    Contributed by Dan Funk on Aug 23, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,406 views

    I believe Jesus is drawing our attention to the father and his compassion and joy in order to give us a a deeper understanding of the nature of God and His Kingdom; of our calling to be instruments of His life-giving compassion, and to share in His joy.

    We heard in today’s Gospel reading the Parable of the Prodigal Son, and I am sure most of us have read and heard it numerous times. And we all perhaps have lost count of the sermons we have heard on this parable. You may be wondering what on earth I can say on this that is new or unique. I ...read more

  • What Really Counts Series

     | 6,695 views

    We are told what really counts. Paul closes the letter to the Galatians with his own hand and using large letters. It would be like using bold print in an email. It is his way of saying pay close attention to this section of the letter.

    Some things are simply more important than others. When you receive junk mail do you give it the same importance as priority mail? I use a different wake up call system when I have an early morning appointment that is really important. I may set two alarms if I do not want to be late under any ...read more

    The clarity of mindfulness can be associated with a state of mental sharpness where one can think clearly, focus attentively, and process information efficiently without feeling bewildered or enraptured, essentially allowing for rational decision-making and a clear understanding of situations.

    Jon Kabat-Zinn, an American educator once remarked: “Mindfulness is about love and loving life. When you cultivate this love, it gives you clarity and compassion for life, and your actions happen in accordance with that.” Acts 17:29 reminds us: “Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think ...read more

  • John 3:16 Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 23, 2024
     | 2,935 views

    When John wrote these words, Jews would have thought God would love only the righteous. But the Bible doesn’t say God loves good-looking people. The Bible doesn’t say God loves rich and successful people.

    Think with me about some of the most famous sayings in history. Martin Luther King Jr said famously, “I have a dream…” John Fitzgerald Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” Perhaps there is no more famous sentence anywhere than John ...read more

  • Knee Bowed And Body Bent Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 19, 2000

    Since body language communicates our real feelings, we must pay attention to how we present our bodies to God -- in the words of James Weldon Johnson, "knee-bowed", ready to submit our wills to His; and "body-bent", ready to work for things that matter.

    You may not speak a great many foreign languages, but there is one language other than English at which most of us are proficient. That is body language. Whether our mouths can pronounce strange sounds or whether our eyes can make any sense out of different alphabets, we can see body language. ...read more

    What do you bring to the parade? What will you give Jesus today? He is passing by. He is looking your way. Will you look him in the eye, take him by the hand, and make him your King and Lord?

    The Parade John 12:12-19 Ticker-tape parades are not as common today as they once were. There was a time when our country honored our heroes and heroines with colossal spectacles.
