    based on 119 ratings
     | 10,048 views

    When a cross or trial comes our way we’re often left wondering like Peter, "What was He thinking when He allowed this to come on me?" However, Jesus’ own cross story helps us to see that in the midst of it all, He’s still thinking of you and me.

    Pentecost 15 A Matthew 16:21-26 What Was He Thinking? 09/01/02 There’s a television commercial currently running that shows a guy going off a tall waterfall in a kayak.

    Most everyone is willing to agree, there’s sin in the world. The daily news makes this obvious. So, yes, there’s sin in the world, but the Scripture is not saying, "There’s sin in the world", but rather, "All Have Sinned!"

    All Have Sinned A Sermon by Dr. Neil Chadwick Most everyone is willing to agree, there’s sin in the world. The daily news makes this obvious. Here are but a few examples of news items this week: A 23-year-old man has been charged with murdering three young brothers who were killed ...read more

    Would You Too Reject Him?

    Contributed by John Herrmann on Oct 4, 2002
    based on 44 ratings
     | 6,519 views

    In the parable of the vineyard and the "rejected cornerstone of Christ", we see how an ever near and patient God reveals himself in Creation and redemption -- working through the Holy Spirit to keep us from rejecting him.

    It would seem the vineyard image is appropriate for this time of year. I’ve read that the Napa Valley is expecting a great crush this year. In Amador County, here in California, there is weekend tasting and festivities in honor of the harvest vintage. Maybe some of our people are there right ...read more

     | 8,845 views

    To make the affirmation "I am Baptised" is to bring the reality of our baptism into the present making us vitally aware that we are Children of God, disciples of Christ and members of the Church.

    Sermon for the Baptism of Our Lord I am Baptised! Apparently Martin Luther, the great 16th figure of the reformation used to take great comfort from these words. When it seemed to him that the whole church had left the precepts of the Gospel, when he was under scrutiny from Church officials as to ...read more
