Sermon
John B. Jamison
The crowds had been coming constantly. A lot had happened since the day Jesus spoke to the group on the hillside by the sea. His reputation had grown, and he knew that meant that his time was growing shorter. So Jesus got Peter, James, and John, three of his first disciples, and as they had done several times before, he led them out to a place away from everyone where they could be alone and pray. In the past, they had gone up north to Caesarea, and they had taken shorter trips into the wilderness to the ...
3077. For Someone Who Led a Happy and a Virtuous Life
Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 · Matthew 25:31-46 · 1 Corinthians 2:9-10
Eulogy

Up [If he or she possessed a scrapbook, what would be the snapshots that would most definitely be included? Describe the wonderful adventures, the dream trips upon which they embarked.] A movie years ago won an Oscar for animated films. It was of such high quality that it got nominated for an Oscar for the best picture of the year. I’m talking about Up, a film from the animation wizards at Pixar Studio. It begins with one of the most touching and poetic four minutes ever seen on the silver screen and all ...
3078. Eyes Like a Hawk
Luke 14:1, 7-14
Sermon
Lori Wagner
“The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.’” (1 Samuel 16:7) “Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.” (Mark 8:25) “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.” (Matthew 6:22) Your eyes are your soul’s window. The idea of our eyes betraying our innermost thoughts, emotions, and ...
3079. The Chasm
Luke 16:19-31
Sermon
Lori Wagner
Uncrossable divides. This is how many people see our world today. No matter what context people find themselves in, the divides seem to follow. Home. Internet. The Public Sphere. Even the Church. As the divides grow longer and deeper, we grow more distant from each other, more suspicious of each other, more singular in our viewpoints, and more alienated from awareness of the lives and concerns of others, perhaps even more alienated from caring for the lives and concerns of others. This is not just a ...

“Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly;...” (Isaiah 58:1-9a) In the beginning of Romans, Chapter I, Paul makes a rather remarkable statement after his notorious inventory of the world's moral chaos,-envy, murder, strife, deceit, gossip, idolatry, sexual perversion. Why this bad behavior? Because people don't follow the law? Because we don't lead our lives in accordance with the Bible? Because affluence and immorality go hand-in-hand? Although any of these ...

Zacchaeus’ parents must have had high hopes for their son. They named him Zacchaeus, after all, which means, “righteous one, pure one.” A name, as it turns out, which was rather ironic because he grew up to be the chief tax collector, not just a tax collector, but that person in charge of other tax collectors, the chief among cheats who extorted the exploiters and as a result got rich. I wonder if people rolled their eyes when they saw this short man coming to get the fees, fines, and burdens imposed by ...

“You meant evil against me; but God meant it for good,...” In the last few weeks, at the round of receptions, convocations, and introductory gatherings for our new students I've enjoyed asking people, “What led you to Duke?” My mother went to Duke. I like ACC basketball. I want to get in a good graduate school in four years. I couldn't get in Stanford. I'll tell you faculty, very few told me that they came here for the faculty. Of course, absolutely no one told me that he or she came here for the preacher ...
