    Have you ever thought of what difference a word of compassion, encouragement, or affirmation can make in someone else's life? This sermon calls us to recognize others' needs and to show our love for them in the appropriate love language.

    [Sermon preached on 26 August 2018, 14th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Somehow, widows have been on my mind this past week. Last Tuesday, I was contacted by a woman whose husband had just died. She asked me to arrange the funeral. That same day, I read the Bible readings for ...read more

     | 7,022 views

    What is the Bible? And what to do with it? This sermon dives into the question of divine inspiration and the dual divine-human character of the Holy Scripture. God's word is alive and active, and it continues to speak to us personally whenever we open the Bible and our hearts.

    [This sermon was preached on 1 July 2018, Apostles' Sunday / 3rd yea, ELCF Lectionary] What is the Bible? And what to do with it? These are the two questions that the Apostle Paul is trying to answer in 2 Timothy 3:14–17. These were very relevant and very critical questions in the church that ...read more

    Transformed From Trash To Treasure

    We cannot go back in time to change the course of our lives up to this day. But we can go to Jesus to be transformed and to have our future re-directed. Jesus takes what is trash and turns into his precious treasure.

    [Sermon preached on 17 June 2018, 4th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Have you ever wanted to go back in time? To go back to a point in time in your life just before something bad happened to you—something that you could have avoided? And you think: “If I had only thought ...read more

    Follow Jesus!

     | 12,191 views

    As kids we sang: "I have decided to follow Jesus. No turning back!" But is that the reality of our adult lives? Are we willing to deny and sacrifice ourselves and all we have for Christ's sake?

    [Sermon preached on 3 June 2018, 2nd Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] When I was a kid—I think I was eight years old at the time—I attended a Summer Bible Camp. I will never forget it, for many reasons. In particular, I remember how at the end of the day’s program, we always ...read more

    Salt And Light

     | 13,812 views

    We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We are not called to withdraw from public life into our safe and cozy Christian circles. We are called to make a difference in a world full of darkness, fear, violence, and foolishness.

    [Sermon preached on 21 October 2018, Reformation Sunday / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] We sing it almost every Sunday in church with the kids: “This little light of mine—I’m gonna let it shine. Everywhere I go, I’m gonna let it shine.” But I wonder how many of us really think about what we sing. ...read more

    In Psalm 96, the Psalmist gives four commands and backs up each command with a reason for their obedience. Psalm 96:1-13 shows us the coming of the Lord to rule as king over all the earth.

    Scripture Today is the Third Sunday of Advent in 2021. We continue in our sermon series, “Christ’s Advent in the Psalms.” On this Third Sunday of Advent, I want to examine Psalm 96.

    Living In Community

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 9, 2021
     | 2,242 views

    How did the people in today’s text handle their material things and wealth? Did they withhold any resources? Today we will look at the greed, grace and how strong their grip is in our lives.

    LIVING IN COMMUNITY Acts 4:32 – 35 Acts 4:32-35  Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common.  (33)  With great power the apostles gave their testimony ...read more

    Is Our Faith Blind ? Part I Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Feb 20, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,572 views

    This sermon is basically a defense of God's holy word. Our faith is not blind because we have a love letter from God explaining in great detail who He is and what kind of relationship we are to have with our Creator.

    IS OUR FAITH BLIND – PART I Atheists Question: Isn’t faith in God blind? After all, what evidence is there that a God you cannot touch or see actually exists? You might begin speaking to atheists by mentioning the fact that the Bible is a personal love letter from God in which our ...read more

    The nativity scene with the Shepherds and Angels, yet it is an introduction to the Kingdom of God and hope for the year to come.

    This sermon was delivered to Holy Trinity Church in Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 31st December 2023 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). “Please join me in my prayer.” Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O ...read more

    How much of what God wants us to hear have we actually heard? And does it matter how much we hear if we don’t do what we’re told?

    Have any of you visited the Trump Plaza in Atlantic City? That’s what I kept thinking of as I meditated on this parable. Because just as I was leaving Presbytery last Tuesday evening, I ran into Bob Higgs, who is Executive Director of the Atlantic City Mission Council. He was carrying several ...read more

    Psalm 26 – "Listen, Linger, Lounge” Will Fail The Test And It Is All Over Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 5, 2022
     | 1,874 views

    One must be on guard in the Christian life. The slide downwards begins with listening or taking note, then standing to observe more, and then sitting in the place of that sin. The message examines the first five verses of Psalm 26. A heart before God is what we must have.

    PSALM 26 – “LISTEN, LINGER, LOUNGE” WILL FAIL THE TEST AND IT IS ALL OVER Today we will be looking at the first 5 verses of Psalm 26, one of the Lectionary readings for today. (This message was given one Sunday morning in Boston, England, where I had been invited to share in a teaching ministry ...read more

    Jesus is God in the flesh. He wants us to believe in Him and for people to submit to His authority with genuine faith.

    “The Authority of Jesus” John 2:18-25 One Sunday a visitor showed up: - to a more formal, liturgical church - than he was used to attending. The church was so quiet you could hear a pin drop: - That made it even more obvious - when this visitor got excited about something the minister said and ...read more

    I’m so grateful that King Jesus is a shepherd who loves and guides his flock - those who have submitted their lives to Him. John 10 offers an extended teaching of Jesus in his role as our shepherd.

    Follow the Good Shepherd   John 10:1-14 Introduction In 2 Samuel 5:1-5, there is a story of victory and celebration.

    On The Way To Jerusalem

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on May 10, 2015
     | 10,630 views

    A perspective on Luke 19: On the road to Jerusalem, Jesus stopped to give life to others according to their needs. Jesus teaches that we all need to stop from time to time and give life to someone in need. In this way we live in his kingdom.

    On The Way To Jerusalem Introduction “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord” (v.38), so shouted the expectant crowd that surrounded Jesus as he made his way to Jerusalem. The subject of that verse clearly expresses a major theme of chapter 19. The Gospel writer, Luke ...read more
