    The only way back to God is through the way God has provided for us.

    This is the third Sunday in Lent. This forty days is traditionally a time of reflection and repentance, a time to acknowledge our own sinfulness and need for God’s grace. And traditionally, too, pastors temporarily drop whatever track they were on and preach a series of special sermons just for ...read more

  • Jesus Is King And Priest Series

    In Psalm 110:1-7, we learn about Jesus as king and priest.

    Introduction You may have noticed that this year I have done shorter series of sermons rather than a lengthy exposition of a book of the Bible. Sometimes, I think it is helpful to mix things up more quickly and look briefly at different parts of the Bible. Today, I would like to begin a five-week ...read more

  • Marching Orders

    The consistent, daily immersion in the presence of God, the daily immersion in the word of God, is what empowers us to follow Jesus Christ.

    Whenever I read any kind of history, but especially Biblical history, I often ask myself what it would have been like to live in those times, what it might have felt like to be there, done this, heard that. And you may have noticed that my sermons often come from that perspective: what was it like ...read more

  • More Than A Mother

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 3, 2023
     | 1,259 views

    No matter how deep the scars that life has left us with, the mother-love of God can restore the broken places and refill the empty places. There is nothing that we have lost that cannot be transformed or redeemed.

    Many of you met my sister Kathleen and her son Brian when they came down for my installation. Brian is the only child in our generation, my mother’s only grandchild. And that’s surprising because, of the two of us, Kathleen didn’t want children and I did. I was the one who played with dolls. I was ...read more

  • Spring Forward

    There’s a surprising freedom that comes from following God unto the unknown. Enjoy it.

    If you look back on the last 10 to 50 years the amount of change we have experienced in this country is pretty staggering, isn’t it. From propeller planes to space shuttles, from Ozzie and Harriet to Ozzie Osborne, from the Cold War to the War on Terror. But at least we’ve had the same government, ...read more

  • Out Of Control

     | 924 views

    Happy are we whose God is the maker of Heaven and Earth, because we do not have to bribe him to take care of us.

    Pete and Laura had been married 12 years, 7 months and 13 days when Pete told Laura he wanted a sex change operation. He told her that he had always felt that he was really a woman trapped in a man’s body, and that he could no longer go on living as a man. Laura couldn’t understand. How could she? ...read more

  • Looking For Comfort

     | 756 views

    God's coming does not depend on us. In fact, He has already come. And the only things we have to do to receive him are the same three things Isaiah told the people of Israel so long ago.

    I got a recording of the Messiah for my 20th birthday. That was the summer after I dropped out of my first college; I was living at home getting ready to go to my second one and trying to make some kind of sense out of my life. There was no way on earth I could make sense out of anybody else’s. ...read more

  • Blossom Time

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 30, 2023
     | 970 views

    Love and life are two sides of the same coin, that where love is life springs up, and life is a sign that love has been there.

    This week the flowers decorating the altar are poinsettias. Do you know why? Pepita was a poor Mexican girl who had no gift to present the Christ Child at Christmas Eve services. As she walked to the chapel with her cousin Pedro, her heart was filled with sadness rather than joy. “I am sure, ...read more

  • Between The Times

    It is possible to live praising God even before we see his promised redemption.

    At one point while preparing this sermon I was tempted just to read the article I picked for my closing illustration and sit down. It’s a sermon in itself, and illustrates exactly what I had to say about this passage of Isaiah. But after thinking it over, I felt that the least I could do was ...read more

  • Dancing With Wolves

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 30, 2023
     | 869 views

    The peace that Isaiah speaks of, the peace Jesus brings us, comes only when both the wolf and the lamb come at his call and obey his commands.

    Everybody wants peace. Well, almost everyone. We all know people who are never happier then when they’re in the middle of a crisis, and of course there are terrorists and other people who try to get what they want by violence. But even those would probably say that they too want peace. It’s just ...read more

  • Who Calls?

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 30, 2023
     | 880 views

    Hearing and answering God's call has four parts in two pairs. We need to recognize who God is, and who we are, and after being cleansed, we must respond.

    Do you ever screen your calls? By that I mean do you look to see who’s calling before you answer? I answer most of my calls right when they happen unless it’s tagged “scam likely” or I’m driving (I haven’t hooked up my Bluetooth yet) or if the phone is in the other room or if I accidentally left it ...read more

  • Grounds For Divorce

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 28, 2023
     | 819 views

    God’s love song to Israel turned into the opening argument in a divorce court. Don't let that happen to you.

    Lawsuits are very much in the news nowadays, especially in our nation’s capital. People are suing each other for every reason you can imagine, even over political and religious differences. You can’t keep track of who’s accusing whom of what without a score card, and even that has to be updated ...read more

  • Visions Of Sugar Plums

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 28, 2023
     | 720 views

    God has a role for his people to play, but it is not the role of conqueror, as most had expected. They will be influential in the world only by serving and witnessing to the nations.

    How many of you occasionally fantasize about winning the lottery? You can spend a lot of time making lists of worthy causes and deserving relatives and fabulous vacations and your dream house. In fact, most of us have dreams we play with when reality gets to be just a little too much for us. When I ...read more

  • Following The Crowd

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 26, 2023
     | 1,227 views

    The crowd in Jerusalem that day was made up of ordinary people, people like you, people like me.

    I wonder how many people in the crowd who shouted for Barabbas had also been in the crowd that shouted “Hosanna” a week before. Crowds had followed Jesus throughout his ministry. Crowds pushed their way into the little house in Capernaum so that the only way a paralyzed man could get to Jesus was ...read more

  • Give And Take

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 26, 2023
     | 1,233 views

    Givers trust in God, rather than in themselves; they are focused outward. Takers have not learned to trust in God and focus on their own needs.

    Anybody remember the televangelist scandals of the 80’s? Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Oral Roberts and his highly publicized plea for - what was it, $8 million? - to keep God from striking him dead. Remember the uproar in all the secular news media and the shame felt by so many evangelicals at being ...read more
