1051. Holy Goat!

Leviticus 16:1-34, John 20:24-31

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... Spirit. But when Jesus appears to the disciples sitting shiva in their locked room that first time, Thomas is not among them. We don’t know why. But we know, he joins them later. In one of the greatest examples of Jesus’ grace and tenderness, Jesus comes back again to that same locked room, just for Thomas’s benefit. No disciple left behind! It sounds like an episode of Trolls. That’s their shouting cry--“No troll left behind!” Jesus cannot leave Thomas hiding, locked in his grief, discouraged ...

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... John in Revelation. God burns up the water on the altar, smokes and burns without consuming in the story of Moses. And yet, God gently guides God’s people through a scorching wilderness under a protective cloud cover. God’s power as well as God’s loving tenderness come out vividly in the stories of scripture. Even in the story of Jonah, we see both the scorching heat or God face-to-face muted by the shade tree under which Jonah is allowed to ponder and mope. In the story of Moses, the “glowing” of ...

1054. Hold Me When I'm Angry

Joshua 5:1-12

Sermon

Carl Jech

... , in the hospital he lashed out at those who tried to help him, including the young woman who loved him. Then, suddenly, during one encounter the anger turned to tears and now, instead of bearing the brunt of his anger, the young woman achieved the kind of tender closeness she had hoped for. Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, the famous authority on death and dying, tells us that we should consider it a compliment when a dying person shares his or her anger with us. It seems absurd at first when we are told to be ...

1055. Sheep? Seriously?

John 10:1-21

Sermon

David & Marian Plant

From Handel’s Messiah: “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, everyone, to his own way.”1 From Psalm 23 (KJV): “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” From a hymn: Savior, like a shepherd lead us, much we need thy tender care; in thy pleasant pastures feed us, for our use thy folds prepare. Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast bought us, thine we are. Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast bought us, thine we are.2 From John 10:3-4 (NRSV): “The gatekeeper opens the gate ...

Genesis 1:1-2:3

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... with the good and dark forces that lie within each of them. But in the end, how they act and who they are does not depend on their biology, their heritage, their race, or their power, but only on how they intend to use it, on the tenderness of their hearts. For we learn every time that to be compassionate is strong. To be angry and forceful, ultimately weak. When Rey healed the stricken Kylo’s wound, even though he tried to kill her, she unknowingly changed and healed his heart. She expelled his darkness ...

If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.

Alan Rickman

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us; if we take them tenderly and truly.

Amos Bronson Alcott

We have to consciously study how to be tender with each other until it becomes a habit because what was native has been stolen from us, the love of Black women for each other.

Audre Lorde

We have a society in which one of the greatest things you can do is a platform to see victim status, and one of the qualifications for that is that you have these exquisitely tender feelings about things and sensibilities which are easily offended.

Brit Hume

I understand by this passion the union of desire, friendship, and tenderness, which is inflamed by a single female, which prefers her to the rest of her sex, and which seeks her possession as the supreme or the sole happiness of our being.

Edward Gibbon

Habit is not mere subjugation, it is a tender tie; when one remembers habit it seems to have been happiness.

Elizabeth Bowen

Women's virtue is frequently nothing but a regard to their own quiet and a tenderness for their reputation.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

We win by tenderness. We conquer by forgiveness.

Frederick W. Robertson

When death, the great reconciler, has come, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, but our severity.

George Eliot

A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.

George Jean Nathan

Bid, then, the tender light of faith to shine By which alone the mortal heart is led Unto the thinking of the thought divine.

George Santayana

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.

George Washington Carver

A man always remembers his first love with special tenderness, but after that he begins to bunch them.

H. L. Mencken

Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means.

Henny Youngman

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.

Henri Nouwen

In this world, full often, our joys are only the tender shadows which our sorrows cast.

Henry Ward Beecher

Let us tenderly and kindly cherish, therefore, the means of knowledge. Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write.

John Adams

Soft closer of our eyes! Low murmur of tender lullabies!

John Keats

Prayer is not artful monologue of voice uplifted from the son; tt is love's tender dialogue between the soul and God.
