    The Angels' Chorus Series

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Dec 21, 2014
     | 4,318 views

    The angels share "good news" with the lowly shepherds near Bethlehem, and Christ's birth continues to be good news for all people everywhere!

    Perhaps some of you have seen that wonderful play, The Greatest Christmas Pageant Ever. In the play, the appropriately named Herdman family, full of rowdy children, hi-jack a children’s Christmas pageant, taking all the choice roles by intimidation and force. Needless to say, those Herdman ...read more

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Dec 16, 2014
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,133 views

    This world is full of darkness and sadness, which is why we need Christmas. As Zechariah proclaims, Christmas is when God's light breaks into the world in Jesus Christ and sets the stage for a whole new world.

    You know, it’s been kind of a tough week, hasn’t it? Monday morning, the big news around the globe was a massive hostage situation in a coffee shop in Australia. By Monday evening, we were getting word that a man in Pennsylvania had shot and killed five people and was on the run. ...read more

    Mary's Song Of Praise Series

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Dec 10, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,082 views

    As Mary sings her song of praise, we learn of the ways that the coming Messiah will "turn the world upside-down."

    “If you’re happy and you know it…” (Clap your hands!) “If you’re happy and you know it…” (Stomp your feet, shout “Amen!” etc.) We’re all familiar with that song, and certainly it conveys a lot of the ways that we express our joy when ...read more

    Ave Maria Series

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Dec 3, 2014
     | 5,686 views

    In light of the Ave Maria (Hail Mary), this sermon explore the graces and blessedness embodied in Mary, and the implication of the same such grace and blessing in our own lives.

    Avé María, grátia pléna, Dóminus técum. Benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus frúctus véntris túi, Iésus. Sáncta María, Máter Déi, óra pro nóbis peccatóribus, nunc et in hóra mórtis nóstrae. Ámen. We are familiar with these words of “Ave Maria,” most likely because of Franz ...read more

    O Come, O Come, Emmanuel Series

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Dec 3, 2014
     | 7,698 views

    Christmas is not about us, it is about Emmanuel, God with us. What sorts of preparations are you making this year? Are you preparing like the rest of the world, or are you preparing to welcome Christ?

    I hope you all had a wonderful and joy-filled Thanksgiving holiday. I know I certainly enjoyed time with my family. We did all the usual Thanksgiving stuff. We ate too much food, watched some football, played some games, and then ate too many leftovers. And then, the next day, we got up, ate too ...read more

    Checking Our Vitals

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Nov 19, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,031 views

    Christ has left us pretty clear instructions about how he expects us to conduct our lives. Are we healthy, or are we hurting?

    I’m going to pretend like I’m a doctor for a minute and ask a question. How many of us have been for an annual physical in the last year? This is a relatively routine question, isn’t it? Our primary care physicians hound us with this question every year. For those of us in the ...read more

    Living In The Kingdom Now!

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Nov 12, 2014
     | 5,886 views

    The life of a faithful disciple is not about making a profession of faith and then waiting for the good life after death. We have to make the "good life" now, as we live in God's Kingdom everyday!

    We live in an extremely fast-paced world. Chattanooga is now known as “Gig City” because with the new fiber optics infrastructure, many of us measure internet speeds in gigabytes per second, as opposed to the more common, and notably slower, megabytes per second. We have instant ...read more

     | 6,104 views

    A sermon for All Saints' Sunday.

    Let’s see…just this week, I have gotten angry at my husband and at some of my co-workers. I have used a cuss word, or two. I have passed judgment on our political leaders and their handling of the problem of ebola. I have stolen a candy bar, or two, or three out of Mary Ellen’s ...read more

    The Greatest Challenge

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Oct 22, 2014
     | 3,903 views

    Like the Jewish people, there are many "laws" that govern our lives. But the one law that reveals the true nature of God and follows the way of the Messiah is the greatest law of all, even though it is also an extreme challenge.

    The big news out of England these days is that Prince William and his wife, Kate, are expecting another child. Currently, Prince William is second in line to the throne, behind his father, Charles. Third in line is William and Kate’s first son, George. And the child-to-come will be fourth in ...read more

    Bearing The Image Of...

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Oct 15, 2014
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,906 views

    The way we direct our lives says everything about our greatest allegiance(s), and thus we bear the image or the imprint of those allegiances.

    About seven or eight years ago, my Dad decided he was going to sell the boat that he and my mother had bought for our family when my sister and I were teenagers. My family spent many wonderful weekends out on the lake, skiing, tubing, swimming, and just generally having fun. But with my sister and ...read more

    A Changed Life

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Oct 7, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,274 views

    God's gift of grace is generously showered upon all, but if we do not receive that grace and allow it to change us, we can miss out on the abundant life of salvation.

    Let me begin by acknowledging what we are all thinking…we don’t like this parable. This is one teaching from Jesus that we would rather just skip right over; and we often do! We like to hear about how much God loves us, and about how Jesus died for our sins. We like to be affirmed that ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,871 views

    A Sermon for World Communion Sunday.

    How many of you used to be small? (That should be just about everybody, right?) And how many of you felt like life wasn’t fair because you couldn’t do everything the “big kids” did, and you certainly didn’t have all the privileges and freedoms that accompany adulthood. ...read more

    Grumbling And Complaining

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Sep 24, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 16,706 views

    When we are frustrated with life, we wonder where God is. When no answer comes, we begin to grumble & complain against God & one another. Still, God stands always in our midst & gives us all that we need. Perhaps we need to learn better to trust in God?

    On a regular basis, we gather here to fellowship with one another, to pray together, to study and learn together, and to worship as one body. Part of our covenant as a gathering of Christian believers is to journey together as disciples of Jesus Christ. This can mean a lot of things: it means we ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,375 views

    A sermon about the necessity and importance of forgiveness.

    “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Have you ever given much thought to that line from the Lord’s Prayer? “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” I think it’s fair to say that most of the time, ...read more

    Fed Up

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Aug 20, 2014
     | 5,003 views

    Serving others sacrificially and with compassion is the most important call in the Christian life, and it's more important that we heed that call, even when we may not feel like it, or believe we don't have the necessary resources.

    This is a really busy time of year for everyone. Peak vacation season is quickly drawing to a close. The kids have headed back to school and are getting into that homework routine again. Extracurricular activities are kicking off. There are lots of Fall events to plan for. And all of us are left to ...read more
