I will spell it out for you this week in worsh…

“I am not sure if the Apostle Paul had a voice like Luciano Pavarotti, or if he couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket. In either case, the Bible says when he sang, people listened. The same can be said of you and me. People are always listening to our song. I'll share more this week during worship.” -Rev. Dr. Tom Kort…

"Jesus had a gift for spinning a good story, many of which described what the Kingdom of God is like. This week we will linger with the story about the workers in the vineyard. I imagine, if the owner of the vineyard tried to pull a stunt like that today, we would sue for unfair labor practices. I mean fair is fair, but in the process, we might mis…

"Some of us remember the famous line, 'the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat,' which describes not only sports but life and faith. More than 10,000 world class athletes are descending on Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
