    based on 50 ratings
     | 9,212 views

    Dr. King had a dream of reconciliation for all people. It is up to us to keep the dream alive.

    REV. JOSEPH M. COMAGE RECONCILIATION ACTS 15:36-41 "...THEIR DISAGREEMENT WAS SO SHARP THAT THEY SEPARATED....." 2nd TIMOTHY 4:11 ".... BRING MARK WITH YOU WHEN YOU COME, FOR I NEED HIM". INTRO: RECONCILIATION: TO RESTORE TO ...read more

  • Sardis: Alarm Bells Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 12, 2003
    based on 44 ratings
     | 7,153 views

    God is working to get our attention. Sometimes He uses alarm bells when we must respond immediately. Sometimes He uses alarm clocks to focus us on our daily disciplines. What is best, however, is the inner body clock, the inner drive to be a Kingdom pe

    The greatest challenge any speaker has is to gain and to hold the attention of his audience. Speech teachers tell us that if we are going to practice anything, practice both the opening and the ending of a speech. That may be all that anyone remembers. So how does a speaker gain and ...read more

  • Transfusion

    Funeral sermon for Henry Allen, who had lingered in weakened condition for many months, and who had become distanced from everyone, particularly his family.

    What you see is not always what you get. What your eyes tell you is not always the whole truth. Sometimes there is more going on than you can see. Have you ever been tricked by an optical illusion? An optical illusion is something that, when you first see it, you think you know exactly ...read more

  • Smyrna: Some Things Money Cannot Buy Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 19, 2003
    based on 30 ratings
     | 3,901 views

    Money may actually distract us from Kingdom priorities. Some things money cannot buy are compassion for the needy, passion for the lost, and love for one another.

    I begin this morning with an invocation from my favorite poet, the bard of Baltimore, Ogden Nash, who addressed our favorite god in prayer: “Oh, money, money, money; some may think thee holy. But I cannot figure out how thou goest out so fast and how thou comest in so slowly.” Ogden Nash, ...read more

  • Thyatira: 'tis The Gift To Be Simple Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 3, 2003
    based on 31 ratings
     | 5,345 views

    True simplicity is a focus on the fundamentals of love, faith, service, and patient endurance. Getting caught up in theological guesses or emotional highs diverts us from "this one thing I do".

    Some things are so simple they are hard to understand! Some things are so direct and obvious that we don’t want to accept them as they are. We want to make them complicated. Have you ever tried to describe to someone how to tie a shoestring? It seems simple until you start to teach it. Left ...read more

  • Laodicea: Things Spoil At Room Temperature Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 16, 2003
    based on 55 ratings
     | 6,757 views

    The world will invade us with its values. But we are called to be "hot" to pursue such things as compassion and evangelism and "cold" toward such things as hostility and prejudice. We can sustain these values if we are connected to one another and to Go

    The Harlem Renaissance poet, Langston Hughes, speaks to me. I trust he also speaks to you. In fact, that is the very title of his poem! “To You” To sit and dream, to sit and read, To sit and learn about the world Outside our world of here and now – our problem world – To dream of vast horizons ...read more

  • Certainly -- At A Distance

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 18, 2003
    based on 36 ratings
     | 4,949 views

    For Good Friday: sometimes we no longer see things because we are too close to them. The disciples saw the cross "at a distance", but the centurion saw it through his callousness, cynicism, and skepticism, and affirmed, "Certainly".

    Sometimes when you are too close to something you cannot see it. Or at least you cannot recognize what it is. You can be so close that you do not know what you are looking at. You need somebody else to give you a fresh perspective. My wife and I buy grocery items when they are on ...read more

  • Nailprints Don't Lie

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 19, 2003
    based on 34 ratings
     | 3,678 views

    Thomas dealt with his loss by postponing his choices and by absenting himself from the community. We do the same; but the nailprints of our shame and our guilt tell the truth about us.

     We respond to loss in a variety of ways. There is no predicting how people will act when they lose something they cherish. I have seen everything from screaming and wailing to solid stoicism to outright laughter. I have conducted funerals where people have wept openly, and others ...read more

  • In A Better Place

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 26, 2003
    based on 21 ratings
     | 7,574 views

    For Remembrance Sunday, when we honor the memories of those who have died in the previous year: Those who suffer loss go to a better place emotionally when they cast off unproductive patterns and allow themselves time to receive unconditional love. They

    There is something we say to console ourselves when someone dies. It is a phrase I have heard over and over. We say,“I know she is in a better place.” My friend, my parent, my spouse has passed away, but it feels good to think of one truth: “He is in a better place.” By that, of course, ...read more

  • It Would Have Been Enough

    Memorial service sermon for Lillie Mae Scales Fontaine, who died on Easter Sunday

    Lillie Mae Scales Fontaine went through an open door on Easter Sunday morning. I cannot imagine a better time to die than that day, can you? Just imagine – on the very day when much of the Christian world is focused on an empty tomb and on the promise of life everlasting, Lillie Fontaine ...read more

  • "Endless Love" Is Not A Maudlin Song Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 4, 2003
    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,198 views

    Radical discipleship is self-giving for the sake of the world, and not self-satisfaction nor giving only to those who please us.

    When you learn to sing, you must learn to sing scales. Scales start with “do” on the low end and you step up until you get to “do” again, where the frequency exactly doubles the one where you started. That’s a scale. The syllables that you sing come from a medieval Spanish ballad. “Do re mi ...read more

  • An End To Childish Ways Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 4, 2003
    based on 111 ratings
     | 31,126 views

    (For Senior Adult Sunday) Children ask for things for themselves, think in limited terms, and believe they can escape responsbility. Mature people think in terms of love.

    “If I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.” And if I ...read more

  • Another Day, Another Millennium

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 4, 2003
    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,502 views

    If the Lord were to ask what we have done with the last millennium, we would have to report that we never learned peace instead of war or love instead of hate. Our agenda for the new millennium needs to be justice, peace, and mission.

    Here it comes again, the end of another year! How soon it gets here after Christmas! Isn’t it astonishing? Don’t you wish they could throw in another week or two before the end of the year? We need to get over the rush of Christmas before we have to face the year’s end? I know the Post Office ...read more

  • At The Last He Will Stand Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 8, 2003
    based on 46 ratings
     | 8,378 views

    We search for permanence through accomplishments, wealth, legacies; but Job discovered that he needed a Redeemer who would stand in his place and bring him a lasting relationship with God.

    Have you discovered that nothing which you call permanent really is permanent? Lots of things are called permanent, many things are described as lasting, but they aren’t. Not really. Not long ago I wanted to mark two plastic containers so that I could be sure they would stay permanently ...read more

  • Blessed Ignorance, Jesus Is Mine Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 9, 2003
    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,522 views

    We claim to know too much, as we want to make ourselves elite, we want to close off new ideas. Know nothing but the servant heart (a sermon for deacon ordination).

    The psalmist says, “He has put a new song in my mouth.” And so I took that very literally and composed a new song for church today. Do you want to hear me sing it? It’s called, “Blessed ignorance, Jesus is mine” You say you don’t think you know that one? You say you think I got that wrong? ...read more
