Finding Healing from Disappointment – Advent

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 11/29/20 by Pastor Steve Sheilds

Have recent events left you disappointed?

Are you disappointed about restrictions related to commonwealth directives? Disappointed by people you know? Disappointed about the holidays and what you may have give up?

In this video, I talk about disappointment – and how to find healing from it.

It’s important to deal with disappointment before it deals with you.

Compassionate Judgment?

Presented on November 8th 2020 at Curwensville Alliance Church by Pastor Steve Shields

Everyone’s favorite verse, at least once or twice in your life, is Matthew 7:1. We like it, because we think that it helps us avoid taking responsibility for our actions.

But is that what Jesus is wanting to communicate to us? That we can avoid taking responsibility for our actions?

Hardly..

In this video, we look at the passage of scripture before us and discern the kinds of judgment Jesus is talking about.

Sermon on the Mount: The Lord’s Prayer

Presented on 10/11/20 by Pastor Steve at Curwensville Alliance.

This week’s video didn’t work as well as we’d hoped, but it’s here for you. The actual service video will begin after the elder prayer.

As we’ve said, The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus’ way of telling us that we’re seeing things backwards. From the start, where he notes that poor in spirit being blessed, throughout the message, he shows us that life is different than we think.

In this message, I try to help you see that theme as it runs, even through Jesus’ teaching on prayer.

Love Who!? – The Sermon on the Mount

Presented on 9/20/20 at 10:45 AM at Curwensville Alliance

In the kingdom, Jesus says, we are to love our enemies.

That may sound far-fetched — until you give some thought to what love is and how God loves.

In this message, Pastor Steve presents the eighth sermon from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.

As you watch, see if you can understand how to love — even your enemies.
