    FAITH TO STAND (part 3) Satan offered Jesus the world for "a song." The devil still offers us the world if we are willing to just bow to his idols. You can have faith to stand when others freely bow their knee.

    Jesus invites us to rethink how we evaluate human worth with a parable about a successful man whom God regarded as a fool.

    Text: Luke 12:15-21 Introduction This passage of Scripture is troubling. It may not strike us as troubling on the surface. Indeed we are likely to say the obligatory “Amen” on reading or hearing this passage read in worship. (Remember Amen means “so let it be” or “I agree, I concur, I ...read more

     | 21,675 views

    When frustration abounds, in prayer we can discover deepened relationships, new possibilities, and ultimately grace.

    For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a house for him; therefore your servant has found it possible to pray before you.

    You Missed The Point

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 23, 2003

     | 7,638 views

    Why do we scold fathers on Father’s Day, when it is often that their children simply miss hearing their counsel. The sons of Josiah ignored their grounding in God’s word and the support of the Temple and misunderstood the value of hard work.

    The difference between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day is that we honor our mothers but we scold our fathers. We talk of saintly moms, who wore their fingers to the bone to cook and clean and sow for us. We honor them for their industry, their mother wit, and their prayer life. And that is as it ...read more

    Midlife feels like a time for new clothes .. signs of mortality are showing up. We need new "shoes" to climb out of self-centeredness, and a new "coat" to enable us to travel out of our comfort zone.

    I’ve always been glad that in this church we wear pulpit robes. I’m glad of that because pulpit robes keep you from noticing what the preacher is wearing. I don’t want you to think about what I am wearing. I don’t want you to think about my clothes because you are likely to discover that my ...read more
