In her sermon, “God’s Voice Gives Us Vision,” Pastor Gail looks at Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, Chapters 4 and 5, where he admonishes the members of the church to use their Spirit given gifts to work together in love, imitating not the world but Christ. We need to find out what our strengths and spiritual gifts are so that when we hear the Lord, we are ready to do what God wants us to do for others to build his Kingdom here on earth.

In her sermon, “Waiting and Listening for God’s Voice,” Pastor Gail looks at instances where God spoke to people in the Bible, such as Moses, Samuel, Elijah, and Jesus and the lessons these teach us to apply in our own lives. Speaking with God begins in prayer, but we must wait for God’s response. God may speak in spectacular ways, as he did at Mount Sinai. But most of the time it is in the gentle whisper that Elijah experienced at Mount Horeb, not the violence of the storm, earthquake, and fire that preceded it. Jesus gave us the example of repeatedly praying alone with God, and being open to what God wants to be done. If we are patient and listen, we will hear what God wants us to do for others to build his Kingdom here on earth.

In her sermon, “God’s Gifts Reveal Our Identity in Him,” Pastor Gail looks at Paul’s explanation in 1 Corinthians 12 that the spiritual gifts the Holy Spirit bestows on believers are unique to each of us. We need to discover what spiritual gifts we have been given, as well as insight into what our strengths are. To use our gifts and talents effectively, we must grow our relationship with God and with each other. Then as the body of Christ, we can work together using our spiritual gifts to accomplish his plan to build the Kingdom of God on earth.

In her sermon, “God’s Love Abides in Open Hearts,” Pastor Gail looks at John 15 to explore what Jesus meant when he says that he is the true vine and we are to be his fruitful branches. The relationship was one his listeners understood and were familiar with. By appreciating the life cycle of the grapevine, we see how branches that can no longer bear fruit must be pruned so that the healthy ones can thrive. Jesus affirms that his believers have been chosen by him. As disciples we are to abide in Jesus and obey his commandment to love one another, so we will bear much fruit. To conclude this part of the service, there is a period of personal reflection on what this means to each of us.

In her sermon, “Our Hearts Revealed,” Pastor Gail looks at the Easter story as found in John 20 and other scriptures to show that our response to the actions of God shows what is in our hearts. God had rolled away the stone that separated Mary Magdalene, John, and Peter from the evidence that Jesus had been resurrected. John and Peter saw the empty tomb and went home, believing. Mary stayed and encountered the risen Lord, although she did not recognize him until he called her name. God is always seeking us out by name, ready to help remove the obstacles to belief, but we must respond in love. When we do, we, too, can encounter the risen Lord and be transformed into his messengers of hope and salvation.
