Romans 6:15-23

Sermon

King Duncan

... turn his life around. He closes his post on Instagram like this: “All this is to say even when the odds are against you, keep fighting. Jesus loves you . . . Be kind today, be bold today and love people today, not by your standards but by God’s perfect unfailing love.” (6) Yes, that is the testimony of a repentant Justin Bieber. We all get stuck from time to time. Trapped . . . Temporarily enslaved by the Tempter. The good news for the day is that we do not have to stay that way. Tether yourself to ...

4452. Sheep? Seriously?

John 10:1-21

Sermon

David & Marian Plant

... and their shepherd create and reinforce a communal pen where all find protection each metaphorical night from wild predators, thieves, and bandits. Over the centuries, the purview of Christians became too small. Most recently we allowed our US culture to create and sustain the perfect environment for a Prosperity gospel and a numbing myopia. For example, as long as my family is okay, and those I know personally are okay, that’s as far as I need to see or to care. My responsibility is to them; others will ...

4453. The Magic Ingredient

Romans 8:18-27

Sermon

King Duncan

... , St. Paul writes, “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” Think about that for a moment. This is what hope is all about. It is the admission that the present times may not be perfect, in fact they may be heart-wrenching, but, if we trust in God, better days lie yet ahead. “Our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” St. Paul knew that none of us gets through life without wrestling ...

John 17:1-5

Sermon

David & Marian Plant

... and those words could not be taken back once uttered. They made the trip to the hospital. The mother, certain that the looks tossed her way were really meant to communicate not urgency but a mother who just needed some rest and relaxation as this perfectly cherubic child and she settled in for the first afternoon. It was about two hours before the boy went down for his first nap after his afternoon breastfeeding. Sleeping well, the nurses checked in and saw nothing wrong, nothing at all. Just as mom dropped ...

4455. What's Your Superpower?

Luke 24:36-49, Acts 1:1-11

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... the patience to wait until you hear God’s purpose for your life? Or will you go your own way based upon your own strengths and weaknesses. What did the God’s Holy Spirit tell the headstrong Paul, who lacked courage in his own abilities? “My strength is made perfect in your weakness.” What did God’s spirit tell the prophets when they didn’t want to go? “I will put my words into your mouth.” What did Jesus tell his disciples when he had to leave them? “It isn’t for you to know the times or ...

4456. Worship, Doubt, and the Trinity

Matthew 28:16-20

Sermon

R. Kevin Mohr

... [we] may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called [us] out of darkness into his marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9). This is all the work of the Triune God, whose grace is sufficient to deal with every fear that oppresses us, whose power is made perfect in our weaknesses — yes, even in our doubts! The great commission of Matthew 28 shows that the Triune God does not hold back from us. Verb upon verb is piled up: go, disciple, baptize, teach, obey, and remember. The key is probably that last one: remember ...

We fear our highest possibility (as well as our lowest one). We are generally afraid to become that which we can glimpse in our most perfect moments.

Abraham Maslow

To feel much for others and little for ourselves to restrain our selfishness and exercise our benevolent affections, constitute the perfection of human nature.

Adam Smith

When I think of art I think of beauty. Beauty is the mystery of life. It is not in the eye; it is in the mind. In our minds there is awareness of perfection.

Agnes Martin

The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

The perfect computer has been developed. You just feed in your problems, and they never come out again.

Al Goodman

Everything will line up perfectly when knowing and living the truth becomes more important than looking good.

Alan Cohen

We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect.

Alanis Morissette

We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.

Albert Camus

Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.

Albert Camus

Confusion of goals and perfection of means seems, in my opinion, to characterize our age.

Albert Einstein

Perfection of means and confusion of ends seem to characterize our age.

Albert Einstein

Philosophy is a kind of journey, ever learning yet never arriving at the ideal perfection of truth.

Albert Pike

No single man can be taken as a model for a perfect figure, for no man lives on earth who is endowed with the whole of beauty.

Albrecht Durer

I hold that the perfection of form and beauty is contained in the sum of all men.

Albrecht Durer

A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.

Aldous Huxley

You cannot force ideas. Successful ideas are the result of slow growth. Ideas do not reach perfection in a day, no matter how much study is put upon them.

Alexander Graham Bell

I never expect to see a perfect work from an imperfect man.

Alexander Hamilton

A perfect judge will read each word of wit with the same spirit that its author writ.

Alexander Pope

I never knew any man in my life who could not bear another's misfortunes perfectly like a Christian.
