  • It Doesn't Matter As Much As You Think
    Jan 11 2026

    One of the biggest jobs we all have during this new year is that of trying to decide what is important and what is not so important. We are all guilty at times of putting major emphasis on minor matters. But how do we sort out and decide between the things that are urgent and things that are essential? God has help for us with anything in our lives which needs fine-tuning. Today we will look at the life of Jesus, and we'll see how He dealt with this important matter.

  • If He Had Not Come
    Jan 4 2026

    All during these past weeks of the Christmas season, our thoughts have been turned, as they have each year, to the meaning of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. The season has been enriched by beautiful music, stories of events surrounding His birth, Nativity scenes, words spoken in sermons and other written messages in meaningful Christmas cards, and countless other ways in which we have tried to celebrate His birth. But have you ever thought: what would it have been like if Jesus had NOT come to earth - then, now, or ever? Well, that's our subject for today's message.

  • Communion Service
    Dec 28 2025

    Several times each year, those who come to worship here in a campground setting are united in the observance of the meal of remembrance which was instituted by our Lord Jesus. It goes by several titles: The Lord's Supper, Holy Communion, the Eucharist, Divine Liturgy, the Mass, and others. Today the entire service is planned around this sacred experience. While those listening to our service on podcast are not able to join us in this actual observance, we pray that this may be a meaningful time for you also.
