    Get A Life

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 24, 2023
     | 1,647 views

    The life we get from Jesus, a gift from God through the Holy Spirit, requires cleansing and renewal daily, not just at the beginning.

    This familiar chapter from John’s Gospel is the lectionary text for today, the 2nd Sunday in Lent. It’s a good text, a familiar text, so familiar that when I first wrote it I expected it to be relatively smooth sailing. But it wasn’t. It was a difficult sermon for me to write, partly because it’s ...read more

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Dec 25, 2025

    December 27, 2025 Samuel was unique. He was judge, prophet and priest and under his wise control the nation prospered. Eventually, however, he was forced to share the responsibilities of government and he chose his 2 sons – Joel and Abijah – to assist him. He appointed them judges and sent ...read more
