Rev. Paul Merrill Matthew 9:14-17 September 2, 2018 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.” [audio mp3="https://www.fpcnewport.org/FPCwordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/2018_09_02.mp3"][/audio]...

Rev. Kimberly Merrill Romans 8:1-11 July 29, 2018 But if God himself has taken up residence in your life, you can hardly be thinking more of yourself than of him. Anyone, of course, who has not welcomed this invisible but clearly present God, the Spirit of Christ, won’t know what we’re talking about. But for you who welcome him, in whom he dwells—even though you still experience all the limitations of sin—you yourself experience life on God’s terms.

Rev. Paul Merrill Acts 17:22-34 July 8, 2018 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: To an Unknown God.

And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
