December 23, 2018 - Pastor Barry Clair presents part 1 of the message "JOY".

Today I'm going to begin a two-part message.  I'm going to being the first part today and finish it up real quick tomorrow evening.

Let me begin by asking you a question.  When I say the words 'Christmas' and 'Jesus', what words come to mind?  If we really think about it, there are often at least four words that are most always associated with 'Jesus' at 'Christmas'.  They are Love, Peace, Hope, and of course Joy.

And I would submit that the number one word associated with Jesus at Christmas is Joy.  In fact, JOY is a cultural icon of Christmas.

December 16, 2018 - Pastor Barry Clair presents the message "What DID Mary Know?".

There is a great song that, at the risk of being overplayed, has entered into Christmas Carol status.  The song is called Mary Did You Know? ...you'll hear it a bunch this season, but it includes some lyrics that are very ponderable.  For instance: "Mary did you know...

• This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you?


• When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God?


• That sleeping child you're holding is the great I Am?

WOW!

Well lately, I began to ask the question, What DID Mary know?  That's what I'd like to try to answer this morning...

December 9, 2018 - Pastor Barry Clair concludes the series "Living Up: When Life Is Getting You Down".

I want to end this series today by talking about the two words that make it impossible to live up when life is getting you down.

Those two words, and many of us use them, I have used them in the past, "If Only"...

December 2, 2018 - Pastor Barry Clair continues with Part 5 of the series "Living Up: When Life Is Getting You Down".

In the course of this series, we have been looking at several emotional and psychological issues that transcended local culture and history. These ruinous societal issues have threatened to destroy people of faith down through the ages.

Today, we open the New Covenant to stud a woman who was closely associated with Jesus.  We will see that Martha had a problem with stress.  She was stressed out!  It caused her to have difficulty living up when life was getting her down.

November 25, 2018 - Pastor Barry Clair continues with Part 4 of the series "Living Up: When Life Is Getting You Down".

After looking at David's Deepening Depression, The Bullying & Shaming of Hannah, and Elijah's Anxiety and Panic, today in our series "Living Up: When Life Is Getting You Down" we look at The Explosive Anger of Moses.

I know this will come as a shock to many of you students of the Bible, but Moses had an anger issue.
