Sermon title: Defined By Generosity
Scripture: Genesis 28: 10-22
Preaching: Pastor Dave Bunje
Theme: Even in a season when we are careful to provide for our family and fearful of financial breakdown, we remain grateful for the generosity of God’s creation and care, and respond in a spirit of unabashed thankfulness. This is the gift of life in Christ which, step by step, we offer in love to friends and neighbors.

Sermon title: Community to Live With
Scripture: Genesis 7:11-12, 8:20-22, 9:8-13
Preaching: Pastor Dave Bunje
Theme: One of the key gifts of life in Christ is the experience of redemptive community. People are what exasperate us most, but also what comfort and inspire us best. The turning-point factor in the meaningfulness of living friends and family and church and town is forgiveness. This goes for God, too. And the rainbow emerges.
