    One of my favorite YouTube personalities is Joe Scott ("Answers With Joe). I like him because he is a humble man who explains the deep things in understandable ways... but he also shared that he struggled with questions that made him skeptical - such as why God "needed" our offerings.

    OPEN: “YouTube” is a site where people can post videos they’ve either made or like, and some of those videos are grouped into “channels” (like a TV channel).

    In my 67 years of life, I have learned that the things that you really want out of life must be worked for. My parents had a great marriage, and I wanted that for my life.

This year we celebrated our 46th year of marriage because we chose to work at making our marriage work. In ministry, I had this idea when God calls a ...read more

    Why do we doubt God’s ability to answer our prayers? Is there more to our prayers than we know? Is there more to us than we know? Do we know that God is already working his will through us? Are we grateful, possibly not?

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 6th April 2014 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). Summary: Why do we doubt God’s ability to answer our prayers? Is there more to our prayers than we know? Is there ...read more
