     | 11,277 views

    There is a kind of death in family life today. Jesus offers unconditional compassion, used His authority to give life, and gives us as gifts to one another.

    One sweltering afternoon, on the dirty streets of a dangerous section of New Orleans, a man approached a woman with some papers in his hand. He asked Helen if she would agree to write letters to a man on death row at Angola prison. Helen agreed, rather absent-mindedly. She was used to people ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,731 views

    A series of exploding manhole covers in Washington is compared with the series of unexpected and disruptive events in Paul’s life. Surviving becomes a matter of one’s vision of where we have come from and where we are going.

    It all started in Georgetown. On M Street, in broad daylight, a manhole cover suddenly exploded into the air, flying six feet straight up and landing with a heavy clatter. There were no injuries, but there were fiery flames, an acrid smell, cars dodging one another, pedestrians pumping ...read more

    Spiritual indecision leads to sickness and ultimately to death. We are scared of taking risks. Black history shows us, however, that without accepting risk there is no progress.

    You should be a fly on the wall around our house on Friday evenings. You see, Friday evenings are our night for ourselves. We try not to take on church things on Fridays, and unless you are at the point of death, you can wait for your pastoral call until Saturday morning. The pastor and his ...read more

    Are we disobedient to God or do we follow him without question?

    As you can tell, our scripture readings today have a theme. You may have to think a bit, but it does help if you read the sermon title and also were listening during the children’s moments. Both our stories relate to fish: one to a big fish story and one to fishermen at their nets. There has ...read more

    Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3 should be the first thing we pray for each other and ourselves - that the Holy Spirit would strengthen and empower us to understand the vast extent of the love of Christ for us, and to know that love for ourselves.

    ASPIRATIONS One of the new phrases dotting the political landscape of late has been the one "aspirational voters".

    Bibliography: Culture Shifts, lesson 5 Our Bible story makes us feel uncomfortable. We are not really comfortable with it being in the Bible.
