    Harmony And Fire

    Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Nov 19, 2022
     | 2,369 views

    Luke 12:49-53 is paradoxical. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, but in this passage, He says He is bringing division. This sermon explores how this fits with the overall message of Luke.

    Harmony and Fire I. TEXT: Luke 12:49-53 (NRSV) “I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, ...read more

    The Price Of Peace

    Jesus warns his followers that the consequences of following him will be painful and disruptive, and that they’d better be prepared for it.

    The disciples were confused. When the Messiah came, peace and righteousness would reign from one end of the earth to the other. All the prophets agreed. And if Jesus was the Messiah as they were all now pretty sure he was, he would be the one who brought it about. He would be the Prince of Peace ...read more

    Why is it important to use discernment.

    Discerning the Times Luke 12:49-56 The Revised Common Lectionary sometimes has a very awkward passage selection. In this case, the passage begins in the middle of a discourse by Jesus. If one has not read the previous portion of the discourse, one might not understand this passage as one ought. ...read more

    Many people think of Jesus being in the words of Charles' Wesley's carol. But he wasn't. He came to do the Father's will even if it ruffled feathers. And he may even set Father against Son, as I experienced myself

    You will probably recall that famous Anglican hymn writer Charles Wesley’s famous hymn that start with the words “Gentle Jesus meek and mild” You have to be kidding - as we see in the Gospel today!!

    The Blessings Of Hardships

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Aug 26, 2019
     | 6,057 views

    Jesus said he came to, "send fire on the earth." This sermon takes a unique approach on this idea and uses the fire metaphor as a purging of the things inside us that hinder us from becoming who we can be through God.

    The Blessing of Hardships Since this Gospel reading is intense, I thought I’d begin by admitting something kind of funny about it. When I read it this week, I pictured Jesus at a Charlie Daniels concert singing, “Fire on the mountain run boys run.” It also made me wonder, “… how am I supposed ...read more

    The Holy Spirit Of Witness And Division Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 21, 2018

    The Spirit empowers, but the Spirit also divides. Because the Holy Spirit causes us to change our lives, and to summon our family and friends to the Christian way of life, conflict often emerges in relationships.

    Thursday of the 29th Week in Course 2018 The phrase, “fire that Our Lord came to cast down upon the earth” is reminiscent of an encounter Jesus had in his earthly life with James and John, sons of Zebedee. Some town had refused hospitality to Jesus and the disciples, so those two asked Jesus for ...read more
