Sermons at Blooming Glen are an important element to our Sunday morning worship services. Generally the sermons are preached by one of our pastors; seeking to offer encouragement, instruction and hope. Below you will find the most recent sermons, which can be played online or downloaded for those on the go. Recent Sermons: "Longing for Home" (09-05-10) - Firman GingerichRevelation 21:1-4, 22:1-5, John 14:1-3 - God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it. Trusting that God will make all things right if I surrender to God’s will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy in the next. Amen.
