The Kingdom of God
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. 2 Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 “Blessed are those who mourn,…
The Greatness of God
“Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God. 2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that she has served her term, that her penalty is paid, that she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins. 3 A voice cries out: “In the wilderness prepare the way…
The Joy of Trusting in God
While sitting in the dentist’s office in December I was perusing a magazine and saw the following statistic: “Percentage of Roman Catholics who knew Genesis was the first book in the Bible: 41%. Percentage of Atheists and Agnostics who knew: 72 %.” I don’t mean to pick on our Roman…
New Day, New You
Happy New Year’s. There’s always something wonderful about the first new day of the year. So many people celebrate New Year’s Eve with parties and by going places like time square…we usually watch the count down on TV if we manage to stay awake. Readers Digest & Better Homes and…
Light in the Darkness
“And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And…

Bearing Witness to the Light
Did you see any of the beautiful sunsets we had earlier this past week or even yesterday? Living on Cape Cod we are blessed to be able to see the sun rise and set over the water if we choose. Seeing the beauty of a sunrise or sunset, recognizing the…
Taking the Long View
I want to begin today by talking about waiting. Many of us are like Inigo Montoya in the movie The Princess Bride, we hate waiting. Christmas is three weeks from today and for young children waiting for Christmas can feel like a long time. For those of us who are…
Guests and Gifts
This is the first Sunday of Advent; it is the beginning of marking the weeks leading up to the celebration of the birth of Jesus. One of the best known aspects of Luke’s birth narrative is that when Mary and Joseph arrived in Bethlehem “there was no room for them…
Joyful Giving
Good morning! I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to share with you all this morning. It’s always a good sign when the senior pastor invites you back up to preach…either my first sermon went well or he couldn’t find anyone else to take this Sunday! I’m hoping for the…
Joseph: Forgiveness
Last week we left Joseph when he was made Prime Minister of Egypt. He wisely laid out the plan of saving twenty percent of the crops each year during the seven years of plenty so there would be food enough to keep people alive during the seven years of famine…
Joseph: Being Prepared
It seemed appropriate to me as I was putting this series together to preach this Sunday on being prepared since it is the day after the amazing BBC Holiday Fair. The preparation and the work that goes on for months and culminates this past week when many people move into…
