526. Lady of the House / The Practice of Joy

Luke 10:38-42

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... to the joy of community. It is ….SHARED joy. Joy within relationship. With God. With Jesus. With each other. With community. Put on a happy face Martha! Share with ME this day! Share this feast with ME. Jesus was teaching Martha what Mary already instinctively sought –the joy of Jesus’ presence. The joy of BEING present with Jesus. And I’m sure it’s no mistake that Luke’s gospel goes on to talk about prayer just after telling us this story about Martha, Mary, and Jesus. Because prayer, just ...

527. Are You a Lemming or a Lassie?

Luke 12:13-21, Luke 12:22-34, Luke 12:35-48, Luke 12:49-53, Luke 12:54-59

Sermon

... launched in 1954 called simply “Lassie.” The show ran for 18 years. The stories were of a loyal collie dog named Lassie, the best friend of her young master Timmy. Loyal to the bone, always saving someone from life-threatening disasters, Lassie always seemed to instinctively know the right things to do, the right ways to go, and always knew how to get home again no matter how far away their adventures would take her. She loved her master with a fierce passion and devotion. And the dog seemed to have a ...

Isaiah 6:1-13

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... strikes. Perhaps the most prophetic about humankind is our ability in the face of the terrible to breathe in and act out with the dragon-breath of God’s true love and sacrifice –that seraph-like fiery passionate love of others that causes our survival instinct to fail and our courage to kindle, even as we run through fire exclaiming “Here I am!” “Send me!” Now, that’s anointing! *See Strongs. See also the Jewish Encyclopedia. See Patheos, “What are Seraphim” by Pleithart. Dec. 15, 2010

529. Shepherd Dreams

... dinner all the while surreptitiously watching her interactions with you to make sure she’s the kind of girl who won’t break your heart! And she’s full of all kinds of helpful relationship advice, isn’t she? Some wanted. Some…maybe not. That inborn instinct of a parent to look out for their children may be the closest thing to “shepherding” that we can imagine, at least the kind of shepherd God was imagining for the people of God. When you read the descriptions of a “good” shepherd, both in ...

530. The Politics of Love

Mark 15:1-15

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... Roman eye. Herod’s imposed balancing act, despite his eggshell personality, is definitely unenviable. So Pilate has a dilemma. The Jewish authorities are calling for Jesus’ death. Pilate is the only one who can make that call. And yet, he knows, whether instinctively or legally, that Jesus has not committed an act deserving of that sentence. In a surprising act, which shows not only his astute acumen but that he knows more about the Jewish faith than perhaps we give him credit for, Pilate quotes their ...

531. The Physician

Isaiah 38:1-22, Matthew 8:14-17

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... joy, worship, praise, and service! For Jesus’ healing is not just physical healing, but a healing of mind, body, and spirit. It is a “restoration” into covenant with God, a restoration of relationship, in which we understand intrinsically and intuitively, instinctively and undeniably, that Jesus is our Savior, the Healer of our EVERY ill, as the famous hymn goes. Illness, pain, doubt, death are all states of separation from the wholeness that God promises us, not just physically, but spiritually and ...

532. Trapped!

Romans 6:15-23

Sermon

King Duncan

... to the ground . . . (5) The point is that the closer we are tethered to God, the more freedom and joy we can experience as we make our way through life. When we are tethered to God it makes it easier to resist those temptations that may appeal to our baser instincts, but in the long run bring only heartache and estrangement from those we love and from God. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” The truth of the matter is that you and I don’t have ...

533. Rock of Salvation

Exodus 17:1-7

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.” 1 Corinthians 10:4 Wombats are little burrowing creatures popular to New South Wales in Australia. Something like a ground hog, wombats are unusual in that they can instinctively find water beneath the ground. They seem to know just where to burrow. A researcher at Western Sydney University says that wombats are like “water diviners.” They just seem to sense the presence of water.[1] That makes them very popular critters ...

For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium.

Albert Camus

Retaliation is related to nature and instinct, not to law. Law, by definition, cannot obey the same rules as nature.

Albert Camus

Modern morality and manners suppress all natural instincts, keep people ignorant of the facts of nature and make them fighting drunk on bogey tales.

Aleister Crowley

Instinct is untaught ability.

Alexander Bain

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.

Anais Nin

In art as in love, instinct is enough.

Anatole France

And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

Ayrton Senna

Don't you dare underestimate the power of your own instinct.

Barbara Corcoran

I go by instinct. I don't worry about experience.

Barbra Streisand

Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing.

Ben Hogan

What good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is usually best after all.

Benjamin Spock

Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.

Bertrand Russell

Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else's.

Billy Wilder

Two things control men's nature, instinct and experience.

Blaise Pascal

Instinct teaches us to look for happiness outside ourselves.

Blaise Pascal

Be willing to trust your instincts, especially if you cannot find answers elsewhere.

Brian Koslow

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.
