Stepping Out in Faith: Tabitha and Peter
Last Sunday I spoke about the story in Acts 9 of the conversion of Saul, better known as Paul, and the crucial role that Ananias played in praying with Saul and speaking God’s word to him. The Book of Acts describes how the movement bearing the name of Jesus spread…
When We Know Better than God – Ananias
Saul of Tarsus is such an important character in the New Testament and in church history that we wish we knew more about him. Still there’s a significant amount of information we can learn from a close reading of Acts and the letters that are attributed to him. We see…
Being A Refreshing Presence
Today I’m beginning a summer series on the theme Stepping Out in Faith. That’s something we need to do both as individuals and as a church. Throughout the next few months we’ll be looking at people in the Bible and in our own time who demonstrate faith and courage in…
Please Don’t Throw Me in the Briar Patch
Our message today is from Rev. Dr. Roy Medley, General Secretary of the American Baptist Churches USA. Dr. Medley is the pastoral and administrative leader of the 1.3 million member denomination and over 5,200 congregations.
For Thine is the Kingdom and Power and the Glory Forever
“As you know, we dealt with each one of you like a father with his children, urging and encouraging you and pleading that you lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.” During the past five weeks we’ve been examining the Lord’s Prayer.…
Deliver Us From Evil
Last Sunday was an unusual day because I was here at BBC for almost twelve straight hours so I was really looking forward to a good night’s sleep. I didn’t get it. At 2:55 am I woke up because our smoke detectors went off. Jill and I quickly got up…
Forgive Us Our Sins
As I’ve been working on this series on The Lord’s Prayer one of the things I’ve found very interesting is how closely related the Lord’s Prayer is to the Ten Commandments. Have you ever thought about that? Throughout the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapters 5-7, Jesus keeps referring…
Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread
Mother’s Day brings a complicated mix of emotions: for some of us it is a day of joy, gratitude, and happiness; for others it is a day that brings pangs of pain, regret or grief. It is a day when we rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those…
Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done
In Matthew 6, the Lord’s Prayer is given as part of the Sermon of the Mount when Jesus moves from teaching about giving to the subject of prayer. Jesus says when we pray we’re to be more concerned with praying to God than praying in places that enable us to…
Father, Hallowed Be Thy Name
One of the fun things for me in going to Red Sox Fantasy Camp in 2012 and 2013 was having the opportunity for each time to play for former Red Sox third baseman and later manager Butch Hobson. Although I’ve played baseball in school and for fun for 40 years,…
When Your World is Shaken
While it probably isn’t wise to build ones theology around bumper stickers, I saw two good ones in Orleans on Saturday. One said, “Write your sorrows in sand. Write your blessings in stone.” The other one said, “Jesus is coming, look busy.” I’m glad you’re here looking busy for Easter.…
Carrying the Cross
Today I’m going to tell you about someone who had one of the most incredible experiences any human being has ever had. Many of us would say that Jesus is one person we’d like to meet; how amazing would it be to be close to Jesus, to hear him speak,…
