Hate Evil, Love Good, Establish Justice
Amos 5:14-15, 21-24, “Seek good and not evil, that you may live; and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, just as you have said. Hate evil and love good, and establish justice in the gate; it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts,…
The Greatest Gift
If your family is anything like my family, there was great anticipation for Christmas. As a young child, it seemed like Christmas could not come soon enough. It seemed like it took forever for Dec 25 to come. Days without school, no homework or tests to study for. Plenty of…
God’s Dream
12.24.14 Christmas Eve Service; Pastor Douglas Scalise Opening Prayer: O God of love, you have brought us together tonight and blessed us with your very self and in so many other ways. Open our eyes to the light of Christ which glows in the darkness of a world engulfed in…

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…

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…
How to Be Thankful When You’re Not
With Thanksgiving coming this week, I’ve imagined myself being “one” with pastors all over the country who were doing the same thing I’ve been doing all week—praying that we can encourage our congregations and ourselves to grow bigger hearts of thankfulness beginning this Sunday. Probably every church in America is…
Running the Race
Do you have any traditions in your family that you enjoy? Do you know their origin – how, why, or when they started? In the musical Fiddler on the Roof, one of the best known songs is Tradition. The lead character, Tevye says, “Some people may ask, how the tradition…

Surprised By God
If you had to choose, would you say you’re a person who likes and enjoys surprises, or do you prefer to know what’s coming? Some people enjoy surprises and others don’t; sometimes it depends on the nature of the surprise whether it is positive and nice or upsetting and even…
