    funeral sermon

    Mary Brandt May 13, 2006 I am constantly amazed at the ways in which people allow me into their lives. I often ask myself just who I am. I’m a guy who went to school – a long time. I jumped through a whole bunch of denominational hoops on the way to ordination. Then one day, the Bishop ...read more

    Reality And Symbols Of Reality Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jan 13, 2014
     | 3,324 views

    The salvation we have in Jesus is pictured for us in symbols, is based on forgiveness made possible through his atoning death, and ultimately results in an altered universe.

    Reality and Symbols of Reality (Colossians 2:11-15) 1. All of us know what it is like to search for something that is broken or wrong. 2. Perhaps your car won’t start: it is not the battery or alternator. What is it? 3. Somewhere you have a hole puncher; it is not with the stapler, ruler, ...read more

    Circumcision Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 22, 2024
     | 592 views

    Using OT Scripture, Paul proves in Romans 4:9-12 that circumcision is not a prerequisite for justification. Justification is by faith alone. Vital principles applicable today are taught in this passage of Scripture.

    Intro Romans 4 naturally divides into sections: 1. Justification is by faith, not by works (vv.1-8). 2. Justification by faith is not dependent on ritual (vv. 9-16). 3. The kind of faith that leads to justification is exemplified by Abraham (vv. 17-22). 4. Justification is available now for all ...read more

    The Baptism Of John Series

     | 4,459 views

    Re-baptism is a practice of some Baptist churches. This message looks at re-baptism in the New Testament, and discusses how when a person’s baptism is done under the wrong belief system, then the individual needs to be re-baptized.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “The Baptism of John.” We have recently been learning about baptism, and today, I am going to be discussing false baptisms; and the best way to present this message is by looking at what the New Testament refers to as “the baptism of John.” This was a ...read more

    Word And Eucharist Are One Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 13, 2009

     | 3,635 views

    The Gospel proclaims the divine reversal--the weak become strong by grace; thus also Word and Sacrament are the means by which weakness is strengthened.

    June 15, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis Here in the penumbra of the Feast of Corpus Christi, it is particularly helpful to reflect on what many have called “the great reversal.” The Gospel is one frequently quoted to show the power of nonviolent resistence. Go two miles when forced to go one. St. ...read more

    The Church’s song is two millennia old and is deserving of use and respect

    May 18, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis Acts 16: 11-21 and John 15: 21-27 When we listen to the Gospel of Luke and the Acts, and to the Gospel of John as well, we get the impression that the Holy Spirit was more active in the early Church than today. Paul was forbidden by the Spirit–probably warned by ...read more

     | 1,325 views

    God created mankind, and He gives us our being. Thus, we must not segregate on the basis of race or sex. Flowing from the knowledge of God's creation, and having given His Word, we discover that not all cultures are equal, though all people have opportunity to know God.

    “Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘To the unknown god.’ What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.

    The only thing with lasting value is a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, and the most important aspect of our lives is fostering that relationship.

    Intimate Value Text: Phil. 3:1-11 Introduction 1. Illustration: "Everything in this world has two aspects - how it looks at the moment, and how it will look in the time to come. The easy way may look inviting at the moment, and the hard way daunting.
