  • 12/23/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Guardian of the Light
    Joseph is such an underrated person in the life of Christ - but Joseph sacrificed it all to guard the light that is Christ in a world at war with itself - all that he had, all that he was - all given to the Lord of Lord's and King of Kings - what does Joseph have to say to us this Advent season? The scriptures were Matthew 1:18-25 and Matthew 2:13-15. A […]
  • 12/16/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Vessel of Light
    Mary, the one chosen to carry the Son of God, the Light of the world. What implications did saying 'yes' to the angel of God have on her life? So often it seems that it was such an easy thing to be the vessel of light in the world, but was it? The scriptures were Luke 1:26-38 and Luke 1:39-56
  • 12/2/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Torch Bearer
    Darkness and Light - the prevailing theme of Advent. Always been interesting to me how oftentimes just a bit of light in a dark room - even the pinpoint of a cell phone screen can help me to see in the middle of the darkest night as I get my bearings if I need to get up and check out the sounds that go bump in the night. Without light to lessen the darkness […]
  • 11/25/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Forgiveness: It’s a God Thing!
    Sin is troubling - either being the one doing the sinning or the one sinned against. Forgiveness is necessary - but hard. Yet, even when we are forgiven do we receive the gift? Even when we forgive, do we release the gift - to truly forgive is a God thing.....with God-sized outcomes..... The scriptures were Nehemiah 2:17-18, 6:15-16, 8:1 and Nehemiah 8:2-3, […]
  • 11/18/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ When It All Comes Together
    What happens when it all comes together? When we come to that place when our lives become an offering? All that we have - all that we are - what happens then? The scriptures were Exodus 39:32-43 and Exodus 40:16-34.
  • 11/11/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ To Serve is to Sacrifice
    Any God sightings in your daily living? Where have you seen God lately? AND have you shared these experiences with others - what’s your witness like? It matters! The scriptures were Acts 3:1-10 and Acts 3:11-16. A video of this sermon from the Common Ground service is available on PenderUMC.org
  • 11/4/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Witness
    Any God sightings in your daily living? Where have you seen God lately? AND have you shared these experiences with others - what’s your witness like? It matters! The scriptures were Acts 3:1-10 and Acts 3:11-16. A video of this sermon from the Common Ground service is available on PenderUMC.org
  • 10/28/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Stewardship of Our Words
    Sticks and stones can break our bones but words can never hurt us - the rhyme of childhood which is incredibly misleading! We live in a culture of warring words that leave hurts and scars far more painful than any stick or stone we might be able to throw - how can we be better stewards of the words we use? The scriptures were James 3:5b-12 and James 1:19-20 […]
  • 10/21/18, Rev. Lloyd Rollins ~ Gifts
    What do you find joy in doing? In what things do you excel? These are the things defined as our God-given talents - the skills God has blessed us with as we go about our lives in the world. Once we have identified those talents, the question becomes WHY has God given us these talents? For ourselves and our own pleasure....or for something more? The 'som […]
