    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Nov 30, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,255 views

    Jesus was found in his fathers house. The most uninspiring of all the stories, yet there is a Gospel message at its core, and the plan unfolding about Jesus’ ministry.

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s, Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 30th December 2012; St Oswald’s is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries. “Please join me in a short prayer from Psalms 19:14, and ” Let the words of my mouth, and ...read more

     | 15,609 views

    When we focus on Jesus Christ in our day-to-day lives, we discover purpose and meaning that outweighs the fear of suffering and death.

    [Sermon preached on 16 September 2018, 17th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Today, the topic for our sermon gets really serious. No more and no less than a matter of life and death: “To live is Christ, to die is gain.” The apostle Paul is dead serious—forgive me the ...read more

  • God Pours Out His Spirit

    On Pentecost, God reversed the process of division and confusion around the tower of Babel, as he poured out his Spirit. The Spirit gave the disciples words of praise and proclamation to speak in languages that all could understand. How does that Spirit work today in our lives and churches?

    [Sermon preached on Pentecost (Whit Sunday) / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Last Tuesday in our Bible study group, we studied the story about the first Christian Pentecost from Acts 2. It was a refreshing experience to hear someone read some verses in Chinese. Most of us could not understand them, ...read more

  • Going Home

    based on 2 ratings
     | 16,484 views

    Jesus promise to prepare us room in his Father's house. There is more to that promise than the idea of our souls going to heaven to be with God. What did Jesus try to tell his disciples?

    [Sermon preached on 22 April 2018, 3rd Sunday after Easter / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Last week Saturday I conducted a funeral. It was a bright sunny day. Mostly, when I attend a funeral the weather is gloomy, windy and cold. But over the years, I have also attended funerals of some very special ...read more

  • Satisfaction Guaranteed!

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,925 views

    Maslow claims that our physical needs for food, water etc. are the most basic and fundamental. But the Bible tells us that our spiritual needs are even more basic. And only Jesus, the Bread from heaven, can satisfy those needs.

    [Sermon preached on 11 March 2018, 4th Sunday in Lent / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Recently, a survey was held in the US among people from all ethnic backgrounds, cultures, religions, social strata and walks of life. One of the questions they were asked was: How satisfying or fulfilling is your ...read more

  • The Rejected God

    Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 22, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,946 views

    We can call ourselves Christians, go to church, give our tithes, etc. and yet have rejected God effectively. The picture Jeremiah gives of life in Judah comes close to life in the Christian West, with several gods competing for our loyalty.

    [Sermon preached on 4 March 2018, 3rd Sunday in Lent / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] It is so endearing at times to see little children in a big supermarket or shopping mall. They come in with mom or dad, but as soon as they see something interesting—toys, candies, pets, or anything else that ...read more

  • The Great Priority

    Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 22, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,036 views

    Jesus’ great priority was to proclaim the good news that God’s kingdom is at hand. When we pray the words that Jesus taught us: “Your kingdom come, your will be done,” that is when we align our priority in life with his great priority.

    [Sermon preached on 21 January 2018, 3rd Sunday after Epiphany / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Do you ever feel busy? Do you ever feel that you have more to do than you manage to get done? Do you ever feel that your day, your week, your month, or your year is too short? — I certainly do. Or do you ...read more

  • Be Patient!

    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,433 views

    Curiosity and greed are part of our DNA, patience is not. It is the fruit of the Holy Spirit and must be cherished and fed in order to grow in our lives. We must be patient with others and with God just as God is patient with us.

    [Sermon preached on 10 December 2017, 2nd Advent / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] I remember how as a young child I became very impatient when Christmas was drawing near. Not so much because of Christmas, but because I also had my birthday. Like most kids, I also had many things on my wish list. My ...read more

  • The Great Dilemma

    Contributed by Hans Krause on Nov 1, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,550 views

    Does our faith permit us to disobey the government or to evade taxes? Are Romans 13 and Acts 5 incompatible? How can we sincerely and creatively live as citizens of two kingdoms? What is the underlying principle that governs our choices?

    [Sermon preached on 4 November 2018, 24th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Some years ago, we needed to get a little home renovation done. I asked someone for a quotation. When he had given me the price, he added: “That’s without a receipt. If you want a receipt, I will have to ...read more

  • Living A Humbled Life (Palm Sunday) Version 2

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 22, 2021
     | 2,358 views

    When we become Christians, hopefully, we come to the realization of our own vanity when we realize how the world really does not revolve around us! The day will come when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

    LIVING A HUMBLED LIFE (Palm Sunday 2020) Text: Philippians 2:1-11 Philippians 2:5-11 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, (6) who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, (7) but emptied himself, by taking the ...read more

  • Get A Life

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 24, 2023
     | 1,339 views

    The life we get from Jesus, a gift from God through the Holy Spirit, requires cleansing and renewal daily, not just at the beginning.

    This familiar chapter from John’s Gospel is the lectionary text for today, the 2nd Sunday in Lent. It’s a good text, a familiar text, so familiar that when I first wrote it I expected it to be relatively smooth sailing. But it wasn’t. It was a difficult sermon for me to write, partly because it’s ...read more

  • Dancing With Wolves

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 17, 2023
     | 780 views

    The false prophets dance around the cost of discipleship, but dancing slippers don’t suit the hard road that leads to the narrow gate, and the wolves never warn their people that they need hiking boots instead

    I am trying to navigate the theological tsunami that is threatening to permanently alter the face of our denomination. The amendments to the constitution regarding ordination standards, diversity, inclusiveness, interpretation of Scripture, and so on, are incredibly important to our identity as a ...read more
