751. The Incarnation: What and Why?

Hebrews 2:10-18

Sermon

James L. Killen

... to that in many ways but much more cosmic in its scope and much more important in its implications for us. The book of Hebrews is a hard book to read. It is full of mixed metaphors and references to ancient traditions that most of us don't remember or understand. Actually, you have to dig around in all of that to find the story line in the book. But when it finally emerges and you see it, it is exciting. The story begins by assuming our human need. We want to live good and productive lives. We want to live ...

752. Blind Ambition

Mark 9:30-37

Sermon

Mark Trotter

... He turned around, picked up the phone, and pretended that he was talking to the President of the United States. He said, "Mr. President, I understand what you are saying to me. I think your idea is a good one, and I can tell you that I will share it ... going to happen. This is the way it is going to happen. I'm going to give my life for you. Mark says, "They didn't understand, and they were afraid to ask." I think they understood. I think they understood, but their ambition wouldn't let them hear it. It didn't ...

753. God Never Gives Up

Luke 15:1-10

Sermon

Mark Trotter

... with thee, and a sojourner, as my fathers before me.’” Then he turned to the New Testament and read of the passion of our Lord, “My God, why hast thou forsaken me.” He wrote, “I knew with certainty this is someone who understands me. I began to understand Christ because I realized Christ understood me. And I began to summon up the courage to go on living.” The second incident came when some Christians visited the prison camp. Paul was knocked down on the Damascus Road, dumfounded, then led to ...

754. How to Be a Blessing

I Peter 3:8-12

Sermon

Mark Trotter

... away. This is the penultimate time. This is the time before the end, when we do not see all things clearly. There are hard questions for which there are no answers, pain which doesn't make any sense at all, terrible things that happen in our lives we don't understand. That's what it's like to live in the penultimate time, in the time before the Kingdom comes. And that's the world that Jesus came into. He didn't give us some passport into a perfect life. He came to be here with us in this life, humbled ...

755. Where's Your Spirit?

Acts 19:1-7

Sermon

Mark Trotter

... acts. First, we have been baptized by water. That means that by God's grace we have been forgiven, and given a new beginning in our life. Now that bothers a lot of people, and it did me, too, for a long time, that we baptize babies with that understanding of baptism. Little babies have not sinned. Nor do I believe that there is some taint transmitted by genetics that has to be removed by the miracle of holy water. I don't believe that. Nevertheless, when we baptize, in the prayer over the water, we pray for ...

756. Missing the Mark

1 Samuel 8:1-22

Sermon

Charles Allo

... situations. The influences that have affected you. The thoughts going through your head. The values in your heart from which you decided. Instead of contrasting what we think we would do based on the known outcome, let's understand what happened in the process of understanding the unknown outlook. And in each decision of importance there are three factors: We sense our life's situation. We figure our choices through our head situation. We make our decisions because of our heart situation. So this morning ...

757. A Case for Living Together

Revelation 7:9-17

Sermon

Leonard Sweet

... them? The absolute rejection of our homeland, of anything that smacks of America, leaves us angry and confused. That which we are most proud of is being rejected outright and we just don't get it. But just because we don't get it, just because we can't understand why so much of the world suddenly seems to have nothing good to say about US, doesn't make the reality any less true. In today's gospel text John presents a classic case of a group of intelligent, thoughtful people not getting it. "The Jews" John's ...

758. What to Do with Yesterday - A Sermon for a New Year

Psalm 103:1-22

Sermon

James McCormick

... let Him. Isn’t that the message of our scripture? “As the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His steadfast love toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does God remove our transgressions from us.” Won’t we understand once and for all: God is not in the condemnation business, God is in the redemption business. He looks at our past not to find ways to condemn us, but to discover what’s holding us back, so that He can take it away and free us for life in ...
