    When Jesus rebuked the storm in the center of the Sea of Galilee he was showing us that Satan and evil can be beaten! Call upon Jesus' help in times of trial because the trials are a metaphor for evil.

    Last in my Baptism series. This sermon serves as a reminder of our baptisms.

    I love the story about the older couple that had trouble remembering common, day-to-day things. They both decided that they would write down requests the other had, and so try to avoid forgetting. One evening the wife asked if the husband would like anything. He replied, “Yes. I’d like a large ...read more

    The young man who lost his linen cloth and ran away naked may be a wealthy person, depending on status; or Lazarus, living in the past, or Mark, caught in immaturity. But He who dropped another linen cloth gives life.

    Not too many years ago, Easter was the day on which everyone trotted out new clothes. It was on Easter that spring dresses sprung off the racks for young girls, and starched collars irritated the necks of young men. I don’t miss the starched collars, but I do rather miss the elaborate display of ...read more

    Looking again at the First Church, another aspect that made them so effective was that they practice hospitality. It is more than sharing lemonade and cookies.

    Practice Hospitality Acts 2:43-47 Heb 13:2 Matt 25:31-46 The effective church practices hospitality. In Romans 12 Paul commends the Roman Christians to practice hospitality. Yet what is that exactly how do we practice hospitality? Do we: 1. Open our homes to take in strangers? 2. Do we work to ...read more
