2015 a New Year – How now shall we live?

To begin the new year and a new message series, Pastor Ken looks at our typical New Year’s resolutions.  In light of last weeks’ message (…taking out the trash…), it may be a good time to look at the New Year  in a different way.  To do so, we turn to Scripture.  Ken finds 5 reasons for hope in 2015 in Psalm 24.  Tune in to this podcast to hear what they are.

A Year-end Bedtime Story – Bring in the new!

In closing out 2014 Ken tells us to focuses on taking out the trash … and bringing in the new.  To illustrate his point, he tells us a touching story of a young lad, seemingly lost and without purpose, and an old man who has become bitter over the recent loss of his wife.  The two come together by random circumstance and both their lives are changed in the process.  Listen to this touching and see how this Christmas story unfolds.  Scripture today is taken from 1 Timothy 4:1-8
