"It's hard to express the deep gratitude I have for you as I lean on the exit door, knowing a new and wonderful entrance awaits Pastor Mac.

I will spell it out for you this week in worsh…

“This week we look forward to welcoming long time DPC friend Ruth Faith Santana-Grace as our guest preacher.

“Instead of my usual ‘sermon blurb’ this week, I am thrilled that we will welcome Rev. Dr. Eric Barreto, from Princeton Seminary, to DPC. Eric is an amazing preacher and teacher! His classes are the first to fill up each year. Eric will preach at both services and then, during the education hour, lead us in a discussion of life in the early church …

“I am not sure if the Apostle Paul had a voice like Luciano Pavarotti, or if he couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket. In either case, the Bible says when he sang, people listened. The same can be said of you and me. People are always listening to our song. I'll share more this week during worship.” -Rev. Dr. Tom Kort…

Dr. MacHenry "Mac" Schafer is intrigued by the mission of DPC: “Be a bridge for Christ and a beacon of His love.” Many texts in the Bible involve locations that are thresholds where a crossing is necessary.

"Jesus had a gift for spinning a good story, many of which described what the Kingdom of God is like. This week we will linger with the story about the workers in the vineyard. I imagine, if the owner of the vineyard tried to pull a stunt like that today, we would sue for unfair labor practices. I mean fair is fair, but in the process, we might mis…

"Some of us remember the famous line, 'the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat,' which describes not only sports but life and faith. More than 10,000 world class athletes are descending on Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics. I am not sure if all the authors of the Bible were good athletes, or watched Wide World of Sports, or ESPN, but they of…

“I heard someone quip, that the world operates on the Golden Rule. He or she who has the most gold, makes all the rules. Interestingly, Jesus never owned a piece of gold. Yet, he taught us the gold standard for how to treat others. I wonder though, is the Golden Rule still in fashion?” -Rev. Dr. Tom Kort…
