    Contributed by David Smith on Oct 24, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,831 views

    How can we hate our parents, partners and children? It has to be the most offensive exhortation Jesus ever gave - telling us that we have to hate the ones we love th most.

    As soon as I noticed that our Gospel reading today was the one that begins by telling us that we’ve got to ’hate our mothers and fathers’, I decided then and there to give my sermon today on Paul’s Letter to Philemon! No, as much as I’d like to do that, I feel I have to stick with "hate your ...read more

     | 12,962 views

    The Aaronic blessing is part and parcel of our Sunday liturgy. What does God do when he blesses us with those words? What do we receive from him in the Benediction?

    [Sermon preached on 27 May 2018, Holy Trinity Sunday / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Today, I would like you to turn to the Old Testament text. Here we find the benediction which I use to bless the congregation at the end of our worship service. As you can see, it is not a blessing that I made up ...read more

    God is our Shepherd, we are the sheep of his flock. Psalm 23 contains great promises for where we are going when life on earth is over. But it also gives a tremendous promise of comfort: On our journey God is always with us.

    [Sermon preached on 15 April 2018, 2nd Sunday after Easter (Good Shepherd Sunday) / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] We all have the need to think and talk about God in a more or less concrete way. Considering that God is a mystery deeper than the deepest ocean and vaster than the universe, that is ...read more

    Many Christians suffer from Spiritual Affective Disorder, because they do not allow their lives to be exposed to the light of God. "Bright light therapy" can bring their lives back on track. How can God's light change our lives?

    [Sermon preached on 4 February 2018, Candlemas / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] I have been living in Finland for more than thirty-five years now. And still, every year, I get affected by the winter blues. Days are so short, and the clouds are so thick, that some days it seems to me that the sun does ...read more

     | 2,346 views

    Deep Breathing John 20:19-23 So, here it is, the evening of the first Easter Sunday. What an insane week for the disciples. No wonder they were hiding behind locked doors.
