    True Value -- B Version

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Aug 4, 2010
     | 3,093 views

    God in God's love became incarnate in Jesus Christ, stepping to our "side of the tracks." God in Jesus Christ walks among as us to seek and to save the lost, and he is never going to give up that search on us, or on anyone else!

    When I was in elementary school, sometime before my tenth birthday, my grandparents gave to my sister and I each a diamond necklace. Now, these diamond necklaces were nothing fancy; a simple gold chain with a diamond solitaire setting hanging on it. But they were beautiful, and they were special. ...read more

    The Great Equalizer -- B Version

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jul 29, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,781 views

    At the Table of our Lord we find invitation, welcome, acceptance, renewal, and above all love! At the Table, we remember that Christ loves us and that we are "worthwhile"!

    I have been generously blessed in my thirty years of life. Like so many of you, I can point to different things along the way that were particularly important to me, and perhaps still are, even if I didn’t realize it at the time. One such blessing in my life was the regular evening meals in the ...read more

    The Great Equalizer

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jul 27, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,638 views

    Our experience at shared meals and Christ's stories of common suppers remind us of our call to radical hospitality; our call to invite and welcome all at the Lord's Table!

    I have been generously blessed in my thirty years of life.

    If You Don't Ask, The Answer Is "No!"

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jul 26, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,921 views

    Through the Lord's Prayer and the parable and teachings that follow, Jesus teaches us not only how we should pray, but about the nature of the One to whom we pray. Jesus assures us that God answers prayer!

    “She’s like a kid in a candy store!” You all have heard this expression before, right? When we say that someone is “like a kid in a candy store,” we are saying that person is exhibiting a complete, unguarded, total excitement about some experience. I believe you know ...read more

    It’s Not Supposed To Be That Way

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jul 14, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,470 views

    Following God’s will means going to unexpected places and doing unexpected things. But if we are willing to follow Christ’s boundary-breaking call, Christ will meet us there, and he will prepare us to serve!

    Much like the lawyer’s question and the parable of the Good Samaritan last week, this story of Mary and Martha I’m sure is quite familiar to many of us. This scene of Mary and Martha hosting Jesus in their home in Bethany has gained much popularity among Christians in our modern, very busy world. ...read more

    More Than A 'honey-Do'

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,437 views

    Love is more than a feeling, it is an action undertaken for the well-being of someone else, no matter who, over and above our own needs!

    Just a few years ago, an astonishing thing happened in New York City. A construction worker named Wesley Autrey was standing on a subway platform with his two young daughters waiting on a train. Suddenly another man on the platform, apparently suffering from a seizure, stumbled and fell off the ...read more

    The Task Force

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jun 30, 2010
     | 5,938 views

    Christ has called us into a great and important work. Together we are God's task force, spreading the message of God's Kingdom in the world today!

    “To have heard God’s word is a great responsibility.” To have heard God’s word is a great responsibility! The idea here is not unlike that famous advice from Spiderman, “With great privilege comes great responsibility.” Because we know God’s word, because ...read more

    A Party Of One

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jun 23, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,326 views

    We are all one in Christ Jesus, and as a unified body, we are empowered to fulfill our responsibilities as the children of God!

    As a child, my sister and I spent many of our days (and some evenings too) under the watchful care of a babysitter. I still remember those babysitters well. The first one was Mimi, who took care of us every weekday until we started preschool. She would often watch us in the afternoons after ...read more

    Outside The Box

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jun 19, 2010
     | 6,095 views

    We are God’s chosen vessels, and as such, we need simply to live our day-to-day lives in such a way that we love and honor one another and God above all else.

    You have all probably heard the current buzz phrase, “thinking outside the box.” If you use the phrase the same way I do, then it refers to something like abstract thinking – an imagining and inventing process that forces us to think beyond the mold in which we currently operate. ...read more

    A Christian Community Series

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jun 10, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,146 views

    There is much that is required of us to be an authentic Christian community, and the glue that holds it all together is love.

    Are there any of you out there who grew up on Lincoln Logs? Though I loved Lincoln Logs, I somehow managed to make it through my childhood without ever having a set of my own. I always played with my cousin’s or my friend’s Lincoln Logs. I had Legos of my own, but I really like the ...read more

    The Church With Open Doors Series

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jun 3, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,505 views

    Christ loves us unconditionally, and we the church are called by Christ to share that same love in the world today.

    What would our church look like if Jesus were the pastor? Would it be exactly like it is here today? Would we even be here at all, or would we be gathering in a different place? How would we spend our time and our resources as part of the church? How might Grace be different if it was Jesus ...read more

    What If Church Were A Verb? Series

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on May 27, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,113 views

    In order to shine brightly for Christ, we have to gather at church to be renewed and recharged as the church, we are also made to be out in the world working as Christ's presence today!

    Despite all appearances and evidence to the contrary, I was not always a perfect young lady (ha); not even close, really. And one of the phrases that sometimes got tossed in my direction in those less-than-perfect moments as a child was, “Act your age!” Now, it was never the case that I ...read more

    A Spirit-Filled Revelry

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on May 20, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,898 views

    At Pentecost we celebrate the love and faithfulness of our sovereign God, and we also celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit, which empowers us to share the good news of God's love with others!

    Pentecost is a kind of funny word. And when we hear this word, there’s probably a variety of different images that come to mind. Our eyes fill with the red blaze of fire. We might think of a crowd of people packed together like sardines. Or maybe what we see is the image of flames falling ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,223 views

    Christ's gift of the Holy Spirit will bring us to a full and complete peace if we are attentive to the movement of the Spirit within our lives.

    “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.” Since the beginning of time, humanity has craved peace! Peace of mind, peace of heart, peace among the nations. And this is ...read more

    Our Life Together

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Apr 29, 2010
    based on 9 ratings
     | 5,974 views

    Following Jesus' command to love one another as he loves us is no easy task, and it will take us to the most unexpected and undesirable places. But it will open up the abundance of life offered through Christ.

    “Love one another.” It is the simplest, clearest, and hardest command of all. It’s sort of like telling an eight-year old boy to listen. It seems like an easy enough instruction, but for an eight-year old boy, listening is about the hardest thing to do, except maybe to sit still. ...read more
