  • The Divine Visitation

    It is better to be cleansed from the roots of evil than to be lead from the different forms of prisons that they build around us.

    On the second Sunday of Advent, Mark 1.1-8 calls our attention to the person of John the Baptist. John is a figure of confrontation. This confrontation is interior in nature. It has to do with our inner self. It is the greatest challenge of cleansing ourselves innerly. Tom was a quite boy. His ...read more

  • Mark 1:1-8 What Would John The Baptist Say To You

     | 70,806 views

    This is a time of the year for cliches and spiritual sappy-talk. John the Baptist offers a fresh perspective.

    Mark 1:1-8 WHAT WOULD JOHN THE BAPTIST SAY TO YOU? Sometimes, when you hear the same thing all the time, it starts to become less and less meaningful. For example, right now, at this time in the year, the newspaper, the TV, and the radio are all saying the same thing: “There is a special sale ...read more

  • A Good Place To Start

    based on 94 ratings
     | 13,939 views

    Second Sunday in Advent: The evangelist Mark starts with John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness. He seems to leave out Christmas. But perhaps, for us, it is a ’good place to start.’

    The Gospel Lesson today is one of the most interesting Advent / Christmas lessons in all of scripture. I say that because - did you notice that something seems to be missing? There is no mention of Christmas in this Gospel. Mark mentions neither the miraculous conception nor the birth of Jesus. And ...read more

    What it is to Prepare for the Incarnation and return of Christ

    Last week, we took a look at that which we are preparing for.

    Baptism of Our Lord B 12 January 2003 Mark 1:4-11, Genesis 1:1-5 Rev. Roger Haugen The Genesis reading is one of my favourites. You get a sense of this wonderful, foreboding mass of moving water.

     | 5,450 views

    There’s nothing wrong with being #2 as long Jesus is #1.

    So, What’s Wrong With Avis? To say John the Baptist was unique would be an understatement. He had taken a Nazirite vow. Now a Nazirite vow contained 3 main conditions: refrain from wine and other intoxicants, not allow a razor to touch one’s hair, and not go near a dead body -–not ...read more
