Confronting Your Faith

Jesus entered Jerusalem with issues. What played out so long ago, was an assault on the political compromises that had allowed Judea what little peace it had known over the last 100 years. As we begin Holy Week, the story of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem to confront the decisions which had made Roman occupation tolerable at the cost of the relationship between God and His people challenges us to confront the compromises we have made over the last year. Join the congregation of Community Presbyterian Church of Bellefonte, Kentucky for this week's sermon, Confronting your Faith.

Lizard Brains

When we're hurt by someone else's malice, we tend to think we are empowered to "Get Even" by doing whatever it takes to hurt them back. That's the limbic system of our brains -- the so-called 'lizard brain' speaking. Our role as Christians is to show the world that it is possible to put the lizard brain to sleep and to show to the world our true colors as the holders of God's Divine breath, for Genesis tells us we are composed only of dirt and the breath of God. Join the congregation of Community Presbyterian Church of Bellefonte as we talk about a recent kerfuffle at the Chapel of St. Starbuck's over America's use of civilians to pilot unmanned drones in Afghanistan in our sermon this week, Lizard Brains.

Let's Put on a Play

One of Jesus' most famous parables is the parable of the Prodigal Son, or, as Jesus actually named it, "The parable of a man with two sons". If we were to put on a play based on that parable, which roles would your life experience and character best fit you to play? Join us for this Sunday's sermon, Let's Put on a Play.

Wilderness Vision

How long would you have to watch a burning bush to notice that it is not being consumed? Would you invest that much time in it?

These are the two questions posed by the text from Exodus that describes Moses' encounter with the burning bush, and they are the questions posed to each of us during Lent, for Lent is the time in the church calendar when we are encouraged to leave the ordinary behind and to walk with Jesus through the extraordinary place called the wilderness.
