Ok...I'm going to get in trouble with at least one of my superiors with this one, but here it is anyway. How many times have you heard someone speak with great certainty about the Rapture, or the End Times? Did it set your teeth on edge, or is that just me? Why do people want to invest so much energy into creating scenarios about the end times when the truthful answer would be "No One Knows"? That was the answer Jesus gave in Matthew 24. Do these people who speak with such certainty think they are smarter than Jesus? Join the Congregation of Community Presbyterian Church for this week's sermon, No One Knows, by clicking here.

Christ the King
Community Presbyterian lost its beloved Sexton this week. It was a shock to all of us. He had been part of the church since he was a youngster, and it seems so strange to see his pew seat empty. As we planned a memorial service for him, we extended an offer to the community to join with us in our grief. To our great surprise, the church was filled to the balcony.
How could one so quiet and unassuming have touched so many lives? Don't you need to have been a community leader, a doer of great things, to be mourned by masses of people? How could quiet John Bell have made such a stir in the community?
Since today is Christ the King Sunday, it gives us a chance to think of another humble servant -- Jesus of Nazareth -- and to meditate on the power of the servant life. Come join the congregation of Community Presbyterian and the friends and family of John Bell Judd for this week's sermon, Christ the King, by clicking here.

Pie
You don't have to hang around this old world very long before coming up against religious arguments. That's why people advise youngsters not to talk about religion or politics. And yet, what a shame that God's word becomes just a venue for tiresome argument. St. Soupy offered some good advice about this. Join the congregations of St. Starbuck's the Jittery and Community Presbyterian Church of Bellefonte for this week's sermon from Luke 20 entitled "Pie" by clicking here.
