    My Spirit Rejoices

    based on 4 ratings

    Who will say with Mary: The Lord has looked with favor on my lowliness. My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

    The song of Mary is the oldest Advent hymn. It is also the most passionate, the wildest, and one might almost say the most revolutionary Advent hymn that has ever been sung. This is not the gentle, tender, dreamy Mary as we often see her portrayed in paintings. The Mary who is speaking here is ...read more

    We are looking at what Jesus "really meant" and in doing so I hope that at this point you have come to at least consider that what you were taught about Christ Jesus, His claims, attitudes, actions warrant a reasoned second look.

    Part 15 It’s All about "religion" I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said 'Stop! don't do it!' 'Why shouldn't I?' he said. I said, 'Well, there's so much to live for!' He said, 'Like what?' I said, 'Well...are ...read more

    18th Pentecost 11 Exodus 33:12-23 and Matthew 22: 15-22 Bearing the image of God. I want to take a different route this morning and do a comparison of the Old Testament with the New.

    O Lord It Is Hard To Be Humble

    Being humble is difficult because as soon as you believe that you are becoming more humble, you in essence are not humble anymore! Reminds me of the old Mac Davis song O Lord it is hard to be humble when you are perfect in every way.

    For those not familiar with an Anglican Service; there are four Scripture Readings before the Sermon. The Scripture Readings for this day were: Joshua:3:7-17; ; Psalm 107:1-7,33-37; 1 Thessalonians 2:9-13 and Matthew 23:1-12. A Texas rancher met up with a Vermont dairy farmer. The two men began ...read more

    We know we should love our neighbor, but how do we practically do it? Let’s look.

    Loving Your Neighbor Matthew 22:36-40 Relationships are the key to life. Jesus said all of the commandments of God can be boiled down to just two - Loving God and Loving your neighbor as yourself. By themselves they are too vague for self centered humans to follow. So God expanded them to ...read more

    The tiny book of Jude warns us about infiltrators in the church and what to do about them.

    It was the winter of 1944. The German army was in retreat, but had one desperate battle strategy which became known as the BATTLE of the BULGE. A key part of their strategy was to disrupt and mis-direct reinforcement troops that the Americans would send when the battle began. German spies, ...read more

    Some women gave up their mirrors so the bronze Laver could be built. What remarkable women, what a remarkable sacrifice, what a remarkable change of heart; abandoning the outward image of Eve to develop the inner image of Jesus.

Three guys were out fishing one day when, out of the blue, they caught a mermaid who said she’d grant each of them a wish if they’d set her free. 2. “Okay,” said the first guy, “double my IQ.” The ...read more
