Welcome to the Sermon
Library section! Here you can find the gospel messages that are proclaimed
each Sunday. Most morning sermons deal with one text of the Bible, while
the afternoon preaching focuses on the main teachings of Scripture.
These teachings have been simply and succinctly summarized by the church
in a written confession called the Heidelberg
Catechism. For both sermons, God’s Word remains the source
and base. For more information on these types of sermons, please visit
the Worship Services page.
The introduction
to each sermon is printed below, with full audio files of the whole
message available to hear via MP3 Audio format for quick downloads.
In the meantime,
go ahead, take a few minutes and listen to what God is saying to you!
Use of Sermons: Please note that these sermons are intended for audio listening only and not for public reading during worship services. However, feel free to download the sermon and make a CD for your personal use. Thank-you. |
