Sermons Preached at Wooster First Presbyterian Church

  • "A Good Scare"
    Sun, 06/20/2010    Dr. Jeff Paschal, Pastor
    Psalm 43 Luke 8:26-39


              This is the time of year for being scared, because this is the time when people go to amusement parks. A few years ago, I recall seeing a series of T.V. commercials; I think they were for Cedar Point. We watched a guy, twenty something years old. He was being asked about some huge roller coaster at the park. The man yelled his explanation and swayed back and forth for emphasis. “And it goes like, whoa! And it goes like, whoa! And it goes like, whoa!” Nothing like the subtlety of a roller coaster enthusiast.

  • "Feet Kisser"
    Sun, 06/13/2010    Dr. Jeff Paschal, Pastor
    Galatians 2:15-21 Luke 7:36-8:3

    Though I’m not always so careful now, growing up in the 60s and 70s in a conservative southern town, we were taught not to cuss, or as northerners might put it, we were taught not to "swear". Unlike the pottymouths we constantly hear on television and in the movies today, we were expected to find alternatives to four-letter vulgarities and their like. You didn’t take God’s name in vain. So you said, "gosh almighty" or "my gosh" or "dad gummit." You didn’t say "damn." You said "dang." You didn’t say "hell." You said "heck." And you didn’t say "kiss my . . ." Oh, never mind.

  • Funeral Crasher
    Sun, 06/06/2010    Dr. Jeff Paschal, Pastor
    Psalm 146 Luke 7:11-17

    Over the last two weeks, I’ve attended two graduation ceremonies. And I think you’ll agree with me. Some people just don’t know how to act in public.

  • "Lead In the Way"
    Sun, 05/30/2010    Rev. Emily Krause Corzine, Associate Pastor
    John 16:4b-15

    Our text today is found within the long farewell discourse that Jesus has with his disciples in the 4th Gospel. Jesus teaches his disciples throughout this Gospel with many signs and miracles. These are found in the first 12 chapters of the Gospel of John. In Chapter 13, Jesus begins his farewell discourse in which the next seven chapters reveal the last teachings Jesus left for his disciples. All of which probably left the disciples confused. Jesus spends the night before his arrest pointing to all that was to come.

  • All Together In One Place
    Sun, 05/23/2010    Rev. Charles Cureton, Parish Associate
    Genesis 11:1-9 Acts 2:1-21

    Fifty days after we celebrated Easter in this sanctuary, we come this morning to celebrate the fulfillment of Easter’s promise.  We come to celebrate Pentecost, when extraordinary things happened to ordinary people, when patient and prayerful waiting yielded to the frightening and overwhelming arrival of God’s Spirit.

  • "Witness of Freedom"
    Sun, 05/16/2010    Dr. Jeff Paschal, Pastor
    Psalm 97 Acts 16:16-34

    "Witness of Freedom" FPC 5-16-10


    Psalm 97, Acts 16:16-34


     This morning’s reading from the Book of Acts gets us thinking about some questions. Who’s really a slave? Who’s really free? And how is God at work in the church as a witness to the freedom God offers?

  • "This Faithful Life"
    Sun, 05/02/2010    Rev. Emily Krause Corzine, Associate Pastor
    Matthew 20:1-15

    Two years ago, when I was fresh out of seminary, I volunteered to assist my good friend who was the co-chair of the stewardship campaign. I offered to give the “minute-for-mission”, where I spoke to the value of stewardship as an act of worship.

  • "Choose Your Treasure"
    Sun, 04/25/2010    Dr. Jeff Paschal, Pastor
    Joshua 24:13-18 Matthew 6:19-21

    "Choose Your Treasure”

    Joshua 24:13-18, Matthew 6:19-21

              This is one of those good news/bad news sermons. Which do you want to hear first, the good news or the bad news? [Who wants to hear the good news first? Raise your hand. Who wants to hear the bad news first? Raise your hand.] Too bad for all you responsible, delayed-gratification people out there! You’re getting the good news first anyway.
