    The Comeback

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Mar 26, 2015
     | 9,918 views

    God makes our desert a garden; He turns our exile into homecoming.

    MY MOTHER DIED when I was twenty-six. She was only fifty-seven. A few years before her death, she was diagnosed with cancer of the larynx. She fought it bravely, but, in time, it overtook her, and all too soon, by our accounts, she died. We had a service led by an Air Force chaplain at a local ...read more

    With His Coming

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Mar 30, 2015
     | 4,657 views

    Jesus became vulnerable so that we might become victorious. He put himself in harm's way to drive all harm away from us.

    THERE’S A STORY in the Bible about King Jehoshaphat and how, one day, he was given some distressing news. Messengers came, and they told him that the massive armies of three – not one or two, but three – nations were coming against him. “A great multitude,” they ...read more

    Easter Reservations

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 9, 2015
     | 4,916 views

    Our risen Lord thrusts us into a future we’d never choose but we’d hate to lose.

    THE FAMILY I GREW UP IN was highly conflicted. You would think that, for all the fighting we did, we would have gotten good at it – or, at least, that we would have seen something constructive come out of it. But the incessant bickering never seemed to bring about change; we just grew ...read more

    Vital Christianity

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 13, 2015
     | 3,844 views

    Only a vital Christianity creates vital Christians.

    Without Jesus at the center of our faith and life, what are we left with? As far as our Christianity goes, it’s going to be nothing more than some form of bland moralism, religious formalism, or an anemic spirituality that neither motivates us nor appeals to others. We must have a ...read more

    Christmas Grace: The Shepherds Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 15, 2014
     | 3,889 views

    This Child, this Christ, would be prophet, priest, and king -- showing God's way, ruling His people with compassion, and offering Himself as the sacrifice for their sins.

    8 In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 Then the angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for, see – I am ...read more

    Savior And Lord

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 19, 2014
     | 2,079 views

    By his sacrifice of himself, Jesus has proven his love for us. And because of that we worship him. We acknowledge him as Savior and Lord not because we have to but because we want to!

    Do you remember the story of the emperor’s clothes? If I am recalling it right, someone persuaded the emperor to buy a suit of clothes that only people with the most exquisite taste in fashion could see. Of course, the emperor could not see the clothes, nor could anyone else – because ...read more

    Our Inheritance

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 27, 2014
     | 5,076 views

    A funeral sermon in which we learn about the person something of her relationship to herself, to others, and to God.

    Jutta was one of those people that make a preacher’s job easier – or really, the job of anyone who speaks in public. I came to know Jutta at the vespers service held each Thursday evening at the Manor. She always sat close to the front – on the second row, in fact – ...read more

    Christmas Journeys: The Magi Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 27, 2014
     | 4,542 views

    We ought to take our cue – not from Herod, who rejected God’s gift of Jesus – but from the wise men, who received it with glad and thankful hearts.

    This is the last of our series on the theme of Faces at the Manger. We started with Joseph, remember, and we continued with the angels, the shepherds, and Mary, the mother of our Lord. And now we conclude with the wise men, or the magi, as they are sometimes called. Technically, they did not ...read more

    Jan's Triumph

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jan 9, 2015
     | 3,581 views

    God's love has made us His children, and it will make us like His Son.

    One thing I learned about Jan: She never felt the need to control others. I don’t mean by that that she had no boundaries or no expectations of us. She wanted us to be our best selves. But she didn’t see the need to coerce us. She didn’t need us to be a certain way for her to be ...read more

    Bob's Legacy

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jan 9, 2015
     | 6,392 views

    Don't just be religious. Make your life a spiritual quest.

    Bob’s house was well built, by which I mean that his life was well-grounded. That’s what the Bible means – at least, most times – when it talks about building houses. We saw in Proverbs where it says, “By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is ...read more

    God Is Above Us Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jan 12, 2015
     | 5,230 views

    There are aspects of God that we cannot know. God is above us -- far above us.

    This would be Moses’ second trip up the mountain to meet God. The first trip had ended in disaster. God had given him the tablets of the law, written in stone, and he was coming down the mountain to give them to the people. But he heard something unexpected. He heard what sounded like loud ...read more

    Before The Harvest

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jan 12, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,812 views

    The wheat and the weeds, then, grow side by side – and will, until the harvest. Then, according to Jesus, there will be a separation.

    This is a simple tale, isn’t it? Or, so it seems. But there’s actually more to Jesus’ story than meets the eye. If you and I were to look down the page just a few verses, what we would find is Jesus’ explanation of this parable and what it means. As he lays it out, he ...read more

    Can The Dead Hear?

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jan 12, 2015
     | 5,938 views

    When the heart goes out of our faith, then the life goes out of our church. A vital congregation has its source in God.

    Nobody wants to be a part of a dead church. Not even Jesus! In the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation, we find Jesus speaking to the church in a city called Sardis, and you know what he says? He says: “I know your works; you have a name [for] being alive, but [actually] you are ...read more

    A Claim, A Commandment, And A Promise

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jan 12, 2015
     | 3,820 views

    Casual Christianity is worthless and brings neither glory to God nor satisfaction to the soul.

    I love fast food. I know I shouldn’t, but I do. Actually, I don’t really love it; I’m just comfortable with it. It’s quick. It’s easy. And it’s cheap. It’s not good for me, I know. The last time I ate a Big Mac, I checked the calorie count. If you eat just ...read more

    God Is Near Us Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,907 views

    God has good cause to be angry with us, but, because of his grace, he is not.

    Dr. Richard Cutter was my Greek professor at Baylor. One day, during class, he was lecturing along, and I was having a hard time keeping up. I glanced over at the notes of the student sitting next to me, hoping to get from him something that I had missed. That’s okay, isn’t it? I mean, ...read more
