    We have been forgiven in Christ for the sins that we have committed and confessed. But the underlying condition out of which these sins arise - what’s to be done about that?

    “Out, damned spot!” may be one of the most widely recognized lines Shakespeare ever wrote. I wonder why? In a more innocent age it might have been for the forbidden thrill of saying “damn.” But of course that doesn’t apply any more, does it. It’s one of the milder epithets available. If that’s the ...read more

  • Does The Lord Need Anything

    Contributed by Rich O' Toole on Jul 18, 2023

    Jesus enters Jerusalem

    Does the Lord Need Anything? Mark 11:1-14 The Gospel of Mark dedicated only ten chapters to the life and ministry of Jesus, but there are six chapters written about the events leading to Jesus’ Passion, Resurrection, and Ascension. The King of the Kingdom solidified His Kingdom on the Cross at ...read more

  • Attitude Adjustment

    How do you react when God seems to be unfair? Do you react with anger and impatience? Or do you persevere, with humility and trust?

    “Master, help me!” she cried, bursting past the astonished householder and throwing herself before the weary traveler. “I couldn’t stop her, Rabbi,” said his host, “shall I throw her out?” Jesus motioned him to be silent. The woman knelt before him in an attitude of utter desperation. “What do you ...read more

  • Hearing Problems

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 19, 2023
     | 861 views

    Are we afraid to ask what Jesus has in store for us, of what our future following him might look like?

    This was a very difficult sermon to prepare because this passage doesn’t really apply to you, at least not the way most preachers spin it. I can just hear the disciples arguing over who’s the greatest, can’t you? like a bunch of little boys bragging in the playground at recess, or kids ...read more

  • Stumbing Along

     | 984 views

    Unexamined assumptions can cause us to stumble over things we don't even notice.

    It’s a little disconcerting, sitting down to write a sermon on a passage that you’ve already preached on twice, to find that neither time did you say what you’d planned to say. Of course, only preachers have that problem... Maybe only 60-something preachers have that problem. But more generally, ...read more

  • Cut It Out

    We are always trying to blame our sin on something else - on someone else, on society, on circumstances. But Jesus says that what makes us sin is part of ourselves.

    I stopped watching TV news three or four years ago. But you have to know what's going on, somehow, so there are a few sources I've come to trust. But guess what? They're just as depressing as TV news. Because what is actually happening is worse than what you might imagine if you stayed ...read more

  • The Confrontational Jesus

    Jesus cleanses the Temple for the second time

    The Confrontational Jesus Mark 11:15-24 Good morning. Charles Wesley wrote a Hymn titled, “Gentle Jesus.” Part of the lyrics read, “Gentle Jesus, meek and mild, look upon a little child; pity my simplicity, suffer me to come to Thee. Lamb of God, I look to Thee; thou shalt my example be: thou art ...read more

  • Your Money Or Your Life?

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 25, 2023
     | 1,057 views

    Jesus asks us to hold ALL of God’s gifts lightly, to be ready to give them up, if necessary, to follow him. But it’s hard. And the more you have, the harder it is.

    Do any of you remember the story of the poor fisherman and his wife, who caught a magic fish, who granted them 3 wishes? Or Aladdin and his wonderful lamp (not the Disney version)? Or all the other fairy tales involving magic and wishes and unexpected consequences? When I was young I used to spend ...read more

    Jesus isn’t saying that ambition is a bad thing, or that they/we shouldn’t aspire to be great. He’s telling them/us that true greatness is something else.

    Ann Henderson came home from her doctor’s appointment looking much the same as usual. Maybe she was a little quieter, but not enough to cause comment. The whole family was home for dinner that night, for once. She was grateful. She would only have to say it once. She waited for a moment when nobody ...read more

  • The Way Of The Messiah: Deny Yourself, Take Up Your Cross, And Follow Me Series

    For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.

    Have you ever seen a star being born? Here we see a picture from the James Webb Space Telescope, of just such an event. From the STSI: “NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is celebrating the first anniversary of its start of science operations with this image of a star-forming region in the Rho ...read more

  • The Transfiguration Of Jesus: What Is The 'mountain Top Experience' Christians Talk About? Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 26, 2023
     | 797 views

    In the Bible we see various individuals who had spiritual experiences. Some of them include Jacob, who had a dream of a a staircase leading into the sky, Isaiah who saw God and was terrified.

    Have you ever had an experience in your life where you saw something beyond this world? These experiences are rare. We live in a physical universe and we experience life in the physical universe. But, we know there are many things that go beyond what can be perceived by our five senses. We know ...read more

  • What Is This Thing Called Love?

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 26, 2023
     | 1,299 views

    What is love, that we should know when we have it? Is love a feeling? a right? an instinct? What is love?

    Some enchanted evening you will meet a stranger across a crowded room. Neither of you has a clue what the other is like. But your heart rate goes up and your imagination goes into overdrive and, well, you know how it goes, right? Happily ever after is just around the corner. Is this love? On her ...read more

  • Give And Take

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 26, 2023
     | 924 views

    Givers trust in God, rather than in themselves; they are focused outward. Takers have not learned to trust in God and focus on their own needs.

    Anybody remember the televangelist scandals of the 80’s? Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Oral Roberts and his highly publicized plea for - what was it, $8 million? - to keep God from striking him dead. Remember the uproar in all the secular news media and the shame felt by so many evangelicals at being ...read more

  • Following The Crowd

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 26, 2023
     | 1,088 views

    The crowd in Jerusalem that day was made up of ordinary people, people like you, people like me.

    I wonder how many people in the crowd who shouted for Barabbas had also been in the crowd that shouted “Hosanna” a week before. Crowds had followed Jesus throughout his ministry. Crowds pushed their way into the little house in Capernaum so that the only way a paralyzed man could get to Jesus was ...read more

  • A Glimpse Of Glory – The Transfiguration Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jul 28, 2023
     | 1,990 views

    The transfiguration fits with the theme of what Jesus was trying to get over to his disciples, that he must die and they must be prepared. Jesus took three disciples and led them up the high mountain.

    Have you ever had what you would describe as a mountaintop spiritual experience? A time when you felt so close to God you just caught a glimpse of glory. If so, it may have been a very emotional experience. Our faith is not based on emotional experience, yet at the same time, when those times do ...read more
