    The Rest Of The Story

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Mar 28, 2013
     | 7,131 views

    An Easter Sunday sermon about trusting in the eyewitness accounts of Jesus' resurrection and believing in the power of Christ's resurrection to change our lives.

    Today, Christians around the world celebrate the greatest event of the Christian faith and we believe the history of the human race; the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Now, this isn’t just about the resurrection of one man from the grave. What this event means is what is profound ...read more

    It Is Finished

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Mar 28, 2013
     | 6,834 views

    A sermon for Good Friday about Christ's trust in the Father and his victorious death on the cross.

    Just over 500 years ago, a thirty-three year-old artist was commissioned by the Vatican for the job of a lifetime. In 1508, Michelangelo climbed up onto a piece of scaffolding, laid down on his back, and began painting scenes from the Bible. The result, as many of us know today, were some of the ...read more

    Today You Will Be With Me In Paradise

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Mar 20, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,654 views

    Jesus' words to the criminal on the cross reveal to us the redeeming work of Christ on a cross in order that we might enter God's presence (paradise). And the fact that the first person Jesus invites into paradise is a hardened criminal reminds us that Je

    Today, we observe Palm Sunday. On this day, we remember Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem. You all remember the story, right? Jesus has spent three years traveling around the Galilean countryside, preaching to the people, teaching them, eating and drinking with them, and healing them. ...read more

    My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Mar 20, 2013
     | 10,532 views

    When things are not going well for us, we often become angry and frustrated with God. We can take comfort in knowing that even our Savior, God's own son, felt forsaken as he hung on the cross. And we can learn from his example--to cry out to God when we n

    Several years ago, when Mary Ellen was much younger, not in school yet, she and Ken were getting ready one morning. Mary Ellen, as she does even today, was lagging behind, and it got to the point where Ken was waiting for her at the door. It was passed time for them to go, and Ken called out, ...read more

    I Am Thirsty

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Mar 6, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 26,566 views

    Hanging on the cross, Jesus' declaration of thirst shows us not only his full humanity, but the full extent of his suffering, and it beckons us to follow in this way of suffering self-denial.

    “I’m thirsty!” How many times have we heard that? Children run in after playing outside, “I’m thirsty!” Athletes run off the field after a hard-fought game; “I’m thirsty,” they say to the trainers. Runners approach the halfway mark of a ...read more

    Here Is Your Son...here Is Your Mother

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Feb 27, 2013
     | 9,356 views

    Through his life, Christ draws together his followers as a single family. We must understand our role as family to look past the things that divide us and to work together serving Christ in the world.

    By relative standards, I’m still considered a newlywed, even though Ken and I have been married about two and a half years now. Whether you consider that really newlywed or not, it’s still new enough to merit the question every now and again from a friend, “So how’s married ...read more

    Do Not Weep For Me

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Feb 27, 2013
     | 6,743 views

    Jesus offers to us freedom from our suffering, if only we will accept that gift. The hour is late, but not too late.

    Before I was born, my grandfather had one of his kidneys removed because of cancer. The cancer was in remission for 18 years before it returned in a bone in his arm in 1995. The doctors scrapped out a big chunk of the bone and replaced it with a metal plate. And then they waited. Not too long after ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,147 views

    An Ash Wednesday sermon about the importance of repentance, and our need for God's forgiveness in Jesus Christ.

    Have you ever been with someone as they approached death? Though it is sometimes difficult, people will often speak in their final days or hours. They may simply be expressing a need, “May I have a drink?” or “could you please move my pillow?” Sometimes the words will ...read more

    Changing The Story

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Feb 6, 2013
     | 6,096 views

    We have to remember that we love only because Jesus first loved us. And as followers of Jesus Christ, we are to respond to others in the same way God has responded to us. We have to change the story, re-write history, shock people.

    I have noticed in recent years a growing lack of any “shock value” in our society. It’s obvious in movies, TV shows, video games, sports, and even the way we talk. To be a millionaire means very little these days; it’s more impressive to be a billionaire. Video games are no ...read more

    Dare We Speak?

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jan 30, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,800 views

    As Christians, God has called us to live different lives, to follow different paths, and part of that means boldly and faithfully speaking out against the wrongs of this world.

    There are certain events in life where time seems to stand still. They often leave a particular image ingrained in our minds for all time. These are moments that divide time: what was before is changed and is no more. On the national level, Americans experience September 11, 2001, like that. As we ...read more

    Prupose

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jan 30, 2013
     | 5,460 views

    Each of us has a purpose; a vision that offers not only direction, but ultimately true life. And this vision comes directly from Jesus.

    This week, President Obama was inaugurated for his second term in office. As is tradition, on the day after the inauguration, an Inaugural Prayer Service was held on Tuesday morning at the Washington National Cathedral. The preacher at this year’s service was the Reverend Adam Hamilton, who ...read more

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jan 10, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,012 views

    Because we are claimed by God, we can know that we are loved, even when it seems we are lost and alone.

    A new student looks out on a sea of strange faces in the high school cafeteria, wondering where he should sit, which group he should join, how he will be received. A woman walks down the hall in her empty house to look at her daughter’s bedroom. The bedroom contains pictures and souvenirs of ...read more

    Searching For The Obvious

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jan 2, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,119 views

    It's easy for us to lose sight of Jesus, but in faith, we will always know his presence with us.

    Several years ago the Journal of the American Medical Association published an article on the Stages of Aging. In the article, the doctor described a case study he had presented to his students when teaching a class in medical school. He described the case study patient under his care like ...read more

    By A Different Road

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Dec 20, 2012
    based on 7 ratings
     | 12,864 views

    On Epiphany, we celebrate the Magi’s visit to see Jesus, and note how they were transformed by their experience of the Christ child. As we start a new year, let’s resolve to make things different; to live a life transformed by Jesus.

    I suspect that nearly every one of us has a nativity scene, or crèche displayed somewhere around the house during the Christmas season. And if your crèches are anything like mine, they include Mary and Joseph, shepherds, plenty of animals, three wise men, and of course, the baby Jesus. Of course, ...read more

    A Different Wish List

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Dec 18, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,292 views

    What do you give Jesus on his birthday? Christmas is Jesus’ birthday, and Jesus made it clear that we give to him by giving to others--feeding the poor, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and imprisoned.

    I don’t know about you all, but when I was a little girl, I always looked forward to the day when the Sears and JCPenney Christmas catalogues came in the mail. The first moment I had some free time, I would get out a pen and some paper, I would turn to the toy section, and I would flip page ...read more
