Seeds are small, but they turn into large plants. You may think a tiny word or deed is insignificant, but it always multiplies and grows into big consequences.

The Sin Of An Achan Heart

Contributed by Larry Turner on Sep 22, 2013

The sin of an Achen heart will deafen us, blind us to danger, lead us to sin, and bring shame and destruction to ourselves and others.

I was 18 years old when I stole my first and only item. I was a bagger at a local grocery store. The store had some small battery operated record players that played 45s. (For those too young to remember what 45s were, they looked like bid CDs with a hole in the middle.) Many of the record players ...read more

Noah: God's Preacher In The Midst Of Perverse Times

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 2, 2023

Noah and the ark (Genesis 6-8) like everything else in Genesis, is authentic history with an authentic warning to get right with God before it is too late. It is a call from God for us to repent and be saved from the wrath to come.

When we read about the events of Genesis, Chapters 6-8, we forget that this is not a children's story, but an actual historical event recorded by Moses dealing with the effects of sin upon the world and the fact of God's certain judgment. Noah's task was to not only build the ark ...read more

Between The Times

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 30, 2023

It is possible to live praising God even before we see his promised redemption.

At one point while preparing this sermon I was tempted just to read the article I picked for my closing illustration and sit down. It’s a sermon in itself, and illustrates exactly what I had to say about this passage of Isaiah. But after thinking it over, I felt that the least I could do was ...read more

Love & Justice (Joshua 12)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Feb 13, 2025

If God is the giver of life, is He alone just if He takes it? Let's begin in Joshua 12.

Does a loving God punish unjustly, or do we trust Him and His eternal perspective, that He has provided in some mysterious manner, in love and justice for all who have died innocent or guilty? Let’s begin in Joshua 12. As we read over this memorial list of conquered kings east of the Jordan River, ...read more

The End Is Near (Or Is It?)

Contributed by The Rev Deniray Mueller on Sep 6, 2019

there is only one thing that is eternal - God's love

(Luke 14:26) The Gospel we heard today is one of the numerous ‘apocalyptic’ verses foretelling the destruction and end of the world. Not a pleasant thing to have to preach about. . . . and not something that the average Episcopal Church lists among its favorite readings. We start out hearing ...read more

Will Christians Go Through The Tribulation Period? (Ix) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Mar 1, 2021

Matthew's prediction of the Abomination of Desolation is compared to Luke's account of the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. Rightly diving this portion of the Olivet Discourse is crucial to understanding end-time prophecy. The focus of this message is Matthew 24:15-31.

Last week we examined the first part of Jesus’s Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24:1-14. In that portion of the prophecy Jesus told us the conditions that would exist during this current age: deception, wars, pestilence, earthquakes, persecution, etc. In verse 8 He uses the metaphor of labor pains ...read more

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000

Jealousy is a receipe for self-destruction

In fact, you are acting like people who don’t belong to the Lord at all." (I ...read more
