Which type of soil is your faith planted in? For many I am afraid that they are not planted in the good soil.

“Parable of the Sower” Introduction It seems odd to me that all Christians respond differently to God’s Word. It is weird to me that we can all come to church and hear the same sermon and even sit in the same pew, but some take something away from it and others don’t. We all respond differently ...read more

’I do not box as though beating the air’ - the little known fight career of St Paul! ...

Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win it.

Compassion comes first with Jesus.

The gospel writers did not record for us every moment of the life of Christ. At the end of his account, John tells us that “...there were also many other things which Jesus did...”.

I wonder how many people were here when we first sat down to work on a Parish Plan. I don’t think there were many of you around back then, though most were when we reviewed that plan a few years ago.

Recently I saw a cartoon with Adam and Eve both eating apples. They are obvious startled by a billboard with a large apple and the international sign of “no”, a red circle with a line through it, and the words above reading “Just Say No”. Adam says, “Where was that billboard ten minutes ago.” ...read more

During the first Gulf War in 1990 and 1991 I noticed that many pastors in our communities changed their preaching during the conflict. No matter what they’d been preaching about prior to the conflict, it seemed like pastors throughout our nation decided that the conflict in Iraq would be a great ...read more

Jesus offered the people in the syngogue at Nazareth ’the Year of Jubilee’ - release from the bondage that the fall of man has brought but they refused to accept it.

THE YEAR OF JUBILEE We’re going to have to use our imagination this morning/evening.

Marriage is a wonderful gift from God to humankind. When we live and love up to the promise of marriage it really is a taste of heaven.
