Sermon

George Paul Mocko

... God is One Lord." Yes, we worship but the command is to love. Those called pantheists all through history have been able to see this divine activity, and yet have remained untouched by the consciousness of any personal presence. Before we can love, all of this must touch our lives individually. We must be able to see how this divine activity and presence is not only in the division of the cell, but also in the cells that compose my body and yours. This divine activity and presence is not only in life, in ...

Acts 9:1-19a

Sermon

Barbara Brokhoff

... true that the light at midday was a sudden experience, but a lot of factors have gone into this struggle before this time and place. We do not become Christians in isolation. Think about it - you are a Christian today because of whom? What factors? How many people touched your life on your journey to Christ?

1 John 1:4b

Children's Sermon

... 're unpredictable. That means that we don't ever know exactly what they're going to do. Our lesson today is from a letter written by John, one of Jesus' best friends. John tells the people that many people heard Jesus and saw Jesus and touched Jesus. After they heard and saw and touched Jesus they got so excited that they had to tell as many people as they could. Jesus' friends wanted everyone else to be as happy and excited as they were. So they all told lots of people and those people told lots of people ...

Jesus gave the devil a sound spiritual "thrashing" there in the wilderness; he must have thought he had lost his touch. He couldn't contend with the Word of God. He turned tail and, if he didn't run, he departed the scene as fast as he could. 3. Luke shows that he was defeated, but that it was only a temporary defeat, "until an opportune time." He would have ...

God and the era when he will rule “forever and ever.” As for us, we have the opportunity to meet that risen Lord, especially when we receive the Body and Blood in that holy supper which he prepared for us. And he comes to us and allows us to “touch” him by taking the elements in our hands and eating and drinking what he gives us. And when we do that, the invisible, indelible, and illuminated mark of the cross that was traced on our foreheads in baptism assures us that he is alive, that his death has ...
