And More Besides

Last week, I made the assertion that telling the story was the purpose of the church, and that it was even more important than feeding the hungry. This week, the Little Church in a Hole on the Hill looks at the power of the story that makes it so important. The church doesn't have value because it does good things; the church does good things because of its unique call to tell the story. Come join us for And More Besides.

Plowing the Right Field

The church does so much good that it's tempting to think of it as just another do-gooder institution, like the other institutions in our world that put the needs of others ahead of their own. The good work the church does needs to be celebrated, but is that really the purpose of the church? Is there something unique about the church of Jesus Christ which differentiates it from the countless other organizations that do good work? I think there is. Join us for Plowing the Right Field

Joe and Mary's Kid

It takes a lot of faith to approach someone for healing. When Jesus was the expert from out of town, he could do mighty acts of power. When he returned to his own home, he could not. The people of Nazareth couldn't see past his identity as Joe and Mary's kid. It raises the question, "What part does faith play in our relationship with God?" Join us at Community Presbyterian Church of Bellefonte, Kentucky for our sermon on Mark 6:1-13 called Joe and Mary's Kid.
