We Have Nothing to Lose
Guest Speaker
| February 28, 2022
In this sermon, our guest preacher, The Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III from Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, challenges the people of the church to step out of the places where we have been restricted, so that we can participate in the change that Jesus came to bring through the gift of his life and his love.

Did God Make Us Good?
Pen Peery
| February 20, 2022
This week's sermon is the third in our series called "Questions of Faith" and answers the question "Did God make us good?" The question arises from some of our members who have been studying Fr. Richard Rohr and Fr. Gregory Boyle - both of whom are Roman Catholic priests. What our members noticed is that there is a difference between the Catholic's view of humanity and what the Presbyterian church has taught. To get at this week's question, the sermon focused on the first story of creation in Genesis 1:26-2:3.

Does God Hear Me When I Pray?
Robert Galloway
| February 6, 2022
This week begins the three week sermon series "Questions of Faith." The children of the church asked, "Does God hear me when I pray?" This question has been asked many times and in many ways since God reached out to God's people for the first time. The answer to our question is "Yes." Scripture confirms this answer even when we are in doubt and struggling to grow and understand our faith. We will also think about the way the question was asked and what that reveals about us as humans and our relationship to God. This sermon was preached by Rev. Robert Galloway on February 6, 2022 at First Presbyterian Church of Charlotte.
