Love That Disrupts 25:23

Jesus commanded his followers to have agape love their enemies in Luke 6:27-38 . This radical love isn’t passive; it disrupts cycles of hate and fear transforming the world rather than conforming to it. In this sermon, we explore what it means to embody a selfless love that refuses to mirror brokenness but instead works to heal and restore. --- Join us as Pastor Taylor Hall preaches a sermon entitled "Love That Disrupts" during a special combined worship service, bringing together our English, Arabic, and Chin/Burmese worshipers for one service.…

Danger in the Promised Land 34:15

Rev. Liz Heinzel-Nelson, Executive Director of our mission partner, Villages in Partnership (VIP), preached on a snowy January 19th service. VIP is a faith based nonprofit organization whose mission is to eliminate extreme poverty in rural Malawi. Liz co-founded VIP after she and her family stepped away from serving Allentown (New Jersey) Presbyterian Church to live and serve in Malawi for one year. When they returned to Allentown they felt called by God to set up VIP in 2009, with a strategy to address and improve the six underlying areas human thriving: food, water, education, health, economics, and infrastructure simultaneously. In doing so, they have seen entire villages emerge out of extreme poverty. Liz has dedicated her life to inviting others to come alongside the poor and most vulnerable, leading several teams to Malawi each year. I think you will find her work inspiring – as have those in this congregation who have traveled to Malawi to work with VIP. Liz and her husband, Stephen, have four adult children and two grandchildren.…
