May 24, 2020 – Elisha Freeman –
As we get ready to re-gather together for an in person worship assemble we need to remember that as the church we have a certain language to speak to one another. The language of patience, love, grace, mercy, and other truths.
May 17, 2020 — Elisha Freeman –The past several months have been a fight with a giant that has brought uncertainty, fear, and doubt into our lives. Our lesson this morning comes from the well known event of David and Goliath and reminds us that God helps us defeat our giants.
May 03, 2020 – Elisha Freeman – Many questions, but one main answer – I will be with you.
Apr 26, 2020 – Elisha Freeman – Soon after the Civil War ended, Abraham Lincoln was once asked how he would treat the “rebellious” southerners. Lincoln responded, “I will treat them as if they never left.” Our lesson today focuses on the treatment of Jesus to sinners. How and why does He treat them the way He does? The story of Luke 15:11-32 is the answer to our question.
Apr 19, 2020 – Elisha Freeman — Today our concept of following falls in the realm of social media. Unique to this is that we are able to follow at a distance. For one to be with Jesus, they must follow Him. However we cannot follow Jesus from a distance, nor can we follow Jesus without cost. Our lesson will cover a passage that is easily one of Jesus’ hardest teachings.
Apr 12, 2020 – Elisha Freeman – What happens when a parade and a funeral procession meet on the same road? This is the question that comes to mind when Jesus and His crowd meet a widow from Nain going to bury her only son. In this encounter we are reminded that nothing is beyond Jesus’ power.
Apr 05, 2020 – Elisha Freeman – We have all been asked to introduce ourselves. We provide background information of who we are, where we grew up, what school we attended, and what we do for a living. The four Gospel accounts of the NT are written and designed to answer the question “Who is Jesus?” In Luke 4:16-22 we will allow Jesus to answer this question.
03/29/2020 – Elisha Freeman – Our lives have been turned upside down with the Corona Virus. Many of us are fearful, worried, and frustrated. In Luke 1:26ff we will read of Mary, the mother of Jesus, have her world turned upside down. It is how the Angel Gabriel responds that catches our attention. It is here that we learn that we don’t have to be afraid, that nothing is impossible with God, and that despite what is happening we can still serve.
Mar 22, 2020 – Elisha Freeman – Paul, The power of prayer in his time and in our time.
