    Where the wild things are.

    Isaiah and the Baptizer from our Readings this Second Sunday of Advent conspire to give us animal dreams. [source: Holy fishes: Isaiah 11:1-10; Romans 15:4-13; Matthew 3:1-12 by Frederick A.

  • The First Sunday Of Advent, Year C: Not Very Christmasy.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 12, 2024
     | 1,188 views

    The Church tells the Christmas Story backwards: the focus is to prepare for the coming of the Lord: at the end of the world, and when Christ comes for us at the end of our individual worlds, at death.

    Our Gospel from St. Luke today is a little unsettling. Not very Christmasy. Unseasonal thoughts about the end of the world. Yet, the word Advent from the Latin, adventus, means “coming.” The Church tells the Christmas Story backwards: the focus is to prepare for the coming of the Lord: at the end ...read more

  • A Light In The Darkness

    The beautiful truth of Christ's mission is that God was not just content to contain darkness or to hold it at bay for a while. Instead, he pierced the heart of it and conquered it on our behalf.

    INTRODUCTION The passage just read is probably one of my favorite Christmas passages from one of my favorite books of the Bible. In fact, it is one of the reasons Isaiah has sometimes been called the “fifth gospel”, because between this, 7:14, 11:1-9, and chapter 53, we have an almost complete ...read more

  • Love Is A Verb (Lectionary, Year B, Fourth Sunday After Easter)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 21, 2021
     | 3,101 views

    We are called to live out God’s love and truth through our deeds by keeping God’s commandment to love one another in the name of Jesus Christ (I John 3:23)! Love is a verb because the kind of love that today’s text is talking about requires us to go beyond words and put love into action.

    LOVE IS A VERB Text: I John 3:16- 24 1 John 3:16-24  We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another.  (17)  How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet ...read more

    The Lord is my pace-setter, I shall not rush.

    Burt Kettinger tells about a small church in Rocky River, Ohio, just west of Cleveland where he grew up.

    Psalm 97:1-12 shows us the coming of the Lord to judge unbelievers and to reward believers.

    Scripture Today is the Fourth Sunday of Advent in 2021. We continue in our sermon series, “Christ’s Advent in the Psalms.” Today I want to examine Psalm 97. This Psalm is one of seven so-called “Theocratic Psalms” (Psalms 93, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, and 100). The theme of all seven Psalms is: “The ...read more

    On this third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete Sunday), we change from penitence to rejoicing for what is to come.

It is the onset of the winter season when the sun is the furthest from Earth and is often a time of darkness, doubt, and fear. And yet, Sunday is Gaudete Sunday - a beloved day ...read more

    It’s powered by the love flowing from Christ’s wounded side on the Cross; it’s the Power-source of deliverance and healing ministry.

    “He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him.” Jesus spoke in the imperative when he said, “Quiet! Come out of him!” 1.Authority is internal—in the Greek it means "out of (one's) essence"—essential. Like Jesus, whatever we do should be a demonstration, not of external ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 12, 2023
     | 1,365 views

    If someone suffers from depression, hearing to “rejoice always,” may spur the reaction: “I don't like being told what to feel.

    Today is Gaudete Sunday. “Rejoice (Gaudete) in the Lord always,” we hear in our Second Reading. The United States was founded to give people the right to pursue happiness; the Gospel invites people to receive the gift of joy. J.O.Y. is Jesus, Others, You.

    About a third of the way through the letter “J” in my dictionary you will come across the word “jeremiad”. And what, you ask, is a jeremiad? Well, a jeremiad is defined as (and I quote) “a long literary work, in which the author bitterly laments the state of society and its morals in a serious tone ...read more
