    December 12, 2021 Hope Lutheran Church Rev. Mary Erickson Luke 3:7-18 More than Skin Deep Friends, may grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord.

  • Anointed For Mission [lectionary 3c]

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 30, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,021 views

    Leave the success of your life to a power greater than you. Just do the things you were anointed for. Let a power greater than you take care of the ‘how.’

    The theme in our Readings this Sunday is that the ‘opening of the Scriptures’ is consonant with ‘the opening of the eyes’. The use of physical seeing as a metaphor for spiritual insight is commonplace. Those that are blind(ed), are unable to read the Scriptures. E.g. Two young fish are swimming ...read more

  • Advent 2015 - Week 3 - Mary

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 15, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,180 views

    The events of Jesus' conception, birth, presentation at the temple, the shepherds and the Wisemen are all swirling around in Mary's head. What could they mean? Some seem contradictory. What does it mean that she treasured and pondered them in her heart?

    Read Luke 2:8-20 and Luke 2:41-52 (from an actual Bible!) What do these two accounts have in common? Luke 2:19, 51b (LEB) “But Mary treasured up all these words, pondering them in her heart.” “And [Jesus’] mother treasured all these things in her heart.” To ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 155 views

    Building our lives upon Jesus.

    PICTURES FROM THE SERMON ON THE PLAIN. Luke 6:39-49. 1. The Two Blind Men (Luke 6:39-42). “Can the blind lead the blind?” asked Jesus. “Shall they not both fall into the ditch?” (LUKE 6:39). There is a certain arrogance about some would-be teachers of others. They boast that they can see, ...read more

  • The First Sunday Of Advent, Year C: Not Very Christmasy.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 12, 2024
     | 1,211 views

    The Church tells the Christmas Story backwards: the focus is to prepare for the coming of the Lord: at the end of the world, and when Christ comes for us at the end of our individual worlds, at death.

    Our Gospel from St. Luke today is a little unsettling. Not very Christmasy. Unseasonal thoughts about the end of the world. Yet, the word Advent from the Latin, adventus, means “coming.” The Church tells the Christmas Story backwards: the focus is to prepare for the coming of the Lord: at the end ...read more

  • A Name More Excellent

    based on 11 ratings
     | 9,533 views

    Scripture proofs for the superiority of Jesus.

    A NAME MORE EXCELLENT. Hebrews 1:1-14. The high Christology of Hebrews 1 bears comparison with that of John 1:1-14. We are first reminded of the many and various ways that God spoke through the prophets in times past (Hebrews 1:1). Then we are informed that the final word of God has now come to ...read more

    CHARACTERISTICS OF CONSISTENT CHRISTIANS ASSIGNED TO THE LETTERS OF THE WORD "PECULIAR".

    July 21, 2002 P-E-C-U-L-I-A-R TITUS 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. THE BIBLE TELLS THAT GOD WILL PURIFY US INTO A PECULIAR PEOPLE. I GRANT YOU WITHOUT RESERVATION THAT THERE ARE ...read more

  • Advent 2c-- Make Straight His Paths Series

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 1, 2018
     | 4,311 views

    What needs straightening out in my life? How can I help ease the path of others?

    Father Joseph Donders who lives in Washington DC tells an interesting story about going to the airport to pick up a friend who was coming to visit him from Africa. It was a cold, winter day and all the trees were bare except for a few firs and pines. This was the first time his friend ever left ...read more

  • Will You Come And Follow Me? (3rd Sunday Before Advent - Year B)

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Nov 4, 2021
     | 2,447 views

    We consider how the calling of the fishermen affects our lives, and allows us to focus on our own calling and why it is important for us to share our faith beginnings with others.

    In the name of the Living God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. As I sat thinking about our Gospel this morning, a film that I watched a number of years ago came to mind, a comedy called School of life, starring Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds was a school teacher whose job was to teach his students ...read more

  • The Unfinished Benediction

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 1, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,390 views

    From Easter to the ends of the earth, via the Ascension of Jesus.

    THE UNFINISHED BENEDICTION. Luke 24:44-53. Easter had been a hectic, confusing day: but, in our text, Jesus pointed the disciples first to His own words, and then to the Old Testament Scriptures in order that they might put some meaning on all that had happened (Luke 24:44-45). This is where we ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,503 views

    God has appointed a variety of gifts for the edification of the church.

    UNITY, INTERDEPENDENCE, AND GIFTS. 1 Corinthians 12:12-31. 1. The oneness of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-14). The bookends to these three verses emphasise the fact that there is one body and many members (1 Corinthians 12:12a), and that the body does not consist of one member ...read more

  • The Dew Of Hermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,941 views

    The knitting together of kindred hearts in covenant love.

    THE DEW OF HERMON. Psalm 133:1-3. I like the Scottish Metrical version of this Psalm: “Behold, how good a thing it is, and how becoming well, Together such as brethren are in unity to dwell!” A good one to sing, perhaps, as we break bread together. “Behold” calls us to look carefully, ...read more

  • In Christ Alone - Philippians 3:3b-8 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 3, 2022
     | 996 views

    The true people of God are those who serve God by means of the Holy Spirit (living the Christian life by exposing ourselves to the Spirit’s influence and cooperating with what he does) and who glory in Christ alone, rather than putting any confidence in the flesh.

    The true people of God are those who serve God by means of the Holy Spirit (living the Christian life by exposing ourselves to the Spirit’s influence and cooperating with what he does) and who glory in (rely on, hope in, rejoice in, count on, run after, regard as supremely important) Christ alone, ...read more
