    The sermon​ looks at Luke's Parable of the weddings guests who compete for the best seat​ at the table. Jesus makes it clear that everyone should be invited (poor, lame etc.), not just the rich and powerful. Such is the kingdom.

    Everyone’s Invited To The Reception Intro If you've lived through a wedding you know, they are of all things most stressful. What few people realize is how stressful weddings are for the clergy. Although we will never say it with parishioners around, when clergy get together, we inevitably ...read more

    The Bible is overflowing with statements that teach us we gain or lose rewards in heaven based upon how we live here on earth. But, in order to enter more deeply into this subject, we need to understand some basics.

    Rewards Matter (1st in series) (Romans 2:6) 1. We tend to think that whatever is far ahead doesn’t matter that much, and that we will get by with whatever. 2.

    A look at God's call to be concerned for the vulnerable.

    Our Starting Point: “What’s best for me?” - We usually end up with a self-centered mentality. We look out for ourselves. And that is certainly encouraged within our society.

    Jesus uses a couple of etiquette lessons to teach true humility. The point is simple (and repeated throughout scripture): If we lift ourselves up, God will put us down. If we lift others up, God will lift us up.

    Luke 14:1, 7-14 Dare to Be Humble The Duke of Wellington once haughtily drew himself up to his full height and thundered to one of his staff officers, “God knows I have many faults, but being wrong is not one of them!” The best of us struggle with pride from time to time. In ...read more
