Why Christians Should Not Worry

Don’t Worry Be Happy! Another word for happy is blessed. It’s hard to experience real Christmas blessings when suffering from Christmas stress and worry. Jesus gave us 8 really good reasons not to worry in Luke 12:22-34. Prepare to hear a “worry-free” sermon!

#061: God's Antidote To Damaged Emotions

Do you sometimes struggle with guilt, grief, or grudges? Sure you do! You wouldn't be human if you didn't. We all have damaged emotions. Fortunately God wants to "restore my soul." In this sermon we'll talk about how to let God remove my guilt, relieve my grief, and replace my grudges. We'll also get caught up with the most recent leadership decisions at Church Requel!

Music for this week's podcast is "Counting On God" by Desperation Band.

Stressbuster #2 in the 23rd Psalm is God's antidote for busyness. Do you know how to really R.E.L.A.X. the way God intends? This is the Church Requel sermon from June 2nd. Many thanks to Rick Warren and Saddleback Resources for providing the original work, which serves as the basis for the Stressbusters series.

#038: Countdown

In this week's podcast we are counting day the final days toward our move to our new location... oh and the last weekend before Christmas!!!  I talk about all the things going on at Church Requel, the cleaning party last Wednesday, the kids singing last Sunday, the new sign being installed this week, plans for our last Sunday at Ontario Christian Fellowship this coming Sunday, and our very first service on Christmas Eve in our new location at St. Luke's Point of Grace.  If you want to be a Church Requel insider, then you will want to hear this week's podcast!

The last 25 minutes is the talk from this past Sunday night.  Want to see more pictures of the kids singing? Check out this Facebook album.  Here's a link to the video we played right before the talk. It's called "The Christmas Scale." It provided me the inspiration for the talk, "Don't Miss The Joy." You can read the sermon notes here.
