Easter Makes All the Difference
He is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! Easter is our triumphant day. Without Easter, there would be no reason to gather as a church. But Jesus is alive and that makes all the difference.

Beyond Sunday: Worship
In this message, Pastor Phil will talk about the spiritual discipline of worship. Worship is central to a Christian’s life. It is about more than what we do for an hour on Sunday morning. Having a heart of worship is about what we assign value and worth in our lives. Sermon outline: https://www.gs4nj.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/2022_04_03_outline.pdf

Beyond Sunday: Solitude
Our message series is Beyond Sunday: Everyday Practices for an Everyday Faith. In this message, Pastor Phil will talk about the spiritual discipline of solitude. It is good to turn down the noise and to be alone in our thoughts. Psalm 46 tells us to be still and know that God is God. It is through solitude that were are renewed and given insight by God.

Beyond Sunday: Fasting
Our message series is Beyond Sunday: Everyday Practices for an Everyday Faith. In this message, Pastor Phil will talk about the spiritual discipline of fasting.

A Series on the Psalms: Psalm 136
In this week’s Psalm 136, the psalmist expresses the same line 26 times. It is repeated in response to the biblical and historical proof of His existence. In His creation and redemption of the Jewish people the psalmist continues to speak “for his steadfast love endures forever.” Still, even in their journeying with God, as God led them from slavery to freedom, the Jewish people always needed proof. We can act in the same manner today, always requiring proof of God’s faithfulness for us. We will take the Psalm and compare it with Jesus’ feeding of the five thousand in John’s Gospel in search of enduring proof.

A Series on the Psalms: Psalm 130
Sometimes we walk through the valley or feel like we are stuck in a pit. We wonder if God is on our side and might even question his existence. So many of the Psalms wrestle with these thoughts and feelings. They are called Psalms of Lament. They help us to continue our walk in faith even through the most difficult times. In them, we discover we are not alone and that God is our hope, able to redeem any bad situation. Our reading this week is Psalm 130.
