Rev. Sally DeMasters' scripture this morning, Matthew 14: 22-33, picks up where last week's left off.
Last week, Jesus saw the crowd and felt compassion - and then he healed and fed them. This week, we see Jesus going off by himself to pray, and then He walks on water to reach the disciples, who are in a boat and fighting a storm. At first, they think He's a ghost - then He says, "Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid."
Please click on the link below to watch and listen as Rev. Sally explains how Jesus reassured the disciples, saved Peter, and calmed the storm - and what His reassuring words can mean for us today.

For August 2, 2026 - Communion Sunday - Rev. Sally DeMasters chose Matthew 14: 13-21 as her Scripture - "the Feeding of the 5,000" - and titled her Sermon Lunch With Jesus.
She sets the scene for this miracle by pointing out it happens right after Jesus learns of the death of John the Baptizer, and even through he's gone away to a private place, he feels compassion for the folks who have followed him, and cures those who are sick.
And as the day ends, rather than send the crowd away to find food, he takes five loaves of bread and two fish, gives thanks to God, breaks the bread, and gives it to the disciples to share. Five thousand men - not including the women and children who are present - eat their fill, and twelve baskets of food are left over!

Reverend Sally DeMasters, preaching from Matthew 13:31-33 and 44-52, entitled her sermon for Sunday, July 26, "All Those Parables!"
She noted that, in the Lord's Prayer, we pray "Thy Kingdom Come," and that's her launching point for a discussion of the five parables found in this morning's Scripture lesson - parables which help us understand the Kingdom of God.

Rev. DeMasters, after reading today's Scripture Lesson (Matthew 13: 1-9 and 18-23), walks us through the Parable of the Sower. Her specific focus is on us, the "soil" referenced by Jesus, and she poses a very specific question: "What sort of soil are you?"

Rev. DeMasters began her sermon today with a cute joke: a student is taking an algebra test and needs to find X. The student writes, "Jesus is always the answer."
Today's Scriptures, Matthew 11:16-19 and 28-30, and Romans 7: 15-25a, aren't about math or algebra, but they are about dealing problems, real-life problems. Please click on the link below to watch and listen as Rev. Sally helps us understand that, in the face of life's issues, Jesus is indeed "the answer."

After rooting her sermon (Welcome and Warning and Wages) in today's Scripture lessons -- Matthew 10: 40-42, and Romans 6:20-23 -- Rev. DeMasters shares a beautiful quote from St. John Chrysostom: "Enter the Church to wash away your sins. In Her is a hospital, not a courtroom. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church again. Be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent."
From there, Rev. Sally walks us through the three "W"s of her message, concluding with a fourth one, "Wonderful," which includes the entirety of this quote from Arianna Freelen, "...Church is a group of sinners, saved by grace..."

Rev. Sally DeMasters, with today's Scriptures (Matthew 10: 26-33 and Romans 6:1-11) as background, points out that human nature is tricky - we try to get out of things we should do, we try to spin things to make them say what we want them to say, we put off living right until we're done living wrong.
But the thing is, God know us wholly and fully, and he wants us to be fully visible and fully committed as His people, as Christians.
In her sermon for today, "The Honesty and Commitment of Christianity," Rev. Sally leads us to an inescapable conclusion: as followers of Christ, we are called to be "all in."
