Hinneni

Contributed by Matt Hoffmann on Jun 10, 2009

Isaiah says, "Hinneni," or, "HERE I AM," when God calls. The only way he can have this confidence is through knowing the forgiveness of Christ. When God call us we respond like Isaiah because of the cross alone.

Language is a funny thing. It’s amazing that we can share so much by just talking. Ideas, feelings, problems, joys, knowledge – all passed on through language. We don’t often stop to think about how amazing it is that we can talk. But we also don’t often stop to think of the limits of human ...read more

Eternal Life From The Good Samaritan

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010

And to him, Jesus was cheapening the Law, the Torah, making it into nothing. Now, all the wrong people were thronging to ...read more

What's Going On Around Here?

Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on May 1, 2013

In the so-called mainline churches, many members cling to the adage, "We've never done it that way before!" As the religious people in Jesus' time discovered, hanging on to the old will blind us to the new thing that God is doing in our midst.

Our lectionary passages this morning concern radical change, perhaps none more radical that Peter's vision in the 11th chapter of Acts. Most of us don't give much thought to what we eat and, if we do, our concern is more with calories than holiness. We don't consider food groups to be "clean" or ...read more
