  Watch the Sermon here The First United Presbyterian Church “Endurance” Rev. Amy Morgan November 16, 2025 Psalm 98 1 Sing to GOD a new song,   for GOD has done marvelous things. 2 With their right hand and holy arm   have they won the victory. 3 GOD has made known their victory;   their righteousness they have openly shown in the sight of the nations. 4 GOD remembers their mercy and faithfulness to the house of Israel,   and all the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God. 5 Shout with joy to GOD, all you lands;   lift up your voice, rejoice, and sing. 6 Sing to GOD with the harp,   with the harp and the voice of song. 7 With trumpets and the sound of the horn   shout with joy before the Ruler, GOD. 8 Let the sea make a noise and all that is in it,   the lands and those who dwell therein. 9 Let the rivers clap their hands,   and let the hills ring out with joy before GOD, when GOD comes to judge the earth. 10 In righteousness...

Are we grateful for the half we have, or upset about the half that is lacking? Are we hopeful that the rest will fill up, or are we anxious that we’ll empty out?   But these are not the only two ways we experience life. Sometimes, we feel like this: fill glass all the way full. Our metaphorical bucket is full. We feel like we’ve got enough – time, energy, resources, emotional capacity, knowledge, etc. We feel like we are enough. We’re feeling confident, groun...

Watch the Sermon here  The First United Presbyterian Church “The Heart of the Matter: More Than We Could Ask or Imagine” Rev. Amy Morgan October 26, 2025 Ephesians 3:20-21   Now to God, who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to God be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.  He could not have imagined it. He could not have imagined how a tiny startup, operating out of a garage in Los Altos, California, would someday be worth almost 4 trillion dollars. Which is really too bad. Because back in 1976, Ronald Wayne owned a 10% share in Apple as the third original investment partner in the company. He sold his stake to the other two partners, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, less than two weeks after the company went into business, for $800. Today, his share of the company would be worth hundreds of billions of dollars.   Lack of imagination can be costly. And chu...
