  • What Is This Thing Called Love?

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 26, 2023
     | 1,542 views

    What is love, that we should know when we have it? Is love a feeling? a right? an instinct? What is love?

    Some enchanted evening you will meet a stranger across a crowded room. Neither of you has a clue what the other is like. But your heart rate goes up and your imagination goes into overdrive and, well, you know how it goes, right? Happily ever after is just around the corner. Is this love? On her ...read more

  • Downwardly Mobile

     | 812 views

    Jesus isn’t saying that ambition is a bad thing, or that they/we shouldn’t aspire to be great. He’s telling them/us that true greatness is something else.

    Ann Henderson came home from her doctor’s appointment looking much the same as usual. Maybe she was a little quieter, but not enough to cause comment. The whole family was home for dinner that night, for once. She was grateful. She would only have to say it once. She waited for a moment when nobody ...read more

  • Your Money Or Your Life?

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 25, 2023
     | 1,185 views

    Jesus asks us to hold ALL of God’s gifts lightly, to be ready to give them up, if necessary, to follow him. But it’s hard. And the more you have, the harder it is.

    Do any of you remember the story of the poor fisherman and his wife, who caught a magic fish, who granted them 3 wishes? Or Aladdin and his wonderful lamp (not the Disney version)? Or all the other fairy tales involving magic and wishes and unexpected consequences? When I was young I used to spend ...read more

     | 705 views

    Somos llamados a acompañar al que sufre

    Por la gracia del Señor, he sido pastor por 26 años y he tenido el privilegio de estar en momentos muy alegres en la vida de muchas personas. He compartido los momentos de alegría que se experimentan en una boda, en un nacimiento, en un regreso a casa después de estar muchos ...read more

  • Sticking Together

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 22, 2023
     | 914 views

    Without God, the covenant of marriage is no more than a contract. But with his help, marriage can grow into what God designed it to be at creation.

    When I was a freshman in college, at George Washington U in Washington DC, I worked in the reference library re-shelving books three afternoons a week. One afternoon in late spring I heard a sort of a distant bell-ringing sound, but didn’t really pay any attention to it, until I noticed that half ...read more

  • Cut It Out

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 21, 2023

     | 1,350 views

    We are always trying to blame our sin on something else - on someone else, on society, on circumstances. But Jesus says that what makes us sin is part of ourselves.

    I stopped watching TV news three or four years ago. But you have to know what's going on, somehow, so there are a few sources I've come to trust. But guess what? They're just as depressing as TV news. Because what is actually happening is worse than what you might imagine if you stayed ...read more

  • Weeds And Seeds

     | 2,116 views

    God reserves the right to judge between weeds and seeds.

    Weeds and Seeds – Matthew 13: 24-30 Intro: Gloria thought of herself as a good Christian mother. One day she allowed her son, Timmy to play in the back yard of their home. Afterall, it was fenced on all sides and nothing could really hurt him. When Gloria went outside to the backyard to take ...read more

  • Stumbing Along

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 19, 2023
     | 1,075 views

    Unexamined assumptions can cause us to stumble over things we don't even notice.

    It’s a little disconcerting, sitting down to write a sermon on a passage that you’ve already preached on twice, to find that neither time did you say what you’d planned to say. Of course, only preachers have that problem... Maybe only 60-something preachers have that problem. But more generally, ...read more

  • Hearing Problems

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 19, 2023
     | 918 views

    Are we afraid to ask what Jesus has in store for us, of what our future following him might look like?

    This was a very difficult sermon to prepare because this passage doesn’t really apply to you, at least not the way most preachers spin it. I can just hear the disciples arguing over who’s the greatest, can’t you? like a bunch of little boys bragging in the playground at recess, or kids ...read more

  • Attitude Adjustment

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 18, 2023
     | 1,603 views

    How do you react when God seems to be unfair? Do you react with anger and impatience? Or do you persevere, with humility and trust?

    “Master, help me!” she cried, bursting past the astonished householder and throwing herself before the weary traveler. “I couldn’t stop her, Rabbi,” said his host, “shall I throw her out?” Jesus motioned him to be silent. The woman knelt before him in an attitude of utter desperation. “What do you ...read more

  • Cleaning Services

     | 986 views

    We have been forgiven in Christ for the sins that we have committed and confessed. But the underlying condition out of which these sins arise - what’s to be done about that?

    “Out, damned spot!” may be one of the most widely recognized lines Shakespeare ever wrote. I wonder why? In a more innocent age it might have been for the forbidden thrill of saying “damn.” But of course that doesn’t apply any more, does it. It’s one of the milder epithets available. If that’s the ...read more

  • There’s Always More

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 15, 2023
     | 1,659 views

    Even when we feel drained physically and financially, we still need to offer what resources we do have - and in so doing, find that we can do more than we thought.

    I have a lot of fellow feeling for the disciples in today’s story. I expect all of us who have put so much time and effort into VBS do, too. It’s done! We can put our feet up and have something to eat, talk about how everything went, see how well we did, maybe get a stroke or two for the old ego. ...read more

    In Daniel 5:1-31, we see what happens when God crashes a party.

    Introduction What would happen if someone gave a party—and God crashed it? In the first verses of Daniel chapter 5, we find a description of a rather wild party thrown by a king named Belshazzar. Then we are told how his party was crashed. Right in the middle of the party, at what was probably ...read more

     | 1,051 views

    Casting the seed of the gospel is essential for modern followers of Christ Jesus.

    Sowing Seeds – Matthew 13: 1 - 9 Intro: One evening during a reception Franklin Roosevelt decided he would conduct an experiment to see if anyone really paid attention to what he said. As each person passed down the receiving line shaking his hand Roosevelt ...read more

  • Struggling

     | 1,279 views

    Christ Jesus will share our burdens and help us carry the loads of life.

    Struggling – Matthew 11: 16- 30 Intro: Have you ever tried to tighten a screw with one of these (a butter knife)? It can be done; but, it is much easier to do it with the right one of these (a screw driver – 2 types: regular and fillips). It is even easier with ...read more
