The Seed of a New Creation
Pastor Dennis’ sermon on fatherhood for Father’s Day 2013. http://www.graceucclancaster.org/sermons/2013-06-16.mp3
Fearing the Good News, Eliminating or Enhancing God’s Power
The sermon this week was based on the lectionary passages from I Kings 17:8-24 and Luke 7:11-17. Both are stories of widows who had lost their sons. Pastor Dennis asked me to consider not posting this week’s sermon because he didn’t think it was one of his best. Rick Geyer’s sudden passing just 3 hours or so before the service was clearly weighing heavily on him. However, some of our members look forward to this when they can’t make it…
