The blessings of Simeon by the Spirit and the love of Mary.

I am not a traditionalist in some things as you can probably imagine. The traditional way to write a sermon is to find your biblical text, write the sermon and then pick the title.

Temptation - Fasting - Lent - Temptation - Forgiveness

Our text today tells us that Jesus was fasting. It should be obvious that I am not an expert on fasting, but I can answer a couple common questions. Should we fast? Jesus never commands us to fast, but he assumes that we will. In Matthew 6:16 he says “When you fast” not “If you fast”. “When you ...read more

We tend to take Christmas lights for granted. They're so common and so much a part of Christmas that we don't often give them much thought. But how tragic if we neglect the most important light of the season.
