Sermon: Trapped by Pastor Mark Harper

“Well, it seems like I’ve fallen in your trap again;
And it seems like I’ll be wearing the same old pains;
But good must conquer evil and truth will set me free;
So you see that somewhere I have found the key;
Yes, you see that somewhere I have found the key.”

Sermon: Shake it Off by Pastor Mark Harper

Scripture: 2 Samuel 1:1-17 and 2 Corinthians 8:7-15

Sermon: Rev. Eugene Eastman

You come through thick stone walls, armed guards, and bars;
you bring me a starry night and ask about this and that.
You are the redeemer.
I recognize you.
Even my cellar blooms with stars, and peace,
and light pours forth.
You sprinkle beautiful words on me like flowers:
“Son, what are you afraid of? I am with you!”

Justice for all overthrows injustice. The redemptive community supersedes systems of gross social immorality.” - Rev. James Lawson, September 22, 1928 - June 9, 2024
