    Both spirit and body are trained in the liturgy for the Resurrection existence

    St. Anthony of Padua 13 June 2011 Spirit of the Liturgy The feast of San Antonio de Padua, patron of our city, leads us to focus on the deep humility of this amazing member of the then-young Order of Friars Minor, the Franciscans.

  • Peace Work

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 10, 2011
     | 2,812 views

    Making peace is hard work; having peace is a gift from God.

    Making peace is work. Hard work. And it’s not cheap, either. Can you imagine President Bush offering a cabinet post to Al Gore? And if you can imagine that, can you imagine Gore accepting the offer? And yet that’s almost exactly what has just happened in Israel, with ...read more

    Righteousness greater than that of the Pharisees isn't about behavior: it's about bone-deep transformation.

    We’ve been shocked and horrified once again this week at the shooting of children by children, from Santee CA to next door in Pennsylvania.

  • Murder Mystery

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 10, 2011
     | 4,754 views

    Anger, the impulse to destroy, is the direct opposite of love, the force which gives life. This is why anger is equivalent to murder in the eyes of God, who looks on the heart.

    Have you ever caught yourself looking at your reflection in a shop window? I have to confess that I sometimes do. Or maybe you're not that vain, or not as self-conscious. Maybe you're one of those blissfully secure people who (once you get your clothes on) never give your appearance another ...read more

  • Promises, Promises Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 11, 2011
     | 4,461 views

    The system of sexual morality which begins with God operates on three levels, in three dimensions. First it binds the individual, then the couple, and finally the entire society. And each dimension reflects something of the nature of our Creator.

    So what is all this fuss over marriage about, anyway? And why shouldn’t any two people who love each other be given the blessing of church and state? Come to think of it, why should it be limited to two people? After all, David had any number of wives, at least 8 that we know of not ...read more

  • Thy Kingdom Come

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 11, 2011
     | 3,613 views

    Responding to unfairness and disrespect with grace and generosity imitates God’s own treatment of us, and requires three preconditions: realism, humility, and trust.

    I had a difficult decision to make this week. I had to choose between continuing my series on the Sermon on the Mount, or take a break to preach on Palm Sunday. But the more I looked at the passage for this week, and meditated on Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem that long-ago Sunday afternoon, ...read more

  • Present Perfect

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 11, 2011
     | 3,655 views

    Our behavior should reflect our relationship with the perfect God, rather than our relationships with imperfect people.

    Once upon a time, long long ago, in a galaxy far far away, that passage from Matthew changed my life. Well, it wasn’t another galaxy, exactly, but it was certainly another world. And it certainly feels like a longtime ago. I started working for the Pillsbury Company over 30 years ago. ...read more

     | 8,581 views

    What lasting impression will we leave to other generations of Christinas that come after us?

    LASTING IMPRESSIONS Text : Matthew 5: 13 - 20 Someone (Bill Crowder) gives us a snapshot of history as he relates an impression that has lasted over 1,500 years. “Caerlon is a Welsh village with deep historical roots. It was one of the three sites in the ...read more

  • The Misunderstood Meek Series

    Contributed by Kevin Cummins on Jun 16, 2011
     | 6,692 views

    Most people think that meek is a person who is a pushover, a person who other people can force their will upon them. They see someone who is meek as spineless and maybe even a coward. This sermon examines what it really means to be meek.

    Today we continue on in our series on the Beatitudes. Last week we looked at the attitude “Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted.” We talked about the fact that it is good to mourn our own sin and shortcomings in our life. When we have sinned or have sin in our ...read more

  • Private Viewing

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 16, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,028 views

    Piety should not be on public display; this doesn't mean that Christianity should be practiced in private.

    An old joke says, people would be equally shocked if they saw Christianity doubted or saw it practiced. Of course nowadays lots more people openly doubt Christianity than they used to, but I don’t think many more people openly practice Christianity than they used to. At least not in this ...read more

    The Beatitudes are the declaration of God's blessing in our lives

    “Be” – Matthew 5:1-12 Confess that I am intimidated to preach about the beatitudes, because it does feel a bit like climbing a mountain, and I know how out of shape I am. Where do you start? How will we make the journey? These simple words are profound in their depth and their ...read more

  • Repeat After Me

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 18, 2011
     | 3,872 views

    Repetition isn’t rote; it’s practice. All of these words become part of us, digging deep into our hearts and minds, helping to form in us habits of thought and action that honor God, that put God first.

    Everything in this sEverything in this service is old hat. We know the Apostles Creed so well that many of us don’t have to use the worship notes except to remember to say "sitteth" instead of "sits." I chose the most commonly used prayer of Confession in the English language. The 23rd Psalm is ...read more

    A kingdom is better than a democracy - if the king is God..

    What is a kingdom? Why would anyone want one? Isnt democracy the cure for everything? One of the words that the religious left uses to put down traditional interpretations of Scripture is "patriarchal." As if just because a system is run by a single male person it must necessarily be a bad ...read more
