Suffering: Every Man Has His Price
Sometimes it is in the struggle of our faith, in our asking of difficult questions at difficult times, that our faith is strengthened and brought to life.
First-footing
Using an illustration based on a Scottish New Year's tradition, this children's sermon reminds kids that people who follow Jesus should take the first step to care for people who are lonely or sad or need a friend.
Advent: The Joyful Justice of God (Isaiah 61:1-4, 8-11; Luke 1:46-55)
The real truth about life and history is not found in the forces of oppression or in the dynamics of bloody revolution; the final truth cannot be seen in the practice of inequality or the presence of poverty. The real truth, as depicted in this Christmas sermon, is in the future that Mary saw and that Jesus lived. And when we open our eyes to see it and move our limbs to live it, we, too, like Mary, will sing for joy.
Advent: Whose Child is This?
This sermon encourages high expectations as we approach the baby born on Christmas. Whose Child is this? This is the child who transformed all life and will transform our lives if we let Him.
Christmas Eve: Christmas Is Calling You Home
In this sermon, Christmas calls us home. And "home" in the divine economy is a relationship with a person, the person of Christ. Home is more a state of being than it is a place. It is not a goal to achieve, but a child to receive.
Christmas: Finders Seekers, Losers Weepers
This Chritmas sermon looks at the story of the wise men and calls us to be, as they were, seekers, not sitters!
Christmas: Christmas Shame
Mary and Joseph were people of faith and courage. Regardless of gossipy townspeople, regardless of the uncertainty of the future, they were committed: Joseph to his wife and to the child growing within her, and Mary to giving birth to this Little Stranger. Christmas started with a woman's shame and a man's humiliation, with the reproach of Christ and the power of the Spirit of God. This Christmas sermon invites us to be similarly weak in God's service, so we can watch him be strong!
Thankfulness: Where are the Nine?
This creative Thanksgiving sermon looks at the healing of the 10 lepers and imagines what might have happened afterwards. Why didn't they return to give thanks? Like you and me, they were human and had other pressing business. But who's to say that, years later, they didn't realize the gift they'd been given and share their story out of gratitude for what God had done.
