Rev. Rhonda O'Reilly
We all agree on the Trinity … we include references to the Trinity several time each service … we have many ways of describing the Trinity ... BUT … can we really totally understand the true meaning?
This sermon, while recognizing our mortal inadequacy to fully understand or even express our understanding, explores the many and varied explanations and opinions on the subject for our enlightenment. Perhaps we can conclude that the Trinity is best summarized as “God's Love Overflowing”.
We may never fully understand the mystery of the Trinity, but hearing this sermon will bring you so much closer to that goal. Click the following:

“COME SPIRIT COME”
Rev. Kevin Murphy
Preparation Scriptures: Genesis 11: 1-9, Acts 2: 1-21, and John 14: 8-17; 25-27
We have all experienced emptiness, a draining of our spirit, from various disappointing occasions in our lives. And we try in vain to fill the void with distracting activity or excessive behavior. But ...
"Emptiness is the antithisis of the living God's creative will for the world".
This sermon reminds us of that creation of the world by God … from emptiness. And the euphoric filling of emptiness among the diciples by the resurrection and blinding spirit of his son, Jesus.
May the spirit of God fill your emptiness by listening to this uplifting sermon:

That They Be One
Rev. Kevin Murphy
Preparation Scripture: Psalm 97, Acts 16: 17-34, and John 17: 20-26
We all admire the heroes of this world, especially those who have contributed to our comfort, health, and enjoyment. These individuals often achieve unique results by striking out alone … thinking outside the box … and outside their own comfort zone. If they have been blessed with special skills and work diligently, they sometime succeed in bringing us another gift from God.
Jesus, himself, was unique among men bringing us the greatest gift from God. But his final message to his deciples and the world was not to pursue uniqueness ... but to unify as one.

WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE?
Rev. Kevin Murphy
Preparation Scripture: Psalm 67, Acts 16: 9-15, and John 5: 1-9
When Jesus approached a man lying by a pool called Bethesda, discovering that he had been disabled for near 38 years, he asked, “Do you want to get well?” As the man expressed his invalid condition, Jesus commanded him to “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” … and the man was cured.
This sermon is an interesting story that traces the life of an energetic young Christian who, over time, drifted from his church and eventually became homeless. Upon meeting one of his childhood Christian friends and sharing the events of his life, the friend asked “Do you want to turn your life around?”
Perhaps life is like that. We can wait for someone or something to provide our comfort and success … or we can “Pick up our mat and walk.” And while were at it, we can find ways to help others in so many ways … like putting a smile on the face of an unfortunate man at Harvest Home Park, by offering our prayers here at Northwest Community Church.

HOW BIG IS GOD'S LOVE?
Rev. Kevin Murphy
We all attempt to establish our identity by associating ourselves with boundaries and benchmarks. In doing so, we identify our differences … and our uniqueness. We then tend to group with others of similar beliefs and values … while excluding or restricting those that we consider different.
This sermon questions whether our tendency to exclude is counter to God's own tendency to be inclusive. After all, it was expressed by Jesus to his deciples that they include all … Jewish and Gentile alike in declaring his salvation to ALL believers throughout the whole world. We should, therefore, seek to understand how this might apply to each new generation. Perhaps our differences are not as important as we might perceive.
