The Difference Between Snakes Sent and Snakes Let Go – March 10, 2024

March 10, 2024

Melissa Florer-Bixler

Numbers 21: 4-9 John 3: 14-21 Our perspective on the trials and tribulations of life can have a profound effect and how we formulate our understanding of God’s character and our own place and purpose in God’s creation. Melissa Florer-Bixler preaches on the long and arduous Exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt and how […]

The Temple is a Home – Mar. 3, 2024

And that’s really important, especially for us, because most of us […]

Into the Wilderness of Lent – Feb. 18, 2024

February 18, 2024

Phil Jackson

RMC member Phil Jackson preached on the temptation of Christ in the wilderness as told in Mark 1: 9-15. Although this relation of the beginning of Jesus’ ministry is very brief, we should not be fooled into reading too quickly past Mark’s description of this pivotal event. In it we can see how Jesus is […]
