Don't Offend My Children, Or Else

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Sep 21, 2021

Even as Jesus suffered offense at the hands of others, every Christian shall likewise suffer. How we respond to this offense is important.

Don't Offend MY Children, or Else! Mark 9:38-50 It is a bit odd that this week’s gospel text from the lectionary begins with John’s response to what Jesus had just said. It is poor practice to start in the middle of a paragraph. Before we can analyze this text, we need to ask: “What was John ...read more

Jesus And His Surprising Teachings About Service Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 13, 2014

We all want to feel like we matter in some way, and sometimes that can take the form of “other people do not matter.” Jesus taught that everyone matters. Success in his eyes is very different from the world’s view of success.

Keep Your Salt Levels High Series

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Sep 28, 2024

Why Wikipedia beats printed encylcopedias. How doing the hardest thing (what's that?) can help lift our spirits when we are low. And how that fits not just with Jesus's saying about saltiness but with the rest of today's bible readings. A sermon from September 2015

Have a taste of this [hand out teaspoon of salt to someone in the front row] “If salt loses it’s saltiness with what will you season it?” I have two things that I would like to draw out of today’s texts about ways in which we can lose our saltiness - one personal and one public. One personal - ...read more

Stumbing Along

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 19, 2023

Unexamined assumptions can cause us to stumble over things we don't even notice.

It’s a little disconcerting, sitting down to write a sermon on a passage that you’ve already preached on twice, to find that neither time did you say what you’d planned to say. Of course, only preachers have that problem... Maybe only 60-something preachers have that problem. But more generally, ...read more
