Sermon: Plan? What Plan?

December 27, 2017 by FCCH Staff

12.24.2017         Preaching Text: “[According] to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages but is now disclosed…” (Romans 16:25-26) The theme that stands out in our readings this morning is a prominent feature of biblical theology, yet one ignored by many modern-day Christians. It has to do with covenant. A covenant, […]

Sermon: Who Are We to Judge?

November 27, 2017 by FCCH Staff

11.26.2017     Preaching Text: “[For] I was hungry…I was thirsty…I was a stranger…I was naked…I was in prison…” (Matthew 25:35-36) Today’s reading from Matthew is one of the most commonly used in the U.C.C. The reason is that we’ve always sought to champion the well-being of the poor and the oppressed. The U.C.C.’s stated self-identity, after […]
