  • Is It Worth Losing Everything Just For Heaven

    Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Sep 28, 2024
     | 890 views

    Life itself is wonderful. It is God's gift to us. But the life to come is even better. God has done everything to help us get there but the choice is ours and time is not on our hands.

    To cheer you up, lets start with a funny story: Week after week, a man came to his pastor with a big problem. He said “When I go to bed, I can’t sleep because I’m afraid of monsters under the bed. I know it’s silly, but I can’t help it.” The pastor said that is easy. Just pray every day, ...read more

    Why Wikipedia beats printed encylcopedias. How doing the hardest thing (what's that?) can help lift our spirits when we are low. And how that fits not just with Jesus's saying about saltiness but with the rest of today's bible readings. A sermon from September 2015

    Have a taste of this [hand out teaspoon of salt to someone in the front row] “If salt loses it’s saltiness with what will you season it?” I have two things that I would like to draw out of today’s texts about ways in which we can lose our saltiness - one personal and one public. One personal - ...read more

  • Twenty-Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B: "When In Doubt, Cut It Out.”

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 15, 2024
     | 796 views

    It is not hyperbole to say that it is better to enter heaven maimed [one-armed, one-footed, and one-eyed] than to enter hell whole. That is literally true.

    “When Jesus exaggerated” is a book title, and there are countless articles on how Jesus uses exaggeration and hyperbole for effect, like we hear this Sunday; to literally cut off your hand or foot or gouge-out your eyes because then you won’t sin with them.1 However, “it is not hyperbole to say ...read more

    It is important for us to have a Christian life that is on fire for God and we must make sure we do not put out our own fire or the fire of Christian ministries outside our own tradition or the fire of the little ones.

    Once upon a time I went camping. A few of us stayed up late and talked around the campfire. From time to time one of us would add some wood to the fire so the “fire wouldn’t go out” and the camp site would remain warm, secure, and lighted. If you haven’t noticed the camp fires of the Lord’s ...read more

    Hell is a place of truth, where the true nature of the human condition will be exposed. If God is holy, there must be a hell. Whereas heaven consists of "whosoever will", hell is a place of "whosoever won’t".

    Mark 9:38-50 “Just Let Jesus” Many of you are familiar with the blockbuster movie Rocky, in which a very muscular, physically fit, local Philadelphia guy, Rocky Balboa, fights the world’s heavy weight boxing champion Apollo Creed. In the first smash hit, Rocky fights Apollo for 15 rounds, but ...read more
