Chip Off the Ol’ Block
4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For in Scripture it says: “See,…
Fishing or Following?
Today’s encounter between the disciples and Jesus happens after the empty tomb of Easter morning; after Jesus appeared among the fearful disciples who had locked themselves in a house and said to them “Peace be with you.” After Jesus breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” It happens…
We Are All Like Thomas
I suspect that none of us would want to be remembered for one of our weakest moments. Can you imagine if for all time someone attached a label to you that you could never shake? Clumsy Carolyn, Dumb Doug, Rude Rita, Selfish Sam. That would stink wouldn’t it? We’d probably…
What Do You Remember?
“But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in, they did not find the body. 4 While they were perplexed…
Even the Stones Will Cry Out
Pastors Mary Scheer and Patti Ricotta team up to fill in for Pastor Doug. As Pastor Patti and I are sharing this message, we will be using the scripture Pastor Doug had planned on using today. When we realized on Friday that we would be preaching, we decided to split…
The Best Question Ever
The other day I read a story in the New York Post titled Sucker! A would-be bank robber walked into a Manhattan bank hoping for a sweet payday — but left with nothing but some hard candy when a quick-thinking teller gave him the runaround, law-enforcement sources told The Post.…
The Gift of Confession
Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 2 Happy are those to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. 3 While I kept silence, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night…
Growing with Christ in Your Sanctuary
When you were little, or your kids were little, did anybody ever draw lines on the door post measuring the child’s height from year to year? Why did we do that? We wanted to see how much the child had grown, right? It was fun to see how much healthy…
When You Are Tested and Tempted
John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost is fairly well known even if it isn’t fairly well read. It’s a retelling of the fall of Adam and Eve and hence humanity from God’s original created perfection. Much less well known, unfortunately, is the sequel, Paradise Regained. Especially striking about the latter…
Where the Spirit of the Lord Is, There is Freedom
This is President’s Weekend when our nation remembers… to buy cars and go on vacation. In addition to those things, we also remember the births of two of our greatest presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Both Washington and Lincoln were instrumental in America being the land of freedom that…
Who Are You Leaning On?
I had a nice time in Florida both at Red Sox Fantasy Camp, where for the second year in a row my team made it all the way to the championship game only to lose in the finals. Still it was a great week for me to share with my…
Behind The Walls
Recently, Dave and I watched the latest spider man movie. Every few years there is a new Batman or super hero movie out. Maybe the super hero movies are meant to counter the zombie apocalypse movement that’s so popular today. I wonder if people are fascinated with zombies and apocalyptic…
