Pastor's Commentary

The Portland Oregon congregations of the United Church of God hold weekly services and Bible studies in which the teachings of the Bible are expounded. Some of these messages are listed on this page for your review. Feel free to listen to or download any of the messages listed on this page.


What is a Sermon?

One of the primary duties of a pastor is to nourish the flock in the Word of God. This is done by various means but the sermon is an important element in a Christian's life. A sermon is designed to be encouraging, guiding and enlightening. A sermon may contain many elements: be allegorical, draw an analogy, provide humor, provide counsel, explain prophecy, or guide the steps of a maturing Christian. Wrapping these elements into a meaningful message requires skill in the Word Of God, practical experience and a dedication to the congregation. Each week, the congregation learns more of the Way of God.
