    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Oct 3, 2023

     | 2,363 views

    A sermon about the impossible becoming possible through God.

    “Going Through the Eye of a Needle” Mark 10:17-31 Our Gospel lesson for this morning starts out with a bit of irony. What do I mean by that? The story begins with these words: “As Jesus started on his way…” “On his way,” is a code phrase for Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem. It’s Jesus’ final ...read more

    The Communion, the Eucharist, the Lord’s Table -- whatever we name it -- is, by the Lord’s teaching in John 6, the seat and center of our existential experience of intimacy with Christ.

    Fourth Sunday in Lent Exodus 16:9-15, 1 Corinthians 10:14-22, John 6:10-58 “Eating the Bread of Heaven” Jesus’ feeding the 5,000 is understandably one of the most preached passages from John’s gospel. I am sure you have heard a great many sermons on it. I know I have. I’ve even preached a few ...read more

    Why Shepherds?

    The birth of Jesus Christ was not revealed to kings or rulers. It was not revealed to the religious elite. When God came to earth, He let the world know by announcing the birth of His Son to lowly shepherds.

    Why Shepherds? Luke 2:8-20 Introduction The birth of Jesus Christ was not revealed to kings or rulers. It was not revealed to the religious elite. When God came to earth, He let the world know by announcing the birth of His Son to lowly shepherds. Why? Perhaps He wanted the poor and outcast of ...read more

    The importance of this narrative to the individual Christian is quite clear. Christ being the example for the church today, we as the body should exemplify similar characteristics. We need to be people of the Spirit, people of the Word and people of the

    Mathew 4:1-11 This is a powerfully written story, where Matthew creates an atmosphere of suspense, irony, artistry, and realism. It is an ideal romantic narrative, which unfolds in the center of a character foil and temptation plot motif as its primary literary construction. The suspense unfolds ...read more

    Assumptions. We all have them. We all make them. In fact, we live our lives assuming that our assumptions about people and situations are accurate. It takes something strikingly different to make us stop and look at things from a different perspective.

    The Master Of Plot-Twists Series

    God is a master at plot twists, isn’t He?

    Solemnity of the Incarnation 2023 The prophet Isaiah was, in my opinion, a master of irony. Although King Ahaz, who was king over a territory about the size of a Texas county and thus a kind of rump king, had allied his little nation with the huge Assyrian empire, that big gang of thieves was ...read more

    A sermon for the start of Lent 2021

    I think this is the point where I am supposed to talk about Lent being a penitential time, and time for giving things up, but that seems patent nonsense in 2021. In the last eleven months we have given up more than we ever wished for longer than we would have wished. And we have lost some people ...read more

    They hated Me without cause.

    THE COST OF MISSION. John 15:18-25. Jesus was preparing His disciples for the work of world mission. He warned them that they would face opposition, even as He first faced opposition ahead of them. In effect, “If the world hates you, remember that it hated Me before you” (John 15:18). One of ...read more

    Joseph and Mary brought their newborn Jesus into the Temple for a solemn ceremony.

    Homecoming Today’s feast is a commemoration of the wonderful moment when Jesus, the Messiah and Son of God, comes home to the Temple at Jerusalem. Homecoming is a wonderful moment in life.

    Is it lawful to good on the sabbath days?

    A SABBATH FOR THE HUNGRY, HEALING FOR THE WITHERED. Mark 2:23-3:6. Jesus said, ‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled’ (Matthew 5:6). The hunger and thirst which He spoke of in that Beatitude is evidently spiritual, but it is amply illustrated in ...read more

    Standing in the Freedom of the Gospel: By Faith from Beginning to End Galatians 3:1-5 Paul moves from sharing about his confronting Peter to addressing the reason those in Galatia are straying from the gospel – they have been deceived, having come under a spell.

    He Is Calling You By Name

    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,078 views

    The call of God is what makes all the difference in our lives. We do not have to be on our death bed - or dying on a cross next to the Cross of Jesus - in order to hear His word of mercy.

    HE IS CALLING YOU BY NAME. 1 Samuel 3:1-10. The days of the Saviour-Judges were drawing to a close and, as in our own days, “the word of the LORD was rare” (1 Samuel 3:1). There was a dearth in the land, but not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the word of God ...read more
