Amy Morgan September 29, 2024 John 1:14,16 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth. From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. Ephesians 2:1-10 You were dead through the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world,[a] following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work among those who are disobedient.[b] 3 All of us once lived among them in the passions of our flesh, doing the will of flesh and senses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like everyone else, 4 but God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ[c]—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places[...

Watch the Sermon here First United Presbyterian Church “Original Words: Shalom” Rev. Amy Morgan September 22, 2024 Numbers 6:22-27 22 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying: Thus you shall bless the Israelites: You shall say to them: 24 The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; 26 the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. 27 “So they shall put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.” Isaiah 57:14-21 It shall be said, “Build up, build up, prepare the way;     remove every obstruction from my people’s way.” 15 For thus says the high and lofty one     who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place     and also with those who are contrite and humble in spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble     and to revive the heart of the contrite. 16 For I will not continually accuse,     nor will I...
