    A sermon for Palm Sunday.

    "The Shouting Stones" Luke 19:28-40 There are some very interesting details in this story. It's important to read the Scriptures carefully or else we might miss something--or lots of things.

    Where do you "fit in" to the parable of the Prodigal Son"?

    "Scandalous Grace" Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 What are we to make of this parable? I think that this parable is the parable that most shows what God is trying to reveal to us in sending Jesus into the world. In the story Jesus tells, the younger son goes off with his inheritance and blows the whole ...read more

    The world emphasizes the importance of putting yourself first, and being the greatest. Jesus' disciples argued about who among them was the greatest, the most loved, the most important.

    The Greatest of the Kingdom Mark 9:30-37 As they walk along, Jesus tells the disciples what to expect in the coming days. He says, "The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, & they will kill him; & when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again" (Mark 9:31). Now, ...read more

    The more excellent way

    LOVE IS OF GOD Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver’s Travels, once said, “We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.” Why is love so terribly difficult for us sometimes? Aren’t we followers of a God who is Himself love? Surely ...read more

    Wearing the garment of Christ

    DRESSED IN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE We owe a great deal of our modern phrases or figures of speech to two sources; Scripture and Shakespeare.
