1051. Liminal Space

Luke 2:1-7

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... very real. Think of some of the major social hierarchies that have dissolved or changed in the last 50 years. Some of you remember watching the fall of the Berlin wall. It was sudden and shocking. But then there was a brief time, in which the old regime ceased to exist, but a new order had not yet taken shape. Hopes and dreams mixed and mingled in strange and uncertain ways. This was liminal space. Think of what happened in the Soviet Union….or more recently in Egypt. An old regime fell, and yet it took a ...

... what you are to speak.” (Exodus 4:11-12) Jesus himself had the power of God to silence or to give speech –one of the signs that he is indeed the messiah! “And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.” (Mark 4:39) “And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.” (Luke 4:35) The selah is a time when ...

... soon as this became known 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 ...

... up, confusion in them. Perhaps they wonder how this person got in. Surely the doors were locked. “Peace be with you,” Jesus says again. He shows them his side. He smiles with his eyes. And suddenly, their hearts are filled with joy. Their mourning ceases. Their hearts are lifted. They smile too. It’s what we used to call a “Kodak” moment. How beautiful those smiles must have been at that instant! Smiles that came from the heart. Love that radiated from their souls. Were they feeling guilty…those ...

... of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done. “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that ...

1056. Hold Me When I'm Angry

Joshua 5:1-12

Sermon

Carl Jech

... fickle love-hate attitude on the part of his children, we read that "the anger of the Lord blazed hotly." (v. 10) Now, in our text for today, we read that the days of "reproach", of disgrace for Israel are over. They enter the promised land. The manna ceases and they eat again the varied produce of the land. The suffering, the anger, the disgrace are "rolled back" (that's what the name Gilgal means), and in place of disgrace there is now grace and peace in the family of Israel again. 1. Anger Must Not Be ...

Hell is the place where one has ceased to hope.

A. J. Cronin

Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.

Albert Einstein

Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals.

Albert Schweitzer

A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.

Aldous Huxley

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

Aldous Huxley

Heap high the board with plenteous cheer, and gather to the feast, And toast the sturdy Pilgrim band whose courage never ceased. Give praise to that All-Gracious One by whom their steps were led, And thanks unto the harvest's Lord who sends our "daily bread."

Alice Williams

It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.

Anais Nin

When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow.

Anais Nin

Everything tends to make us believe that there exists a certain point of the mind at which life and death, the real and the imagined, past and future, the communicable and the incommunicable, high and low, cease to be perceived as contradictions.

Andre Breton

Without class differences, England would cease to be the living theatre it is.

Anthony Burgess

Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.

Anthony J. D'Angelo

Once men are caught up in an event they cease to be afraid. Only the unknown frightens men.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

After a certain point, money is meaningless. It ceases to be the goal. The game is what counts.

Aristotle Onassis

Religion must mainly be a matter of principles only. It cannot be a matter of rules. The moment it degenerates into rules, it ceases to be a religion, as it kills responsibility which is an essence of the true religious act.

B. R. Ambedkar

Great sport begins at a point where it has ceased to be healthy.

Bertolt Brecht

Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks.

Bible

There [heaven] the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary be at rest.

Bible

Once music ceases to be ephemeral - always disappearing - and becomes instead material... it leaves the condition of traditional music and enters the condition of painting. It becomes a painting, existing as material in space, not immaterial in time.

Brian Eno

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love this is the eternal rule.
