    Christmas Eve: There were so many things in the Christmas story that aren’t what they seemed to be. But God used them to bring salvation to the world!

    A visitor to the zoo noticed one of the keepers sobbing quietly in a corner. He asked, “What’s the matter with that poor man?” He was told that the elephant had just died. “Fond of him, was he?” the visitor asked. “No, it’s not that,” came the reply. “He’s the one who has to dig the grave.” Things ...read more

    How should a Christian react to being wronged?

    How To Do Right When You’ve Been Wronged Open: The title of my message this morning is: “HOW TO DO RIGHT, WHEN YOU’VE BEEN WRONGED” It happens to all of us at one time or another.

    Jesus And The Canaanite Woman

    This sermon addresses how Jesus ministered to the Canaanite woman when others, including Jesus’ own disciples, would have just brushed her off.

    JESUS AND THE CANAANITE WOMAN Text: Matthew 15:10-28 It seems that Jesus was indifferent toward this Canaanite woman who was in need of His help. Matthew 15:24 could give one that perception on the surface: "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Matthew 15:24 RSV). ...read more

    Jesus in Mt 18 offers us three routes to “conflict resolution” – similar in many ways to the three judicial routes that we have today. 1. The “ Out of Court” settlement 2. “Arbitration” in camera and 3. The full blown Confrontation in Open Court

    Sharrington/ Hunworth 08-09-02 Mt 18:15-20 Conflict Resolution This morning’s Gospel reading from Mt. 18 verses 15-20 is all about handling personal conflict in church. The text seen in isolation - reads rather like a legal manual on how to deal with someone else’s’ sin and what steps we need to ...read more
