The Toughest Thing In Life… Learning to Forgive

The Power of Blessing
Let’s begin, reading from The Message, the book of James, Chapter 3, starting at verse 3. 3-5 A bit in the mouth of a horse controls the whole horse. A small rudder on a huge ship in the hands of a skilled captain sets a course in the face of…
What Would He Say Today?
We don’t know much about the prophet Habakkuk, not even his father’s name, but we know he likely spoke during the height of Babylonian power (608-598 B.C.) and that he asked hard, searching questions. Looking at his homeland of Judah, observing the violence and injustice on every hand, he cries…
The Sin of Standing Aside
Have you ever benefited from the intervention of a stranger or have you ever come to the aid of a person you didn’t know? What was that experience like? I’ve benefited from the intervention of a stranger when I got a flat tire on a cold winter day and was…

Joseph’s Dream
Ready or not here comes Christmas, just four days away. We’re not surprised by the timing of Christmas – it tends to arrive about the same time each year. Since we know when Christmas is coming at some point we begin cleaning, sending cards, making or buying gifts, baking cookies…
Mary’s Dream
The context for today’s scripture is a meeting between two expectant mothers. Elizabeth is getting on in years and has never been able to have a child. Mary is young and not yet married. Both pregnancies are unexpected and unplanned by the people involved. It’s amazing how news of the…
John The Baptist’s Dream
Unlike the other three gospels, in Matthew, John the Baptist bursts upon the scene without any preparation or warning. Whenever there’s a significant difference in how the gospels present a person, event, or story that gives us insight into that writer’s particular perspective or view. Matthew believes the action of…
Isaiah’s Dream
Today we begin the season of Advent, a season of marking the days as we remember the birth of Jesus and await the second coming of Christ. One of the words we associate most with Advent and Christmas is “peace.” “Peace on earth, good will toward men,” the angels say…
