    In this weeks sermon we continue in Luke 6 in our talk of kindness by focusing on how we respond to others - do we pick on them ,condemn them, or just use them to get what we want.

The Kindness Tab: We share peace We share hope and love We share faith - in God and even in others So we conspire to give away kindness purposefully, to seek for opportunities of kindness So we conspire to be “un-satisfied” in our kindness - we are ...read more

This is not that sermon. Inspired by our set lectionary readings, for better or worse, I have ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,248 views

    We’ve all heard stories about the one that got away and other kinds of fish stories. God wants us to tell our fish stories, our fishing for people stories, not the exaggerated ones but the ones that show God at work in our lives.

    I love fish stories. I have always thought it fun to hear folk talk about the fish they have caught or the one who got away. Most all of us have heard fish stories of some kind or another during our lifetime. Some of them are very believable and others, well let’s just say that the exaggeration ...read more

    based on 14 ratings

    Jesus tells a timeless tale of a man traveling a trecherous trail. Three hearts are found in this story: the hateful heart, hurried heart, and helpful heart.

    The Loving Neighbor Robert Frost once wrote one of America’s most beloved poems. Since Mr. Frost left it untitled, some have called it The Road Not Taken, others call it The Road Less Traveled—I guess it’s a matter of perspective. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood And sorry I could not travel ...read more
