     | 6,665 views

    Many people find it difficult to understand why Jesus Christ dying an undeserved and cruel death on a cross can have any effect on their own lives. In fact until we understand two fundamental truths - the extent of God’s love and our need for forgiveness

    Who is Love and Justice? The cross is central to the Christian message. Some churches display a cross, some people wear a cross as a fashion accessory. In this session we are going to examine the real meaning of the cross of Jesus Christ. Many people find it difficult to understand why Jesus ...read more

    The Celtic Church was a missionary movement, combining evangelism and social change.

    Celtic Spirituality of Mission and Service I remember one of the first sessions that we had on Celtic Spirituality, one of you asked me if the Celtic Christians lived a fairly quiet Christian life, not “pushing” their faith on the cultures around them. It was a question that had a definite bias ...read more

    God shares his fellowship with us, enabling us to share our lives together.

    Scripture Introduction One of the changes in our world in the last generation or so is a loss of security. Expectations for what life offers have risen exponentially; fulfillments have disappointed. Cell phones are a simple example: the promise a connectedness everywhere available and never ...read more

    This sermon reminds us of the importance of confessing our sins to God and to each other.

    Last week we looked at the message that was given to the women who came to the empty tomb after Jesus had risen from the dead. We looked at the implications of the empty tomb, the fulfilled promises, and the command to go and tell. Today, I want to continue the conversation about the implications ...read more

    Christmas Eve -The Power Of Belief

     | 4,525 views

    Its not WHAT I believe in, it is WHO I place my faith in. WHO I place my faith in is stronger, for Jesus is able to overcome what I am not able to overcome.

    Belief is a powerful thing. What I believe in makes me who I am, I am what I believe. What we believe molds us into who we are; What we believe colors our view of the world around us; What we believe motivates us to stand up for something or stand up against something. What we believe in may ...read more

    Every positive experience has its negative side. Jesus’ coming was threatening to many, and His birth foreshadows a cross. The light of Christ, however, will never be put out.

    Dr. Seuss knew that every Christmas has a Grinch. Every positive experience, it would seem, has a dark side, a negative side. Every Christmas has a Grinch to steal away its joy. Maybe you are one of those people, and there are quite a few of them, who just get tired of the whole murky business ...read more

    Christmas reveals to us that God knows us and our problem, He loves us because we are precious to Him, and He saves us because heaven is where we ought to belong.

    1 John 4:9-10 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Christmas was God’s idea. It has never been ...read more

    John's sacramental vision was translated into a church building with two centers--a center of the Word and a center of Eucharistic celebration

    Feast of St. John Dec 27 2010 Spirit of the Liturgy It is very appropriate to be preaching on the Spirit of the Liturgy on the Feast of St. John, because both the letters and the Gospel of John are so sacramental. One useful definition of sacrament is Christ touching us through sacred signs. Our ...read more
