    Sometimes we just need to accept trials as mysterious and even surprising at times! Mysterious because of the nature of the trial and surprising because of what we get out of it.

    Designed for those who are seeking to indentify, listen to, and obey God’s voice and calling.

    As I write this sermon, I too admit that I have had times in my life where the Voice of God has been hard to discern. As I look back however, those times in my life are usually when there are so many other voices going on that I have trouble focusing in on what God is telling me. How many times ...read more

    Christian Courage

    Reflecting on Joseph of Arimathaea’s courage in stepping forward to bury Jesus, the sermon encourages Christians to be bold and courageous today.

    In the Episcopal Church, today is the feast day of Joseph of Arimathaea, one of the more obscure New Testament characters. All that is known for certain about Joseph comes from the Gospel narratives of Jesus’ burial. Though John speaks of Joseph as a secret disciple of our Lord, and associates ...read more

    In the scripture we read this morning (Luke 15:1-10), Jesus tells two parables that have to do with sought and found.

    Luke 15:1-10 The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about an urgent problem with the company’s main computer.

    It’s the age-old theological question - why do bad things happen to good people? Jesus, as ever, doesn’t give us the response we expect.

    They say that philosophy deals with two sorts of questions: * Questions to which everybody knows the answer (eg. Do I really exist?). * Questions to which nobody knows the answer (eg. Why do I exist?). Religious teachers tend to deal the same sorts of questions, perhaps particularly questions ...read more

    You’re probably heard the saying, “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”. You would think that Jesus could please all of the people all of the time. But he didn’t.

    You’re probably heard the saying, “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”. That sounds true from my experience. No one can please all of the people all of the time, but … if there ...read more

    The occupy Wall Street movement has missed the mark. It is faceless and pointless. People need Jesus as the center of life, a more abundant life.

    In recent days, I have watched protesters, anarchists and the homeless camp in our nation’s parks and sit outside businesses and city halls with signs of protest. What is their point, what are they doing? Let’s look at a typical day in the life of a protestor. 10AM get up, 11 AM smoke, 12 noon, ...read more

    With a modern twist, a Muslim Reporter travels to Jerusalem to Interview Jesus before His death and meets people touched by Jesus ministry on the way.

    John was in prison and needed to know if Jesus was really the person promised by God as the Messiah. I’m sure that he knew Jesus as hi cousin, but I wonder if he knew him as the Messiah. I’m sure that after baptizing Jesus he had to be convinced that Jesus was truly the One. Perhaps ...read more
