God has always been about light. His first words were, “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3). Israel sang that the Lord was their light (Psalm 27:1). In the future when God will take his rightful place as King of the World, the sun and moon will be redundant in the light of God’s glory (Isaiah Read more
It’s one of the most compelling stories in the Gospels. The religious leaders drag a woman caught “in the act” of adultery and publicly humiliate her before Jesus and his disciples. Jesus diffused the situation with truth and grace. If you think about it, we fit the shoes of each of the people in this Read more
After sneaking quietly into at a major feast, Jesus turned up the heat. At the climax of one of the three most important feasts of the Jewish calendar, Jesus stood up and cried out: If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘out of Read more
‘Twas the week before Christmas when all through my head Stirred the thoughts of the Season I’d now come to dread. The lights were all hung on the mantle with care And the tree was adorned with my usual flair. The cookies were nestled all snug in the freezer, All of their favourites ‘cause I Read more
I’ll start this message blurb the way the message ended. What’s the nicest thing you could ever imagine someone doing to you? Seriously, give that question a moment to sink in. Now, go and bless someone else in the same way without sharing your good deed with others. Sometimes we miss the simple things in Read more
I chose to speak on John’s gospel because it’s such a direct account of Jesus’ life . . . at least after you get through the prologue! John 1:1-18 is a highly stylized, almost poetic introduction to his Gospel. It presents Jesus not just as a baby in a manger, but as the co-creator of Read more
After a lot of thinking and praying, I’ve decided to launch a big project this fall: we’re going to read through the entire Gospel of John together as a church. Over the years, we’ve spent time in Ecclesiastes and Colossians, discussed Spiritual Gifts and Virtues, and examined the Life of Elijah, to name a few Read more
I love sunsets. A few years ago, while vacationing near Orlando, my husband drove me three hours to a little beach bistro in Boca Grande. He had been there earlier on a golf trip and wanted to show me the sunset. I watched translucent hues of violet blend with the fading blue of the western Read more
Normally on Palm Sunday your pastor would speak on . . . well, Palm Sunday. I decided to change things since we’ve spent the last five weeks looking at parables Jesus told after his initial arrival in Jerusalem. So, for this year’s Palm Sunday we looked at the Garden of Gesthemane. My goal was not Read more
Everyone likes a story with a good twist. M. Night Shyalaman is the master of this sort of story telling. If you’ve ever watched “Sixth Sense” or “The Village”, you know exactly what I mean. This third parable (in a row) that Jesus told to the Jewish leaders is a story with a twist. Just Read more
