    This is a good message for the end of the summer in that it speaks of accomplishment and productivity over a period of time. Was it a wasted summer or an unproductive life up to this point?

    April, 2007 “Making Hay While the Sun Shines” John 9:1-12 “...we must do the work of him who sent me” (v. 4).

    In the Anglican Church, we do not have altar calls, spelled “A-L-T-A-R”, but Jesus always issues an altar call, spelled “A-L-T-E-R”. He calls on us to change our lives for a better fit. He calls on us to change habits that drag us down.

    John 1:1-17 is John’s version of the nativity story. It doesn’t begin with shepherds and angels and a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger. John’s nativity story takes us back to the beginning of creation and time, and it echoes the creation story in Genesis. In ...read more
