the BIRTH day of the Church. Pentecost is the day that the Holy Spirit empowered the early Church to, among other things, speak in many languages to get the good news of Jesus to others. The Holy Spirit enabled believers to go and tell others. [...]

Sermon May 12, 2013: Let’s stick together

Charles Stauffer — Sun, 12 May 2013 12:00:23 +0000

Are you regarded as a servant of Christ, serving for the benefit of others? Can you be entrusted with the secret things of God? We can judge the external and obvious, such as right and wrong. But when it comes to internal and eternal matters, Paul tells us not to judge ourselves or anyone else - it is the [...]

Sermon May 5, 2013: From a Mess to a Miracle

Charles Stauffer — Sun, 05 May 2013 12:00:49 +0000

Life is an adventure. We get into various situations and circumstances, and life can get messy fast. The Bible has spiritual giants who seem immune from the messes we experience. Consider the prophet Samuel, a spiritual giant who anointed Saul and David, the first kings of Israel. Some scholars held him up as equal to [...]

Sermon April 28, 2013: The Tantrums

Charles Stauffer — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:00:11 +0000

Tantrums come with immaturity. But they are not unique to infants. Christians can be living in spiritual infancy, which can sound like this: “I’m not being fed.” “It’s not meeting my needs.” “Somebody doesn’t like me.” “I’ve done my part.” “I’m not serving again because somebody criticized me the last time I did.” Have you heard [...]

Sermon April 21, 2013 (Part 1 of 2)

Charles Stauffer — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 12:00:08 +0000

Psychiatrists tell us that change is perceived as loss. It is a huge challenge to let go of a pastor. But God doesn’t make half a plan. As the prophet Joshua and his followers learned: Moses is dead, move forward, and God will help you. These are encouraging words in time of transition. So don’t be the [...]

Sermon April 7, 2013

Charles Stauffer — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 12:00:25 +0000

Be perfectly united. This is impossible if you focus on the messenger rather than the message. The main thought that can unify us is the message of the cross. All things crumble in the shadow of the cross. “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are [...]

Sermon March 29, 2013

Good Friday: it was a very long, long day. It began around six o’clock in the evening with the Passover dinner, then out to pray, Jesus gets arrested, spends all night in trials, the next day with Pilot. That night Jesus prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet [...]

“The Kingdom of Heaven is Like…” Looking at Matthew 24-25; the Parable of the Ten Virgins is telling us to keep watch and be ready. Five of the virgins were ready but the others were not. Five went in to celebrate while the others were left outside to keep watch because they were not ready [...]
