Sermon Title: “Do I Have To?”

Sermon Notes: Slavery was an economic, not a racial, proposition in the Roman Empire – though it was still vile. The escaped slave Onesimus could be executed when he returns to his master Philemon, yet Paul insists he go back. When his slave Onesimus escaped, Philemon discovered he may not have fully understood what it would take to be a Christian disciple. What does it take to give up one’s status and possessions for true servant ministry?

Sermon Text: Jeremiah 2:4-13

Sermon Title: “Life After the Honeymoon”

Sermon Notes: Through Jeremiah, God wonders aloud why the children of Israel have rejected God. After all God has done for them, why did they choose to follow other gods that have no power? Why do we?

Train Tunnel and Snowshed Bike Ride Coming Up!

webmaster — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 12:50:03 +0000

If you aren’t afraid of the dark, save the afternoon of Sunday, September 12th. We will ride the train tunnels and snow sheds on the abandoned railway from Donner Summit out about three or four miles and back. We did it a few weeks ago and it was great fun!! Bring snacks, water and a helmet. You will also need a headlamp or a flashlight that is small enough in diameter to hold in your hand and also hold your handlebars. We will meet in the parking lot at Sierra Mountain Community Education Center at 12:30 p.m. and drive to the tunnel entrance across from Donner Ski Ranch. Email Edie Lott to RSVP or for more information.

Sermon Text: Jeremiah 1:4-10

Sermon Title: “No Excuses”

Sermon Notes: Jeremiah is called by God at a young age to minister to the southern kingdom of Judah. Jeremiah’s ministry will start with destruction and uprooting before rebuilding and planting can take place. We all have given excuses in life. Our Biblical heroes had some excuses too. Moses, Gideon, and Jonah tried to give excuses to God, yet, when each said yes to God, their lives would never be the same. The same is true when we say yes to God.

Sermon Text: Isaiah 5:1-7

Sermon Title: “Love is a Gift”

Sermon Notes: Isaiah uses poetic imagery to describe the actions of the Southern Kingdom of Judah toward God and how God will deal with them and all who do not follow God’s law of love. God gives us the greatest gift of all: Love. Do we accept God’s love or run from it?
