    Why Wikipedia beats printed encylcopedias. How doing the hardest thing (what's that?) can help lift our spirits when we are low. And how that fits not just with Jesus's saying about saltiness but with the rest of today's bible readings. A sermon from September 2015

    Have a taste of this [hand out teaspoon of salt to someone in the front row] “If salt loses it’s saltiness with what will you season it?” I have two things that I would like to draw out of today’s texts about ways in which we can lose our saltiness - one personal and one public.

    Psalm 63:1-11 teaches us about the believer’s trust in God, especially in times of adversity.

    Introduction I plan to continue our summer sermons on the Book of Psalms today. Since so many people travel during the summer, and there may not be regular continuity of worship participation each week, examining the Psalms is an excellent option because each Psalm stands on its own.

    We are commanded to pray for the Master to send forth harvesters into His harvest fields while we wait for His return. The message is a call for us to fulfil His charge.
