    A short talk given at a midweek communion service 3 days after resurrection Sunday. What God-inspired task have you been given. Like the women, as you go, Jesus will meet you and minister to you in the task.

    They were ‘afraid yet filled with joy’ (28:8). Mary Magdalene and the other Mary - Mary the mother of James and Joses (27:56&61) – arrive at the tomb (28:1). They witness the stone rolled away from the mouth of the tomb (28:2). They see the guards posted by Pilate (27:65) so ...read more

    The traditional theme for the Third Sunday of Advent is Joy. This sermon, originally prepared for that Sunday, is based on the Angel’s message to the Shepherds in Luke 2, "I Bring You Good Tidings of Great Joy."

    Good Tidings of great Joy --Luke 2:8-14 What would be your response if you suddenly had an encounter with one of heaven’s angels? Angels are super beings; they are more powerful and intelligent that we are, but they are not omnipotent and omniscient like God. Therefore, it is only natural for ...read more

    This sermon was preached on Gaudete (Joy) Sunday (3rd sunday in Advent). I wasn’t feeling very joy-filled, though I felt called to preach on joy (and used that hesitancy as part of the sermon focus). It’s my best "grumpy sermon on joy" ever.

    It’s been a rough couple weeks for me. My wallet was stolen last Wednesday. My step-grandfather died – two days ago. I woke up feeling sick and lost my voice - yesterday. Almost got stuck in the snow last night. Had to park around the corner and traipse home in the deep snow with the wind whipping ...read more

    God is our Judge and our Joy! Our daily living must reflect what God wants from us -- following the Word of God, submitting to God, resisting the devil, humbling yourselves before the Lord, purifying your heart, and be peace-loving, considerate, full of mercy, and sincere (James 3:17)

    When the Lord appeared to Abraham and the 3 visitors came to him, to tell him that Sarah would have a son, the Lord told him he would destroy Sodom and Gomorrah with the wicked and the righteous together. Abraham called Him 'The Judge of All the Earth." But the "Judge" was able ...read more
