    Worship Service: Sermon only - 24 Apr, 2016

  • Why Does God Allow It?

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 17 Apr, 2016

    Because the Lord is all-loving and ultimately wise, He can see exactly how to intervene in every human situation both for the sake of the present and the future.

A challenge for us is to trust that He always knows what He is doing and that He always cares. | By Rev. Garry B Walsh , Phoenix, AZ

  • Why Am I Here?

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 3 Apr, 2016

    Many people in the course of their life will ask, "Why am I here?" This question often arises as a consequence of their self-doubts.

Garry B Walsh , Phoenix, AZ

  • The Morning of the First Day of the Week: An Easter message

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 14 Feb, 2016

    This is our annual "Honoring Caregivers" worship service. We consider the miracle that the Lord performed through Elijah ensuring that the widow's small amount of flour and oil never ran out.

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 7 Feb, 2016

    This week we think about how challenging elements in our own imperfect natures can cause us to feel weak or fragile.

Garry B Walsh , Phoenix, AZ

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 31 Jan, 2016

    This message reflects on the Matthew version of the Palm Sunday story. The focus is on the cry, "Hosanna!" This is a word that literally means, "O Save!" The question is: Save from what? The "saving" that we think about here, is saving from the negative voices that want to discourage us. | By Rev. Garry B Walsh , Phoenix, AZ

  • You Are All Brethren

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 24 Jan, 2016

These different aspects of the person we are inside are found in every affection that we feel. | By Rev. Garry B Walsh , Phoenix, AZ

  • Questioning the Lord's Authority

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 3 Jan, 2016

    This message thinks about what some people who saw the Lord in the world were missing out on. They failed to see that His essence was Love itself.

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 6 Dec, 2015

    This is a Christmas-season message that considers the story of Balaam's blessing of the Children of Israel. It is a story of hypocrisy and of contrasts. Balaam was forced to bless even though he wanted to curse. While he was trying to oppose the Lord's will, below in the valley was the encampment of the Children of Israel. This camp was an illustration of the Lord's kingdom among those for whom His will has also become their will. | By Rev. Garry B Walsh , Phoenix, AZ
