    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

    This sermon pleads with the lost to turn to Christ in faith and full commitment of their life to Him. It also deals with some truths concerning those who are mere "fans" of Christ rather than "followers" of Christ.

    It’s Time to Turn to the Lord Text: Isa. 55:6-7; Heb. 2:3-4 Intro: In the book of Ecclesiastes, we find these words, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” (Eccl. 3:1). According to one commentator, the meaning of this verse is as ...read more

    Time Spent In God's Word

    I wonder how much time each of you spend in God's Word each day. These numbers show a troubling imbalance in our lack of time spent in the Scripture and its damaging effect on our spiritual vitality.

    If we took a poll here in our church, I wonder how much time each of you spend in God's Word each day. Research shows that the average person is exposed to anywhere between 4,000 and 10,000 messages a day. You are probably thinking, "No way do I receive that many messages." But ...read more

    Hebrews 13 contains several life lessons we should have learned a long time ago, but need reminders on from time to time. From friends to marriage partners, Hebrews shows us what is really important.

    Hebrews 13:1-8 Things I Should Have Learned in Kindergarten Robert Fulghum wrote a popular book a while back entitled, “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.” I thought of that title when I read today’s scripture. It seems like a list of very important but mostly common sense ...read more

    Have you ever felt as if no one cared about you? Have you ever experienced that deep dark chasm of utter alone-ness? We are, indeed, our brother and sister’s keeper! And Jesus makes this fact very clear in our Gospel Lesson this morning.

    Luke 16:19-31 “It is Not My Problem” By: Rev. Ken Sauer, Pastor Of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN As a child, Alice Gahana survived two concentration camps during the Holocaust… …an amazing feat, indeed! Asked what she remembered most, she replied, ...read more

    we often wander off as sheep are want to do, but Jesus comes and finds us

    I assure you, he who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. The watchman opens the door for this man, and the sheep listen to his voice and heed it; and he calls his own sheep ...read more

    In one of the most important parables of the Book of Mark, Jesus teaches us to do three things with the Word of God: to hear it, accept it, and reproduce from it. The challenge for us is ... Are we obeying or disobeying this critical command?

    Kingdom Seeds Mark 4:1-20 Introduction - Pray for Rod: doing well, needs to rest and recover from fusion surgery - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- He is the ultimate servant; giving Himself clearly for all who will receive -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, ...read more

    A perspective on Luke 15: 1-3, 11b-32. The loving father does he wait for a lengthy and rehearsed apology from his returning son. He sees him coming in the distance and with joy runs out to greet him. In this way he brings honour again to his son.

    Luke 15: 1-3, 11b-32 The God Who Runs God loves to have a party. He has been known to host the best and biggest celebrations in heaven whenever a sinner turns around from following their own desires and decides to come home to God. Everyone is invited to celebrate. Our parable today is not so ...read more

    First in a series of messages that examine Jesus' parables from the perspective of a minor or unsympathetic character.

    Several years ago I came across a book by J. Ellsworth Kalas titled Parables from the Back Side. The author’s introduction to the book begins with these words: Familiarity doesn’t always breed contempt, as the saying puts it, but it often breeds something potentially worse, the glazed ...read more

    Eighth in this series. The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector reveals that I either come to church to impress God or to be impressed by God.

    Note: Since this message was presented in the form of a table that summarized the two reasons for coming to church some formatting may not look right. Let me begin with a question this morning. I don’t want to embarrass anyone, so I’m not going to ask you for a show of hands or ask you ...read more
