2526. The Tragedy of Caiaphas

John 18:1-27 · John 11:45-47 · Matthew 26:36-75

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... one flock and one shepherd.” (John 10:16) Greek theatre became an art form long before the first century. But in the first century it still flourished in the cities of the Roman Empire, including in Jerusalem. Here, Herod the Great had built an astounding open air theatre in the upper part of the city. There, the wealthiest of the Jews would attend Greek and Roman theatre performances. One of the most interesting of the Greek theatre genre is the tragedy. A “tragedy” is a play in which a “hero,” a ...

2527. House of God

Ephesians 2:1-10, Ephesians 2:11-22

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... (Luke 6:12 through 6:49) You Are Members of the Household of God Says Paul As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love ...

2528. God Powered Impact

Exodus 3:1-22

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... : “Who are you?” and “Who am I?” God’s presence seems to appear out of nowhere. One minute, he sees an ordinary landscape. The next, God’s fiery light and presence is exploding from that bush, just as God’s voice resounds through the quiet morning air: “Moses, I have heard the cries of my people.” And still gaping at the beaming bush, when God tells Moses to go out and rescue the people of Israel, Moses says immediately, “Who am I to do this?” You see, Moses thinks, he can’t possibly ...

2529. "Salt and Swaddle"

Luke 2:1-20 · 1 Samuel 16:1-23

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... . YHWH had promised them an everlasting “covenant of salt” in the line of David. A new king of Israel would be born in the line of David, a king who would bring peace, a king who would make things right again. The shepherds smelled it in the air. Something would happen soon. A child would be born. And there would be signs…. Signs, you say. Hmm. Does anyone believe in signs? How, you say, could these unlettered, lowly shepherds be so sure that this was the messiah? How in all of Bethlehem at that very ...

Genesis 19:1-29

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... into new places and situations. But the risk feels greatest when it is accompanied by the greatest loss. First you go. Then you know. You find your mission when you get there. Into the wild blue yonder (written in 1938…) was the official song of the air force. It gave a sense of adventure to those forging new trails, but it also helped to quell the palpable fear of risking death in order to fly in a fierce and dangerous war zone. Pioneers like Amelia Earhart and others…in medicine and in other fields ...

2531. Knitted Together from the Womb

Exodus 2:1-10

Sermon

Lori Wagner

“Il a l’air si paisible, endormi dans son couffin.” (He looks so peaceful sleeping in his bassinet.) We all start life grieving death. Or better put…We all go through life grieving the inevitability of death. And fearing when it will arrive. Maybe this is what leaves us so averse to risk. And ...

2532. Garden of Love

John 20:10-18, Song of Songs 4:1-16, Revelation 22:1-6

Lori Wagner

... . You become sweeter than pomegranates and more potent than all the spices of Palestine. When you walk with God in God’s heavenly Eden, God’s new Garden City, you become part of that ethereal, eternal covenant. Your soul blooms. Your being emits fragrances that fill the air as God’s breath wavers and wafts over you, just as God’s breath once urged the seas to form from the dark of the Deep. Just as Jesus breath fills you now. You long for it. You know you do. There is a beauty and a beckoning ...

Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? “And why do you worry about clothes? See how ...

2534. Rooted and Rebooted

Psalm 126:1-6, Luke 13:31-35, 2 Samuel 15:13-37

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... and lament over those lost to us the promise of resurrection life, and the salvific reminder that God will always have a people, that from out of the root, a branch will continue to grow until a tree emerges that can house all the birds of the air and the beasts of the field. For God always prevails. On the Mount of Olives each year, Jewish people will gather around the graves of their ancestors, not just to remember those who were lost to them, friends and family, but to restore and remember their own ...

2535. Calling All Wide Receivers!

Luke 2:8-20

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... players in the game is the “wide receiver.” Wide receivers are the guys hovering out there along the periphery of the field, ready and able to receive the ball if the quarterback throws it their way. They are the guys who can leap high in the air and catch the ball with one hand, then run with it, dodge tacklers in their path, and try to gain as much ground as possible while dragging tacklers hanging all over them. The receiver is one of the most important positions in the offensive side of the ...

John 4:1-26

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... of explosives and drilling machines have made mining a high tech business, creating subterranean mining caverns up to 2.5 miles deep with a temperature of 138 degrees Fahrenheit, necessitating cooling devices and oxygen just to tolerate the temperatures and lack of air closer to the earth’s core. But the fascination with what lies beneath the ground is not merely practical. In early times, Christians would build underground crypts and hiding places where they could be safe, worship, and bury the dead. And ...

