Our theme for this week is “Forgiveness.” During this season of Lent, up near our altar and under the crucifix is the word “SCARS.” We remember that after Jesus died by being nailed to the cross, when He rose from the dead He still had the nail scars on His hands. This morning we’ll remember that the word SCARS can challenge us to think about the w…

What habits have you developed over the years that have helped get you through life? Maybe your work habits? Maybe the way you drive your car? Maybe the way you talk or listen to other people? And speaking of other people - is it true that the people you hang around with are the ones you imitate the most? And if that’s true, how have they influence…

This sermon is from almost the last Sunday in the church season called “Epiphany.” We began this season on January 6 as we remembered the Wise Men who brought gifts to the baby Jesus, and each week we’ve “unwrapped” a little bit more of the gift to all humanity that is Jesus Himself. We’ve seen Him teach and do miracles, and today we’ll think about…

Last week I said we use the word “church” in a lot of different ways. “Love” is another word like that – it means a lot of different things to everybody! Who knows where they come up with those meanings, sometimes? But in the Bible, there really is only one basic meaning of “love,” and one basic picture that all the other pictures of “love” in the …

This is the third Sunday in the Epiphany season, the church season that started with the visit of the Wise Men to the baby Jesus. We use the word “church” in a lot of different ways. “Church” is a building. “Church” is a worship service at such a building. “Church” is the congregation that meets in the building. “Church” is a collection of congrega…

This is the second Sunday in the New Year. It’s also the first Sunday in the Epiphany season, the church season that started with the visit of the Wise Men to the baby Jesus. In this morning’s Gospel lesson we leave the childhood of Jesus behind and see Him as an adult. He begins the ministry He came to do by being baptized! But His baptism isn’t o…

This is the first Sunday in the New Year. It’s also the last day of the Christmas season. Tomorrow, January 6, is the day when the Church remembers the visit of the Wise Men to the baby Jesus. I don’t know if you know this, but there’s lots of discussion about who these wise men were, how many there were, and on and on – but today I want to invite …

This sermon is from the first Sunday after Christmas. This year, you might also know it as The Fifth Day of Christmas (that’s “Five Golden Rings” Day) - but in the calendar of the church, it’s the day we remember that very soon after Jesus was born his parents took Him to the temple to “present Him to the Lord.” We’ll meet two wonderful people who …

We’re almost at the end of Red Letter Advent, where we are unboxing the four gifts of hope, peace, joy, and today, the LOVE of Jesus. So far, we’ve heard that the everyday, human understanding of each of these gifts is different than the way God uses them in His Word, the Bible. Last week, for instance, we heard that the word “JOY” is not so much a…

The final letter in the “Forgiving Challenge” acronymn (“SCARS” = Sin, Confession, Absolution, Restoration, Sanctification) is another S - this one stands for “Sanctification.” “Sanctification” means “the process of being made holy”; but it also means “living life as a person freed from the threats of punishment for sins, and free to answer the cal…
