    The theme of this funeral homily is that in the midst of death we as Christian Disciples do not loose our courage, our hope, our faith, or our joy because we know Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us but will always take care of us.

    Be Not Dismayed, A Funeral Homily --I Samuel 17:1-11, 46-47; Deuteronomy 31:7-8; Isaiah 41:10; John 14:18 We have heard the reading of our primary text for the funeral homily for our departed sister Barbara Jean Bluff, and perhaps many of you are wondering “How does the story of David’s battle ...read more

    Idea is from Max Lucado’s book of the same title. This series helps us face those who try to stop us in our walk with God.

    Facing Your Giants 1 Samuel 17:40-51 A slender, young, beardless boy knelt beside the brook. He was picking his weapon to face his giant. He could have spent the time staring at his reflection, probably tanned skin from those days in the field with his fathers’ flocks. Hair bleached by the sun, ...read more

    David and Saul faced the same giant obstacle to leadership, but only David revealed Biblical manhood.

    Living victoriously has much in common with David’s victory over Goliath. The shepherd didn’t act in faith that hadn’t already been tested; he acted according to his consistent experience with God.

    When I was young, I was a huge fan of the Walt Disney version of Zorro. I loved the idea of a person who would dress up in a costume, ride a beautiful horse, and cross swords triumphantly with the forces of injustice and oppression—though I would have defined those forces merely as “the bad guys” ...read more
