Listening With Love

Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Dec 22, 2019

Sermon for Advent 4, Year A. Sermon contrasts how Joseph could have treated Mary and how he actually acted toward her. Mary has a story (and thus Jesus) because Joseph listened with love and showed mercy.

Preparing for 2020: Listening with Love I feel for Joseph. Not only because he’s often overlooked, but in some ways I understand what it’s like to be Joseph.

Mother’s Day 2018

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 24, 2018

Mothers shape our children who in turn shape our world. That's a lot of responsibility but God has seen fit to entrust it to women. A Mother’s work is never done and for that reason many wise mothers point us to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith

Mother’s Day 2018 Mother’s today are the most courageous people I know of. They face a world that treats them and their contributions with contempt and indifference. We see the government removing the word “Mother” from official documents and replacing it with the words “Parent One”. Well at ...read more

Bible Canon

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Dec 7, 2022

How did we get the Bible? How do we understand it?

The Christian Bible forms the measure of our faith. While tradition, reason and experience can contribute in valuable ways to our faith, they are not always the teachings of Jesus, the prophets and apostles. Let’s look at the canon of the Bible. Compiling the Bible over thousands of years is ...read more

Preparing For Easter: An Outline For A Message From The Song, "Where He Leads Me”

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 22, 2023

Great hymns can be a source of inspiration for sermons. The song, "Where He Leads Me", is appropriate not only as an invitation song but also as a guide through the Easter season. To the best of my knowledge, the song is in the public domain and has no current copyright.

Worthy Is The Lamb! (Revelation 5)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 8, 2024

The Lord Jesus Christ has all things and events under His Divine and Sovereign control. He has the final word on how everything will conclude. No amount of evil on the world's part will stop Him from His mission to "make all things new".

I sometimes think that when we study the book of Revelation, we tend to focus upon the impending judgments of the wicked and the horrendous consequences that follow. While God's wrath is certainly a major theme of the book, we must remember that the book of Revelation is also a book of ...read more
