Sermon

Lori Wagner

... with all of your heart and might. A soul that is true will issue with beautiful words of praise and prayer. And will result in skin “like a newborn child.” A soul that is tarred with hateful and malicious words spewing from the tongue will likewise yield a blistering and weeping body. Your words are only as thin as your skin. And the “Word” of God penetrates every one of us, and “judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). An old story tells of a church woman named Mildred ...

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... choose by separating. This works well in the description of the threshing board. Interestingly a name for a “judge” in Hebrew is dayyan, which also means sage. In civil cases, the dayyan, usually a scholar of worth, would be called upon to yield his judgment. Another word for judge in Hebrew is shafat (the word typical to the Hebrew “judges”). The shafat would govern the tribes, but the word actually means to “save” to “restore life to” to “vindicate.” For more on the “judges” such ...

... , who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I ...

She provides the assurance of God’s promise, and the foreshadow of the resurrection, a birthing, a baptism, and a witness to life. The light of Mary’s experience is the Light of God come into the ...

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... war, how to end slavery or support prohibition. Men may have taken the main stage. But for centuries, women had a subculture of their own. It was masked under the pretense of a party or gathering. This was often a very powerful subculture, yielding momentous …and even revolutionary results. In the first century, it was no different. And when Mary and Elizabeth got together at Zechariah’s home in the hill country of Judea, they were celebrating much more than just a baby shower! They were claiming ...

883. Pilate's Ruse

Lori Wagner

... crowds of Jews hastened to Cæsarea, where the procurator was residing, and besought him to remove the images. After five days of discussion he ordered his soldiers to surround the petitioners and to put them to death unless they ceased to trouble him. He yielded only when he saw that the Jews would rather die than bear this affront. At a later date Pilate appropriated funds from the sacred treasury in order to provide for the construction of an aqueduct for supplying the city of Jerusalem with water from ...

884. You Are Gifted

Matthew 2:1-12

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... of that grace to others, we need to open ourselves up to sharing our gifts with others. And the greatest gift we can give is the gift of a relationship with Jesus. For Jesus is the ultimate life. In Jesus, even death’s victory is imaginary, for death yields to/allows for God’s greater victory, as we enter into the realms of heaven. One of the scenes that always stunned me was in Star Wars I when Obi Wan Kenobi allows himself to be stricken down, and his “spirit” lives on in the force of the Jedi ...

... angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... our way. It’s not so easy when it doesn’t. Perhaps Job attributes his wealth, his fortune, and his abundance to his own righteousness. Perhaps hidden beneath that goody-two-shoes countenance is an overthinking mind that believes that his works and good deeds will yield due reward, or that he is owed these just desserts by God because he is an upstanding citizen. Is Job an “I deserve the best cause I am the best” believer? Or is he a humble and grateful servant? God decides to take the wager. Soon ...

That’s strong. *The visual for this sermon is borrowed from a photograph taken by Morgunblaðið photographer Árni Sæberg ...

... year,” he would say. This went on for ten years until the businessman celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday. As usual, his associates begged him to share the secret formula with them so they could continue the business after his death. Finally, he yielded to their insistence. “In addition to the things which I use which are commonly known,” he said, “there is one secret ingredient that I package with every bottle.” By this time, everyone at the party was listening with rapt attention. “What is ...

John 17:1-5

Sermon

David & Marian Plant

... , having heard the sound from the distant places where they were administrating their duties to “really sick people.” They too finally affirmed this was not good. Three days of poking, prodding, three days of testing, questions, whispered and spoken aloud conversations, yielded nothing. The doctor, like a detective in search for the criminal mastermind, sat again with the parents and stated that while everything about this child was in the top range of all tests, there was one category where he was in ...

In the spirit of science, there really is no such thing as a 'failed experiment.' Any test that yields valid data is a valid test.

Adam Savage

Faith is a theological virtue that inclines the mind, under the influence of the will and grace, to yield firm assent to revealed truths, because of the authority of God.
