Freed From Guilt

By on Tuesday, April 5th, 2011 | No Comments

Imagine the scene.  Jesus and His disciples are at a dinner party in the home of a prominent Pharisee.  Everyone is talking theology and politics.  The dinner is quite peaceful.  All of a sudden, the tranquility of the evening is shattered, as a prostitute walks across the room, anoints the feet of Jesus and wipes […]

This Christianity Thing Is Beyond Belief

By on Sunday, April 3rd, 2011 | No Comments

Oswald Chambers wrote:  “There is a difference between devotion to principles and devotion to a person.  Hundreds of people today are devoting themselves to phases of truth, to causes.  Jesus Christ never asks us to devote ourselves to a cause or a creed; He asks us to devote ourselves to Him.”  At no place in […]

LIGHT (continued) – Garbage In, Garbage Out!

By on Friday, April 1st, 2011 | No Comments

This is the continuation from the previous post based on John 9 (the story of the man “born blind.”  Jesus and the disciples pass by a man blind since birth. The disciples ask Jesus a question – a question based on their G.I.G.O. theological premise (“Garbage In, Garbage Out.”) This is a stinking thinking, twisted […]

LIGHT

By on Friday, April 1st, 2011 | No Comments

John 9:1-41 tells a story about blindness and sight, darkness and light.  On the one hand, this is a story about Jesus giving sight to a man born blind – light to a man who had lived his entire life in darkness.  On the other hand, it is also a story about people who thought […]

You Want A Revolution

As we make our way through LENT, I have been thinking about ADVENT. That makes sense because Incarnation and Atonement are tied together – and they mean more than just missing our on hell and eventually finding our way into heaven. At least that what Mary thinks. Read Luke 1:46-55 When seeking a biblical personality […]

Situated in an established Richmond neighborhood, the church has been involved in a process called “Pursuing Missional Faithfulness.” The aim of the process is that we ponder our current setting and discern God’s will for out future course of […]

Nicodemus

The following is a segment of the sermon for the Second Sunday of Lent, based on John 3:1-17.  The title “Pharisee” means “the separated ones.”  Pharisees were a select group of no more than 6000 Jewish men.  They aimed to live better lives than the rest of the populace, and most of them were hitting […]

LOVE

Read I Corinthians 12:31 – 13:13 Recently, I received a wonderful compliment about my church. A person, who has been a guest in our worship services told me that I am the pastor of an extremely friendly church. “You can tell that the people in your church really love one another,” he said. “Not only […]

Friendship

Read I Samuel 20:1-42 “Real men don’t cry at movies!” I got this sagely admonition from an adult male when I was a teenager. I’ve tried to live up to that counsel but sometimes it’s been difficult. I still remember the first movie at which I ever shed a tear. It was “Brian’s Song,” the […]
