    John the Baptist understood the power of the miracles, but wanted judgment to accompany them. He was having trouble waiting for justice -- as we do.

    Third Sunday in Advent -- Lectionary A: Isaiah 35:1-10; Psalm 146:4-9; James 5:7-10; Matthew 11:2-12 I was cleaning out some things this week and came across some papers, among which were some cartoons I had saved. I must have been having a bad day, for one of the cartoons was Ziggy sitting at a ...read more

    Joseph had to learn that what God thinks of him was more important than what others thought of him. It was more important than his reputation. It gave him a new identity.

    Rediscovering Christmas Getting a Bad Rep Matthew 1:18-25 December 16, 2007 Last week we say how John was born to be wild. This week as we rediscover Christmas, we are going to examine a crucial figure in the Christmas story: Joseph. I will begin with a story about a woman named Margaret. ...read more

    Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and our Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Christ. Have you ever noticed the differences between old roads and new roads?

    Getting ready for Christmas - easy. But getting ready for Christ? What does it mean to repent?

    :1-6 READY FOR CHRISTMAS! BUT READY FOR CHRIST? December has to be, by far, the craziest month of the year – wouldn’t you agree?

    The premise of this sermon is that sometimes there is much more disappointment in our hearts than hope! Advent’s message through the Prophet Isaiah is that hope is hidden deep within us, safe and secure, and is ready to burst forth in renewed life.

    Advent II- Hope It was just this word of hope the people desperately needed to hear--the words that Isaiah wrote about the dry-looking stump with a green shoot growing out of it. The Israelites felt hopeless, in despair. The words Isaiah wrote told of that despairing and proclaimed that the ...read more

    There are three points to this sermon. 1. God gives courage to ordinary people. 2. God gives us courage to overcome our doubts and fears. 3. God gives us courage to face the future.

    (This sermon is a re-working of “The Nativity Story: The Courage of Joseph” by C. Raymond van Pletsen. I used some of the same wording and illustrations but changed the outline and applications. I only spoke of movies I had seen and since I am not a sports fan changed the ending.) Christmas ...read more

    We often mess up our Christian lives, not because we are malicious or evil, but because we are frail and needy. We need a power beyond ourselves to win that fight. We need something that is bigger than we are.

    Betwixt and Between As Christians, each of us will experience struggle. We will struggle when we know the right thing to say or do, but we just cannot do it. It may be due to our pride, or a principle, or we are angry, or we just can’t accept a different perspective. We know something is wrong, ...read more
