    First, the worship services were boring; second, the sermons were irrelevant. Now, I do recognize that it’s quite possible for a pastor to make the greatest story ever told - the most gripping and significant message ever proclaimed - seem dull and routin

    True worship is not for the weak of heart. True worship comes from a heart that is truly committed to the Lord.

    Jesus declared, “Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers ...read more

    A very short talk given at a midweek Communion service, looking at the firstfruits brought to the Temple. Today, our offerings should also be used to bless the foreigner, the asylum seeker and the Priest!

    I wonder how you will react when in just a moment I rephrase verse eleven of this Bible reading. We’ve just heard about an important act of worship in the life of Israel. As a response of thanks and praise to God for bringing them into the Land he promised (26:3), worshippers were required ...read more

    Worship today is internal rather than geographical. It is constant.

    Worship today John 4:19-24 The original worship must have been amazing. Eve and Adam, surrounded by the Garden of Eden, something between a botanical garden and an orchard. Discussions at dusk of keeping trees, naming animals, new things they tried, and gratitude for the bounty and beauty they ...read more

    Worship can become an awe-inspiring event every Sunday, something to look forward to, and a reconnection to God.

    “I am sick and tired of you not doing what you are told.” Does this sound familiar to anyone else here? My dad used to say this all the time when I didn’t complete my chores or just do what he said in general. Now, some of you have probably imitated your parents and now you say the same thing or ...read more

    At the feast in Bethany, we can see a beautiful picture of the Church and a contrast between a worshiper and one who was selfish.

    * Jesus had been staying a Ephraim. * As the Passover approached, people began to wonder if Jesus would show up for the feast. * He shows up in Bethany at a feast to honor him, sponsored by the family of Lazarus, Mary and Martha. * In this setting, we get the most beautiful picture of a healthy, ...read more
