“Thirsty? Have a Drink”

Rev. Kevin Murphy

Preparation Scriptures: Exodus 17: 1-7, Psalm 95, John 4: 1-42

Still water becomes stagnant and foul, but flowing water dancing in the sunlight becomes precious and life giving. We witness rapids, waterfalls, and tides possessing great overflowing power. Water is essential to life itself as we compare the lush green rain forests to dry arid wastelands. This sermon compares this to the experience and life giving power of Jesus in our lives. No matter what our thirst, it can be quenched permanently to overflowing by his love. And we become part of this flowing life giving power, dancing in the sunlight, bringing joy and spreading his thirst quenching love to others.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, 
have mercy on me, a sinner.

“God So Loves the World”

Rev. Kevin Murphy

Preparation Scriptures: Genesis 12: 1-4, Psalm 121, and John 3: 1-17

Sometimes we may wear Rose Colored Glasses and all is right with the world. Or we may wear 3-D glasses for an illusion of depth. Kevin, in this sermon, teaches us that our viewpoint of life may also be an illusion based upon a sheltered background in our own little corner of the world.

Life can be a jungle where it's a struggle just to manage to survive. Some compete to become the fittest; even becoming well organized so as to take advantage of the weak for their own benefit. When order is established in a society, progress can then take place. The question is, should order be imposed by force or embraced by choice?

Jesus came not to condemn the world, but to save it. Did he not teach us the advantages of cooperation and love over struggles motivated by greed and a desire for more power? How much better our world would be if everyone embraced this truth and all our energy could be used to benefit mankind rather than isolate and protect individual interests. Perhaps Jesus meant this when he said, “the Kingdom of God is within you”. Listen for the word of God as Kevin speaks live... Click the following:

"Temptations"

Rev. Kevin Murphy

Preparation Scriptures:                                                                                                      Genesis 2: 15-17, 3: 1-7, Psalm 32, and Matthew 4: 1-11

This sermon makes us aware that Temptation is not so much an outside influence personified by the Devil, but rather an internal influence or conscience ... our recognition of right and wrong. Kevin identifies the central theme of most temptation as grasping for power, perhaps to be more like god.  We may know right from wrong but are sometimes tempted to rationalize our use of an unfair advantage. Our rewards may be respect from our peers and honor to our leaders, while our ultimate objective should be peace within our soul and a recognition of the almighty power of our Lord.

These truths effect us as individuals as well as our society of Nations. As we grasp the responsible use of power we may begin to consider such issues as the use of corn for fuel while many people of the world go hungry. Listen as Kevin directs us to trust the abundance of God. Click the following.

"Mountain-top Experiences"

Rev. Kevin Murphy

Preparation Scriptures: Exodus 24: 12-18, 2 Peter 1: 16-21, and Matthew 17: 1-9

This sermon, a delightful allegory of a school of fish in their world beneath the sea, gives us yet another view of the life and purpose of Christ here on earth. As the fish feared the world of light above the sea, we see similarities to our own unfounded fear of the unknown world that God prepares for us. Should we become too comfortable in the knowledge we already have?... or should we seek to discover revelations beyond our present comprehension? Listen as Kevin guides you to answers by observing the unusual and special fish called Jesus. These revelations will become your Mountain-top Experience.
