Matthew 5:21-37

Sermon

Dean Feldmeyer

... over the lawn might kill the grass. I was told that the church was built to be used and we should hold all of the VBS gatherings and classes in the church building. The sanctuary and the offices were the only rooms in the church that were air conditioned so, this being July, I said I wanted to hold our opening in the sanctuary instead of the fellowship hall. He said, “nothing doing.” It would not do to have all those kids tromping through the sanctuary every evening, wearing out the carpet and messing ...

... , he remarried and the children grew. His oldest son went to school to get his pilot’s license. He and his wife had a baby girl, with another child on the way. He put in his flight time, got a job at a small airport, and began to run air freight throughout the southern states. He hoped to become a missionary pilot some day. One night, the son was flying and there was an engine failure. In a rough landing, the gas tank exploded, and he never had a chance. Once again, the news was devastating. What do you ...

... to appeal against the actions of a tyrannical governor. It is said that crowds will gather outside the Shah's palace and there set up a continual howling. They refuse to be silent, or to leave when threatened by guards, until they have had the opportunity to air their grievances. They are known even to surround the Shah's car when he is out driving. Often it works, for the Shah will grant their request, not from his love of justice, but because he wishes to be freed of their annoyance. Truly Wanting Christ ...

Exodus 17:1-7

Sermon

Gerald Whetstone

... , high above the ground. The moment is this: an aerialist lets go of the trapeze and sails and turns, even tumbles, in mid-air. That's the moment. In seconds the flyer will be in the hands of the catcher, who has timed the swing of his ... beyond all our deserving on this life journey. How do we do this? It's our Lenten focus.

With this suggestion, I pull a balloon out of my pocket. "What does this balloon need?" I ask the children. "Air!" they tell me. "Ah yes, air. It's not much to look at all flat like this. It's lifeless, isn't it? You know, the Hebrew word ruach and the Greek word pneuma both have two meanings. Both of them can mean either 'wind' or 'spirit.' So, if I use my wind ...

59. Know Your Limitations

Children's Sermon

Kenneth Mortonson

... . Many parents have been disappointed because they expected too much from their child. Many children lose respect for their parents when they do not measure up to expectations. The problem may be caused by having set the expectations too high. Remember, a balloon filled with air is fun to have; but one that has been pushed to the breaking point is good for nothing once it has burst. Live to the fullest, but also recognize and accept the limitations life has placed upon you and others. Possible Times To Use ...

You have drunk 2.9 pounds of liquid and have perspired 1.43 pints. You have eaten 3 1/2 pounds of food. You have used 750 major muscles. Your fingernails have grown .000046 inches.

Genesis 9:1-17

Sermon

Larry Powell

A Sign of Grace So long as there are rainbows, crosses, and air to breathe, we are well within the mark to declare that God retains confidence in his creation. Grace not only provides, it provides evidence of itself: signs which abide. We each know something about abiding signs, don’t we? I do not recall all of the ...

Up he sprang to his feet, exclaiming, "I felt it!" They went in the direction in which the air was moving and reached the central shaft and freedom from their dark captivity. We also need to feel the movement of the air, do we not? We need to experience the movement of the wind of God's Spirit. The great theologian Emil Brunner put it this way: "As children ...

If this bud's a hit, they'll consider city-wide distribution. (4) Imagine that! Air-raid-sirens turned into daffodils. Change happens but it is not always bad.

(1) I would like to have been present for that nativity pageant. The idea of the baby Jesus flying through the air would be a memorable experience. Thankfully, there is no flying baby in the original Christmas story. However, there is a leaping one. After the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary to tell her she would bear a son, Mary, presumably excited and scared, goes to visit ...

That's about the way the nation of Judah looks to the prophet Joel. Suspended in mid-air, staring into the jaws of death, and wondering whether to believe in God, or not. Yet, God is there, and even in the disbelief and ingratitude of the people, God is merciful, and that is why we rejoice, Joel says. The prophet Joel talks about a plague of ...

One of the saddest sights you will ever see is a “cast” sheep lying on its back, its feet straight up in the air, struggling frantically to stand up, but in a hopeless situation. This is a position sheep get themselves into, but they cannot get themselves out of. Sheep are built in such a way that if they ever fall on their side and then over on their back with their legs ...
