• Shift 3 - A Shift of Focus

  Worship Service: Sermon only - 19 Feb, 2012

  How do we get motivated to actually change our lives for the better? There are a lot of different elements that go into it. One of the key elements of it, though, is something that I really hadn't thought of before I studied the story for this Sunday. So I'm pretty excited to talk to you about it. | By Malcolm G. Smith, Westville, RSA

• Shift 2 - Shift of Perspective

  Worship Service: Sermon only - 12 Feb, 2012

  One of life's most powerful shifts can occur when we no longer think of God as someone "out there," but as the One who is also right here, always here within us. This Shift brings new perspective. No longer do we feel drained by the conflicts in our lives, but we see the way the Lord is working through them to lead us to a higher place. | By Derrick Lumsden, Westville, RSA

• Shift 1 - Become Aware

  Worship Service: Sermon only - 5 Feb, 2012

  Often, when conflict arises, we choose to bury the tension, preferring to get on with our daily agenda. Inevitably, though, the unresolved conflict drains energy from us until we bring it to our awareness. This week, we will discuss shifting our awareness by paying attention to the conflict. | By Derrick Lumsden, Westville, RSA

• The Sacraments

  Worship Service: Sermon only - 29 Jan, 2012

• Dealing With Rejection

  Worship Service: Sermon only - 22 Jan, 2012

  It is easy to feel hurt when someone turns away from something we offer. This Sunday we are talking about reframing rejection so that we don't carry the burden and hurt of another person's choices. | By Derrick Lumsden, Westville, RSA

• Loneliness -Loss

  Worship Service: Sermon only - 15 Jan, 2012

  Losing contact with someone we love through death or immigration creates a particular kind of loneliness. This loneliness is a separation from people we would wish to have more contact with. Unfortunately, in many cases more contact is not possible, and so we call this loneliness a loss. We have lost something that cannot be regained. So how do we deal with this loneliness? Please note this sermon is the second in a series of two. You will get more out of this sermon if you listen to the first. http://www.newchurchaudio.org/event/20836.html | By Derrick Lumsden, Westville, RSA

• Loneliness - Longing for More

  Worship Service: Sermon only - 8 Jan, 2012

  Loneliness is a fairly universal human experience. Loneliness can occur for a number of reasons, one of which is the desire for more than we have--more connection, more love, more friends. This sermon explores one of the pitfalls of loneliness and what do we do to make it through to the other side. | By Derrick Lumsden, Westville, RSA

• Birth of John and the Promise of Peace

  Worship Service: Sermon only - 18 Dec, 2011

  How does the birth of John the Baptist relate to peace in our lives and how can we obtain that peace? | By Derrick Lumsden, Westville, RSA

• The Promise of New Life

  Worship Service: Sermon only - 4 Dec, 2011

  The Christmas story in Luke begins with an elderly priest named Zacharias performing his customary rituals in the temple. Why does it begin this way? In the overall story this scene sets the stage for the Lord being born because an angel comes to Zacharias and tells him that he will have a son who will prepare people to receive the Lord. But, on a deeper level, this first scene provides a picture of our state before the Lord is born into our lives. Has your faith or religion ever felt old, tired, ritualistic, and childless? An angel is about to come with some unbelievable news. | By Malcolm G. Smith, Westville, RSA

• What is the Lord Passionate About?

  Worship Service: Sermon only - 27 Nov, 2011

  We often feel like we really get to know someone when we know what they are passionate about. The things that are important to a person make them who they are. So, to get our mind around Christmas, what is the Lord passionate about? God came down to earth as a means of accomplishing what He cared about more than anything else. | By Derrick Lumsden, Westville, RSA
