    The "Faith Hall of Fame" shows us how we recognize faith -- not by the success or failure of those who have it, nor by their joy or sadness, but by the way they clothed their faith in works.

    18th Sunday in Trinity Hebrews 11:1-39 "How do you recognize faith?" Many years ago, a pornography case came before the United States Supreme Court. Justice Potter Stewart said this: “I shall not today attempt further to define [obscenity]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly ...read more

  • Love And Dogma

    Contributed by William Mouser on Aug 2, 2006
    based on 10 ratings
     | 2,665 views

    The Bible, particularly Jesus, puts together two ideas which the world would always keep seperate: love and dogma. This sermon argues they must always go together.

    Psalm 33, Isaiah 45:11 – 19, 1 John 4:7-21, John 15:9-17 The Bible puts two things together that modern man would never in a million years put together. We see them both in the gospel and the epistle appointed for today. On one hand there is something in both the gospel and the epistle which ...read more

    Psalm 47, Exodus 28:1-4,9-12, 15-21, 29-30, 1 John 5:9-15, John 17:11b-19 The Language of the Church I read a lot of blogs focused on Bible and theology. Something I read this week dovetails nice with our Lord’s words in the gospel lesson appointed for today. There is an online version of a ...read more

    In feeding the 5,000, Jesus sets a pattern for his disciples’ future ministry.

    Feeding the 5,000 Jesus’ miracles are commonly understood to prove his divinity. And without a doubt many of the miracles that Jesus performed were signs intended to validate his identity and his mission. We can think, for example, of the first miracles recorded in Mark’s gospel. They were ...read more
