But he also does healing and a lot of these people are here for that. They couldn't care less about what he says. Oh, there he is. Stay, please." Reluctantly, Samuel stayed.

... become one of the field hands and work his way up. Home the boy went. Remember the story? The young fellow started up the lane, only to have his dad see him from far off and run to meet his son. The old man waved off the carefully prepared apology. He immediately embraced the boy, then ordered an impromptu holiday, gave the kid a ring and shoes as symbols of sonship, and invited everyone to a homecoming party. What a remarkable and totally surprising reception for that boy! In modern times, an author wrote ...

E. Carver McGriff

... unfair? Of course not. If those two little ones are ever to be prepared for a sometimes threatening and at times painful world, it has to start here, now. It will be many years before these little tykes discover how protectively mother hovered by the window, carefully making sure that her beloved children were all right.

Sermon

Timothy J. Smith

... out. Uriah died in battle. David knew the ten commandments, yet still managed to break three of them. David was responsible for another man's death. As the story of David is told it would appear that he showed no sorrow, just as there was no hint of caring or love when he called Bathsheba to his palace. This lesson teaches us that there are consequences to our actions that have a rippling effect in our lives. There are times when we think we might get away with our indiscretion, but it always seems to come ...

Sermon

John A. Stroman

... touch with nature. We find that our lives, for the most part, have little contact with nature, the soil, trees, and animals. We are not really aware of the larger world around us. How long has it been since you felt the soil in your hands, planted a seed, or cared for a plant? I came across these specal words of Matthew Fox: From the first day I planted things in my front and backyard, I feel a kind of "hugging presence" when I go to bed at night, a mystery of embracing and of beauty and of "being loved" by ...

Sermon

John A. Stroman

... yield noble and joyous music. God Became Domesticated in Jesus By means of the incarnation, God becoming flesh, God has come into the midst of life. Jesus knew life as we know it. He was raised in a family as the elder son was eventually responsible for caring for his widowed mother.

Stanley Jones has suggested that in Jesus Christ God became domesticated. He knew life as we ...

... . Jesus could have just ignored this radical relative who really understood very little about Jesus. Did the baptism mark the end of Jesus' carpentry and commission him for the beginning of ministry? Did it mark the end of obeying and caring for parents in order to begin a life of obeying God and caring for all the world's peoples? Was Jesus' baptism a way to identify with the sin and suffering of other people? Did Jesus choose baptism as an example for others to follow? Just why did Jesus submit to John's ...

Sermon

Brett Blair

... surge. "I felt power flow from me." Whatever happened the important matter of course is that in the midst of the crowd, Christ felt the touch of a single person. Don't ever say that in the enormity of the cosmos God cannot care about my concerns and me. Not only does God care, he actually solicits our concerns "Come unto me all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you peace." Daughter, said Jesus (and I might add parenthetically at this point that that is the only recorded time in scripture that ...

If you want to do something important, you can run for tribal council or handle ... climate. Well, three months ago, when I was with the sheep, I began to feel like the hallucinations were starting again. But I had been very careful about the water. Yet, I saw the burning bush.

... giving us freedom. "Now, sometimes we make choices that are not good. They may seem good, but when they end up making us angry with one another or hurting one another, they cause separation from one another -- and from God too. And that is what we call sin. "But God cares about us so much that God didn't just leave us to our mistakes. Instead, God sent us Jesus to show us how to live and to save us from our enslavement to sin. Jesus set us free from the power of sin for life and the freedom to choose ...

... someone would eventually take me to the store's office. Then the store manager would use a microphone to ask in a loud voice, throughout the store, 'Would Kathleen's parents please come to the office. We have your child.' I did NOT want that to happen, so I was careful not to let my parents get away from me whenever we went shopping. Besides, if I did get lost and taken to the manager's office, what guarantee did I have that my parents would even know how to find the office? And if they couldn't find it, I ...
