651. Risky Business

Mark 8:27-38

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... know we made a difference. Take a look at this video for a moment. [Video: “It’s in Our Nature”: https://youtu.be/70cifFXLsz4] This is the message we need in the church. We are counter-cultural. It’s in our nature. Despite our worst inclinations, we are committed to loving, including, healing, and making a difference in people’s lives. That involves risk taking. Human nature is complex. We have the ability within ourselves to be at our worst or our best. But unless we risk venturing out into the ...

652. Getters of Things Done

Luke 10:38-42

Sermon

Dean Feldmeyer

... and smelling flowers and never really accomplishing anything. There are two kinds of people in the world: Marys and Marthas. Which kind of person are you? Are you a Mary or a Martha? The Slacker and The Achiever I don’t know about you, but my first inclination upon reading or hearing read the story of Mary and Martha is to take sides. I’m betting it’s the same for you. Okay, be honest. Mary people, raise your hands. Martha people? Hands. Uh, huh. Just as I thought. In my experience, most people, when ...

Eulogy

Richard E. Zajac

... from lunch in the garbage can, figuring the homeless would find it as they did their nightly routine of going through trash cans. You could rightfully say that Kate had kindness in her DNA, she was born with a huge heart; within her from birth was this natural inclination to help other people. You could also say that if there was anyone born to work with the Special Needs Community, it was Kate Wirth. And for my two cents, I wish the church would wake up to the need to ordain women because Kate would’ve ...

654. Learning to Lean

Luke 11:1-13

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... . And God wants a relationship with each and every one of us, a relationship that is personal, close, devoted, and humble. God will not disappoint. We too must learn from Jesus how to pray – not with demands or expectation, not with arrogance or selfish inclination, but when we lean on God, asking intently and intentionally for God’s intervention in our lives, when we recognize God’s power and put our faith in God’s love, when we allow ourselves to depend upon God’s provision and believe in ...

655. God Is Like...

Isaiah 40:18-31 · John 1:1-14

Sermon

Kenneth L. Gibble

... . There were indeed some surprises along the way, images and metaphors for God that took on new meaning for me. I needed and received reminders of how much more there is to this mystery we call God than we suppose. You and I have a natural inclination to reduce God to manageable size, to confine God within safe and familiar categories. We make the sad mistake of preferring God on our terms, rather than on God’s terms. The Holy One is far greater and wilder and more wonderful than we dare to imagine ...
