    There is only one way to the home everyone longs for, whether they know it or not

    I’m starting this sermon with a really old illustration because things have gotten so much worse that to introduce it with a contemporary example would take more than one sermon to adequately address it. So think yourself back a couple of decades, to 2002. That’s when football coach Ron Brown was ...read more

  • What Is This Thing Called Love?

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on May 8, 2023
     | 749 views

    Love for God must always come before love for any earthly object of our affection.

    Everybody knows what love is, right? Love is what makes you sit up all night assembling the bicycle for your daughter’s birthday, or leave the board meeting early to make it to your son’s soccer game. Is that the same thing as the love that makes your mouth go dry and your heart beat fast when ...read more

  • Gardening Tips

    Is doing good things without reference to God any more acceptable than worshiping God without loving your neighbor?

    How many of you are gardeners? What do you plant, vegetables, flowers, herbs? My father liked trees. He planted exotics like deodars and tapped our maple trees for syrup. My mother liked flowers and shrubs. And BOTH liked vegetable gardens. But I never got into it. I like the idea of gardening, you ...read more

    If we follow the true shepherd, its better to be a sheep in God’s pasture than anything else in the world.

    Just about everybody knows, I think, that one of the reasons God so often calls his people sheep and himself the shepherd is because sheep are so stupid. What I don’t think people realize is that sheep were also incredibly valuable. Sheep were one of Israel’s most important economic resources. A ...read more

  • This Way Out

    We are imprisoned by sin in exactly the same way that we are imprisoned by gravity. We are prisoners of our own humanity, and it’s a life sentence with no time off for good behavior.

    When I was 12, I went on vacation with my family to a place called Iguazu Falls. Not many people in this country have ever heard of it. It’s only the second biggest waterfall in the world, after Niagara. It’s only the second highest waterfall in the world, after Victoria Falls. It’s at the top NE ...read more

    What do you want healed? If you stand up and walk, Jesus will guide you into the healing that is already planned and waiting for you.

    People have been looking for quick fixes for what ails them since the beginning of time. Every time someone announces a new discovery, hundreds and thousands of people go chasing after the magic potion, the pot of gold, the secret formula that will make all their dreams come true. When Columbus ...read more

  • Running Water

    Physical solutions don't solve spiritual problems. If God doesn't answer your prayer, could it be that he is waiting for you to be open to a deeper gift?

    I heard a marvelous story the other day... One day a wise man was out walking when it started to rain. He began to run, to try to stay ahead of the drops. An onlooker asked him, after the wise man had gotten to shelter, why he had run, it didn’t look wise to the observer. And the answer came, “I ...read more

  • Labor Of Love

     | 850 views

    Whenever and wherever we are doing God’s work, we are on holy ground. Wherever we find ourselves, we can make it holy by being God’s representative in that place.

    I know this isn’t Labor Day weekend. But it’s too important a topic to skip. It’s big in the news these days, what with unemployment still above 6%. We all know people who are looking for work - and have been for more than 6 months. But hey - work isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, right? How many ...read more

    Why leave John the Baptizer and go follow the Galillean Rabbi Jesus instead?

    Sam was confused. He had been following John for - how long had it been? Almost a year, he thought, it was just before the grape harvest and his parents had been really upset that he hadn’t stayed until the work was finished. But Sam just had to go. The Messiah was due soon, everybody knew it, and ...read more

  • The Right Fork

    One of the most important choicces we can make includes how we respond when it comes to our own personal suffering.

    One way to look at life is as a series of choices... Every day we choose, some have small consequences, some large. But each one means an opportunity not taken, a chance missed, a road not taken. Robert Frost”s famous poem talks of the consequences Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the ...read more

  • Estate Planning

    When you know you’ll have to depend on your friends when your luck goes sour, you build in as much good will as you can along the way.”

    Levi was puzzled. The last time Jesus told a story about a rich man whose steward was mismanaging the estate while the owner was away, the owner kicked the guy out and brought in a new men. He understood that. It was like God was the rich man and the Pharisees and the priests were the stewards, and ...read more

    Yeshua was saying, “Don’t be upset because I’m not what you expected. You’ve got my credentials. Now trust me for the rest of it.”

    Zach was tired. He had been coming down to Tiberias every week for almost two months, bringing news and food to John in prison, and it looked like he’d probably be doing it for the rest of the year. Nothing had changed. After Herod arrested John for publicly accusing him of incest and adultery, ...read more

    We aren’t freed FROM the Sabbath, we’re freed BY the Sabbath.

    Leah didn’t know why she kept coming to the synagogue. She counted the days up in her head... every 7 days for eighteen years, it had to be at least 400 times, she thought. At first people were sorry for her, and someone would take her arm to help her up the steps to section reserved for the women. ...read more

  • Empty Calories

    You are already hungry since I fed you yesterday. If I fed you every day you’d still be hungry because it is not your body that is hungry but your soul.

    What do you suppose the crowd was thinking, there on the Sea of Galilee, that spring afternoon? They had been following him, watching him heal sick people, hearing him teach, wondering and speculating. A few would drop out, having seen enough, but they’d quickly get replaced by others. Close-knit ...read more

    We have the world’s best product, Do you have a marketing plan?

    My least favorite course back when I was working on my MBA at the U of MN was marketing. I never could figure out how to position a product so that it would sell. The question was always, should I make it upscale and sell it to fewer people at a higher price, or should I mass market something in ...read more
