Living Gratefully 6: The Gift of Uncertainty
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 13 Mar, 2016
Most of us like to know what is happening and why. We like certainty. But this week, we are talking about the gift of uncertainty. Why does God sometimes seem to be hiding?

Living Gratefully Part 2: The Gift of Freedom
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 14 Feb, 2016
From the time that Adam and Eve were in the garden of Eden, God has offered us choices. Sometimes it seems like life would be easier if we didn't have to work so hard to choose to do good. Other times we don't feel very free at all. But still, most of recognise that freedom is an incredible gift from God. Why is freedom so important? And how can we experience genuine freedom - freedom from our own selfish impulses and habits? Join us for this second week in our "Living Gratefully" series as we talk about the first gift of Divine Providence: freedom. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn , Westville, RSA