2537. Against the Grain

Mark 3:13-19, Isaiah 28:1-29

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... us to Him and keeps us always unafraid of the road ahead. We are the seeds. We are those who have gone against the grain, who live going against the grain, who test ourselves in the wind, who always have one foot on the ground and another in the air. Those who “go against the grain” who are willing to dare to enter into that chaff ridden world are the pearls of Jesus’ kingdom. May your faith always be your guide. May Jesus always be at your side. [You may opt to sing “Blowin in the Wind”] *ancient ...

2538. The Tempest

Jonah 4:1-11, Jonah 3:1-10, Jonah 2:1-10, Jonah 1:1-17

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... a whale to reflect upon and wrestle with his inner feelings? Or as in Where the Wild Things Are, does he fall overboard and experience a period of unconsciousness before waking on the shore in a “different place?” Like every story, it leaves us with an air of mystery. But in either case, Jonah experiences a time of inner meditation and soul searching, as he wrestles with his feelings of anger and his feelings about justice for the Ninevites. Jonah is angry with God. He wants to escape both God and his ...

2539. Don’t Just Do Something, Stand There!

Matthew 17:1-13

Sermon

Dean Feldmeyer

... Obama that blamed the president for Mr. Cerpok’s plight and said that the poor man would probably now have to take a second job just to stay afloat. But, wait for the whole story — FactCheck.org spoke with Cerpok a month after the TV report aired, and things have changed. Come to find out, because Mr. Cerpok didn’t agree with the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare) he never actually looked on the federal exchange to see if he was eligible for a different health plan. Had he done so he would have ...

2540. Hold Me When I'm Angry

Joshua 5:1-12

Sermon

Carl Jech

... they are full of love and thankfulness toward God for the miracle of this manna - thought by some modern scholars to be the honeydew excretions of scale insects, plant lice and other insects ... secretions which rapidly turn into drops of sticky solids in the dry desert air. But in the book of Numbers, chapter eleven, verse six they begin to complain bitterly that "there is nothing at all but this manna to look at." In reaction to this fickle love-hate attitude on the part of his children, we read that "the ...

Sermon

King Duncan

... of eighty five miles per hour into a pitch dark tunnel. Naturally Nathan loved it . . . and Mark Roberts loves his son Nathan. So . . . that particular day Roberts with a certain amount of apprehension found himself hurtling at breakneck speeds hundreds of feet in the air aboard a roller coaster named Goliath. But guess what, Roberts discovered he felt a great feeling of freedom as he rode on Goliath—freedom to enjoy the ride, freedom to feel the rush of the wind, freedom to enjoy the dips and turns, and ...

2542. Apostles of Hope

John 20:19-23, John 20:24-31

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... , for even one of their own inner circle had betrayed Jesus, had taken a bribe and had turned him in. They barely trusted each other. They were disillusioned with the mission they thought Jesus had been preparing them for. With their rabbi gone, the air had gone out of their balloon, and they sat defeated, paralyzed, not sure what to do next. As they hid away mourning and grieving both friend and purpose, Jesus appeared among them within the locked room. And their lives suddenly changed. Like a “virtual ...

Matthew 13:1-23

Sermon

King Duncan

... good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” Imagine a farmer in those days planting seed. He wouldn’t have had sophisticated technology like some farmers have today. Did you know that John Deere now offers an air-conditioned tractor equipped with a GPS guidance system? Boy, wouldn’t farmers in days gone by want to have one of those? Have you read that this year self-driving tractors are supposed to hit the market? None of these, of course, were available when ...

2544. Seeing Through the Eyes of Jesus

Matthew 14:13-21

Sermon

King Duncan

There is something exciting about someone finding a previously undiscovered treasure. Last week we told about a U.S. Air Force veteran who bought a Rolex watch that turned out to be an astounding investment. Works of art can do the same thing. In September of last year, a French woman took an old painting to an auction house to determine its worth. Previously, the woman had the painting hanging ...

We travel together, passengers on a little spaceship, dependent on it's vulnerable reserves of air and soil, all committed, for our safety, to it's security and peace. Preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work and the love we give our fragile craft.

Adlai Stevenson

Lovers of air travel find it exhilarating to hang poised between the illusion of immortality and the fact of death.

Alexander Chase

A neurotic is the man who builds a castle in the air. A psychotic is the man who lives in it. And a psychiatrist is the man who collects the rent.

Anonymous

There is no absurdity so palpable but that it may be firmly planted in the human head if you only begin to inculcate it before the age of five, by constantly repeating it with an air of great solemnity.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Wealthy men can't live in an island that is encircled by poverty. We all breathe the same air. We must give a chance to everyone, at least a basic chance.

Ayrton Senna

Even in your thought, do not curse the king, nor in your bedchamber curse the rich; for a bird of the air will carry your voice, or some winged creature tell the matter.
