    God knows us intimately because He entered our common life in the person of Jesus and gives even those who lives on life’s margins opportunity to mediate God’s love.

    Psalm 139:1-5, 12-17 Page 794, BCP Domine, probasti 1 LORD, you have searched me out and known me; * you know my sitting down and my rising up; you discern my thoughts from afar. 2 You trace my journeys and my resting-places * and are acquainted with all my ways. 3 Indeed, there is not a word ...read more

    The final sermon in a series on the seven sayings of Christ from the cross.

    You are not really prepared to live unless you are prepared to die. Death is inevitable. It is an appointment, and only God knows the hour. That is why it is wonderful to be a Christian. You can have confidence in life because you are ready for death. In these verses, we learn how our Lord ...read more

    Sometimes in our lives and in the life of a church there are things that God wants us to leave behind, and until we do we cannot embrace the powerful promise of the future.

     | 4,086 views

    Though the suffering that the Christian endures in life is nothing by way of comparison to the glory that awaits him (8.18), God does not leave him without help. The Spirit helps him in his weakness. Even if the primary weakness Paul has in mind is that o

    O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

    Shamgar is only mentioned twice in the book of Judges - in out text and in 5:6-7. Shamgar’s story almost seems incidental, but because he was too important to be omitted he is included in the Scriptures.

    It’s not much, but you can have it! Judges 3:31 Israel should have been fully enjoying the Promised Land but their inconsistency in obeying God and their imitation of the idolatrous culture around them led to failure. Israel had a habit of turning from God. Whenever they did so God would ...read more

     | 11,175 views

    Why ‘work’ instead of ‘activity’ of prayer or ‘picnic’ of prayer? Why does ‘prayer concert’, or ‘prayer vigil’ sound so gray and bland? The answer is obvious. Prayer is hard work! It is rewarding; it is life-changing; but it is hard.

    We continue today on our topic, “Learning to serve in a Service-less Age”, more specifically looking at “The refurbished Life”. God refurbishes our lives, in part, through “The Habit of Prayer”. I confess my struggle with this topic. It is complex yet simple. So complex that we will not even begin ...read more
