  • Our Inheritance

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 27, 2014
     | 5,197 views

    A funeral sermon in which we learn about the person something of her relationship to herself, to others, and to God.

    Jutta was one of those people that make a preacher’s job easier – or really, the job of anyone who speaks in public. I came to know Jutta at the vespers service held each Thursday evening at the Manor. She always sat close to the front – on the second row, in fact – ...read more

  • Christmas Journeys: The Magi Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 27, 2014
     | 4,642 views

    We ought to take our cue – not from Herod, who rejected God’s gift of Jesus – but from the wise men, who received it with glad and thankful hearts.

    This is the last of our series on the theme of Faces at the Manger. We started with Joseph, remember, and we continued with the angels, the shepherds, and Mary, the mother of our Lord. And now we conclude with the wise men, or the magi, as they are sometimes called. Technically, they did not ...read more

  • Has God Made Himself Known? Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jan 2, 2015
     | 6,595 views

    Can we know God? Yes, we can, but only because he has chosen to make himself known to us.

    When our daughter was in Junior High School, she made friends with a group of girls from Olney, Texas, a community about forty minutes to the south of us. And they invited her to a function their school was having on a certain Friday night. So, I drove her over, and, when the time came, I went ...read more

  • Jan's Triumph

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jan 9, 2015
     | 3,633 views

    God's love has made us His children, and it will make us like His Son.

    One thing I learned about Jan: She never felt the need to control others. I don’t mean by that that she had no boundaries or no expectations of us. She wanted us to be our best selves. But she didn’t see the need to coerce us. She didn’t need us to be a certain way for her to be ...read more

  • Bob's Legacy

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jan 9, 2015
     | 6,543 views

    Don't just be religious. Make your life a spiritual quest.

    Bob’s house was well built, by which I mean that his life was well-grounded. That’s what the Bible means – at least, most times – when it talks about building houses. We saw in Proverbs where it says, “By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is ...read more

  • God Is Above Us Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jan 12, 2015
     | 5,374 views

    There are aspects of God that we cannot know. God is above us -- far above us.

    This would be Moses’ second trip up the mountain to meet God. The first trip had ended in disaster. God had given him the tablets of the law, written in stone, and he was coming down the mountain to give them to the people. But he heard something unexpected. He heard what sounded like loud ...read more

  • Nothing Withheld

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jan 12, 2015
     | 7,934 views

    In our relentless pursuit of what is expedient for us, we have run the other way from God, but in Christ God has run to us and for us, and he has provided the Lamb for the sacrifice that will reclaim us for God.

    Have you ever felt that God was asking you do the impossible, that what he was asking of you might be more than you could give? more than you could bear to give? Someone at work gets the promotion you were applying for – hoping for – and you know you are better qualified for the job. ...read more

  • Before The Harvest

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jan 12, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,902 views

    The wheat and the weeds, then, grow side by side – and will, until the harvest. Then, according to Jesus, there will be a separation.

    This is a simple tale, isn’t it? Or, so it seems. But there’s actually more to Jesus’ story than meets the eye. If you and I were to look down the page just a few verses, what we would find is Jesus’ explanation of this parable and what it means. As he lays it out, he ...read more

  • Can The Dead Hear?

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jan 12, 2015
     | 6,024 views

    When the heart goes out of our faith, then the life goes out of our church. A vital congregation has its source in God.

    Nobody wants to be a part of a dead church. Not even Jesus! In the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation, we find Jesus speaking to the church in a city called Sardis, and you know what he says? He says: “I know your works; you have a name [for] being alive, but [actually] you are ...read more

  • A Claim, A Commandment, And A Promise

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jan 12, 2015
     | 3,961 views

    Casual Christianity is worthless and brings neither glory to God nor satisfaction to the soul.

    I love fast food. I know I shouldn’t, but I do. Actually, I don’t really love it; I’m just comfortable with it. It’s quick. It’s easy. And it’s cheap. It’s not good for me, I know. The last time I ate a Big Mac, I checked the calorie count. If you eat just ...read more

  • Christmas Interruptions: Joseph Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 8, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,043 views

    Christmas interrupts the unraveling of your life. Your fears, like Joseph’s, are unfounded, and for the same reason: The child in Mary’s womb!

    You’ve got to see this first Christmas from Joseph’s point of view. I mean, his heart was full of anticipation over his recent engagement to Mary. His head was no doubt filled with images of what his life was going to be like, and he saw nothing but blue skies and smooth seas ahead. ...read more

  • Christmas News: The Angels Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 8, 2014
     | 3,119 views

    We need to be seized once more by heavenly realities – just as Zechariah was. We need to experience something like a shock to our smug certainties that whittle God down to a manageable size and leave us underwhelmed by the mysteries of eternity.

    Angels have fallen on hard times these days. Hardly anyone thinks about them anymore…except at Christmas, of course. But even at that, people don’t much believe in them. Although…I knew a woman – a member of this church at one time: She told me that she had actually seen an ...read more

  • The Journey Of Faith Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 8, 2014
     | 9,209 views

    It is through Jesus that God speaks to you and me – no matter how dark the times, no matter how difficult the way, no matter how unfaithful people around us may be. God speaks to us through Jesus, and he calls us to himself just as he did Ruth.

    The book of Ruth is the story of an extended family living in a dangerous place during turbulent times. The story is told in four scenes, with a chapter devoted to each scene. Chapter 1 is about a journey, chapter 2 a day in the field, chapter 3 a night to remember, and chapter 4 a morning that ...read more

  • Fields Of Grace Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 8, 2014
     | 7,566 views

    God takes us on – just as Boaz took on Ruth – and he makes promises to us…and gracious provision. And he “works all things together for good to those who love him, who are called according to his purpose” (Rom. 8:29).

    You’ve heard the one, I ‘m sure, about the lonely frog who goes to see a fortune-teller. He’s told not to worry. She says, “You’re going to meet a beautiful young girl, and she will want to know everything about you.” “That’s great!” the ...read more

  • Wings Of Mercy Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 8, 2014
     | 7,055 views

    God takes us, sinners one and all – spiritual waifs, to be honest – and he “marries” himself to us. He redeems us from the estrangement sin has caused in our lives. He takes us under his wings; he covers us with his cloak. And we are restored.

    One of the characters in Kent Haruf’s novel Plainsong is Victoria, a seventeen-year-old girl who is four months pregnant. When her boyfriend finds out about her condition, he breaks up with her. And when her mother finds out, she kicks her out of the house and says to her, “You got ...read more
