We must move beyond "comparative gratitude" and an awareness of our good fortune, to "vertical thanks to God who is the source of all blessings.

The blessings of Simeon by the Spirit and the love of Mary.

I am not a traditionalist in some things as you can probably imagine. The traditional way to write a sermon is to find your biblical text, write the sermon and then pick the title. I work a bit backwards; I come up with the title, find the text and then write the sermon. Sometimes that gets me ...read more

The Roles Of Women In The Church Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 20, 2005

based on 104 ratings

| 16,951 views

In this chapter it appears as if Paul calls men to pray and women to shut up - while dressed in sackcloth and ashes - staying home barefoot and pregnant. Although it is short - only 15 verses - it is ...read more
