    An Easter sermon about the great gift of Christ's death and resurrection, of which we are the blessed recipients!

    Christ is risen! Christ is risen! Christ is risen! I don’t think there are three words in the history of the world that have had a greater impact than those. It is the Easter “mantra,” but it is also the encapsulation of the greatest story ever told; the greatest life ever lived, ...read more

    A Maundy Thursday sermon about the vast love of Christ, which, though hard to fully understand, we are called to share.

    I have in my office a beautiful needlepoint of the United Methodist cross and flame. It was a gift to me one Christmas a few years ago from a parishioner. The piece is not huge, it fits into a 5x7 frame, but I know the woman who did this needlepoint spent hours and hours weaving this beautiful ...read more

    A Palm Sunday sermon built from Jesus' teachings at the end of the Sermon on the Mount.

    We have spent the last several weeks, through our Lenten journey, listening to Jesus’ words as he preaches the Sermon on the Mount. This morning, as we observe Palm Sunday and Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, we come to the final portion of his great sermon. So as we hear these ...read more

    The world today nearly demands us to worry: about work, finances, education, etc. But Jesus directs us to a different way of life, which has the added benefit of being worry-free.

    (Holding up U.S. currency) "In God We Trust." "In God We Trust." So reads the slogan on every piece of United States currency. It seems awfully ironic, doesn't it? Every day we carry around in our wallets and our purses and our pockets pieces of money that say we trust in God. But when it comes ...read more

    Jesus calls us to be "salt and light" in the world, but that means living into a new righteousness that takes the "law" to a whole new level.

    There is this great Appalachian folk tale that follows the patterns of Shakespeare's "King Lear." The story goes something like this. A man goes to his three daughters with the question, "How much do you love me?" The older daughters immediately begin to fawn over their father, comparing their love ...read more

    True devotion to God does not require recognition, only the humble knowledge that we need to come before God in full and complete dedication.

    Today marks the halfway point in our Lenten journey. As we gather this morning on the third Sunday of Lent, I would like to begin by taking just a moment for us to be reminded of what Lent is all about. I want to do this not only because we are halfway through the Lenten season, but also because ...read more

    Jesus came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. However, fulfillment of the law requires complete love for others (even our enemy); only then are we complete/perfect.

    Just about a year ago, the movie 42 came out. It captures the story of Jackie Robinson, the first black baseball player to play in the major leagues. It’s a really great movie for all sorts of reasons, and if you haven’t seen it, then I recommend you do, if for no other reason than the ...read more

     | 8,633 views

    The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus' greatest teaching about discipleship, and the Beatitudes strike at the heart of this sermon, teaching us that blessing is found in pursuit of God's righteousness.

    Over the past several weeks, there’s been an oft-referenced blog floating around the so-called blogosphere. The title of the blog is “The One Thing Christians Should Stop Saying,” and it is written by Scott Dannemiller. I want to share part of his blog with you because speaks very ...read more

    Many point to Paul's writings as defense for excluding women from church leadership. However, when we look at Paul's story, what we see is that he was a collaborative leader who relied heavily on the work of women for the sake of the Gospel of Christ!

    Several years ago, there was a woman who won the jackpot in the Powerball lottery. Let’s just call her Phoebe. Phoebe was exactly the kind of person you’d hope would win the lottery. Raised in a modest family, she was widowed. Her husband died of lung cancer just a few months before ...read more

    Rejection is something we all deal with, but when it comes to our dealings with the God of all grace, we need to know that with faith, there is nothing that can keep us from receiving God's touch of mercy.

    Not too long ago, the website Business Insider, published an article entitled, “7 Brutally Honest Rejection Letters.” Included in this article were rejection letters to a woman seeking employment in Disney’s creative department in 1938, author Gertrude Stein, and screenwriter Tim ...read more

     | 5,720 views

    Jesus has many interactions with the sisters, Mary and Martha, throughout his ministry. What we learn in looking at each of these encounters is that together, the sisters model complete discipleship, learning and living fully with Jesus.

    The sisters Mary and Martha make multiple appearances in the gospels, particularly John’s gospel. And in each passage, as they interact with Jesus, we learn something new about them. The dinner recounted in this passage immediately followed the raising of Mary and Martha’s brother, ...read more

    The Samaritan woman at the well was an unlikely candidate to become one of Jesus' first evangelists, yet that's exactly what she was. Jesus extended grace to the Samaritan woman, which changed her. How could she help but share the good news!

    This morning, we sit down at the “foot” of Jacob’s Well. This passage from John about Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well just outside of Sychar is rich with messages and lessons for all who seek Jesus. One commentator reflected that this is “a text ...read more

    God has claimed each of us, and like Jesus, God calls us to be a light shining in the darkness of this world.

    As you all are aware, in this part of the world, we recognize four relatively distinct seasons each year; there is winter, spring, summer, and fall. Of course, each season has its characteristic traits related to the weather or the blossoming of certain plants or the coming or going of foliage. And ...read more

    As you all are mostly aware, I believe, I was a member of the school band all through Junior High, High School, and college. I also played basketball a couple of years for my Junior High team, but I ultimately had to choose between basketball and band because I didn’t have time to do both. In ...read more
