Recent Sermons

Good sermons are worth hearing again, great sermons contain universal truths that encourage study and thought. And for those of you who missed a sermon, here's a chance to catch up on what was said by Rev. Ruth Merriam.

There are two columns of sermons: the one on the left is a chronological listing of sermons of the past three months; the columns on the right list the memorable or most listened to sermons of recent memory.

Our sermons are now publishing as YouTube videos - embedded in our homepage each week and then linked from this page to YouTube the following week. Our YouTube address is: http://www.youtube.com/capechurch
