Pastor Marlene continues her sermon series on Isaiah 9:6, as she explores what it means for us today that Jesus is called the 'Everlasting Father.'

Pastor Marlene Soffera returns this week with a message from the book of Daniel, chapter 5. This is the story from which we get the expression "the writing is in the wall" -- the mysterious hand that writes a terse 4-word message to Belshazzar. Do you live a life of thanks to the God who has made you and holds your life in His hand?

Minister Eugene Nelson, Jr., is our guest speaker today, bringing us a message of thanksgiving from 2 Samuel 6:12-15 and Luke 17:11-19. For everything God has done for us, in everything we do, give thanks unto God.

In the fourth and final sermon in the series on Jonah, Pastor Marlene Soffera moves farther into the character of a merciful God, and Jonah's reaction to it. Do you ever get angry like Jonah did in Jonah 4? Do you have a right to it?

In this third sermon in the series on Jonah, Pastor Marlene Soffera uses Jonah 3 to illumine us about the character of God.

In this second part of her series on Jonah, Pastor Marlene Soffera walks us through the prayer Jonah made, and shows how that can apply in our own prayer lives.

Pastor Marlene Soffera begins a series now in the book of Jonah, taking the reading from Jonah, chapter 1, to show us what can happen when you run from the task the Lord has put before you. Just because you stay away from water to avoid being swallowed by a fish does not mean you can escape the consequences!

Pastor Marlene takes Romans 14:1-12 to remind us that there are disputable matters, matters left open where reasonable and honorable Christians can disagree. And we should never try to imply they are less Christian, simply because they disagree with us.

Love is a verb; we hear that often enough, but what does it mean? Pastor Marlene Soffera shows us from the passage in Romans 13:8-14 what that means.

Pastor Marlene continues her series on the book of Romans, taking today the passage Romans 12:9-21 as her starting point to show us how we can best use our differences in the service of God: by showing His love to all through them.

Just as your own body has many different parts working within it, from heart and lungs to eyes, hands and feet, so does the church. Pastor Marlene Soffera takes Romans 12: 1-8 as the starting text to show us that while we each are valuable parts of the body, we are different, and those differences make us a stronger body.

Pastor Marlene Soffera continues her series on the book of Romans, using Romans 11: 1-32 to talk to us about the Mercy of God, what it is and how it Changes Things for us.
