Jesus Christmas Wish List (Sermon Video)

By on Tuesday, December 11th, 2012 | No Comments

What is on “Jesus Christmas Wish List?” I know what’s on my list.  I know what my wife wants and what my children want. But what about Jesus?  It’s his birthday, after all.  What is on “Jesus Christmas Wish List?” I do not think he needs a new Ipad, Ipod, or Iphone.  I do not […]

God is Love – God is Trinity – God is Dance

By on Wednesday, December 5th, 2012 | No Comments

“God is love!” So says the scripture.  As such, God is by nature relational.  God is not some abstract omni-being who is the byproduct of post enlightenment thought and theology.  God cannot be described merely by the use of philosophical terms like the “unmoved mover” or “first cause.” “God is Love!” Because God is LOVE – […]

Throughout Advent I am reading Michael Slaughter’s book “Christmas is Not Your Birthday: Experience the Joy of Living and Giving Like Jesus.”  Along the way, many of the themes Slaughter addresses will, no doubt, find their way into my preaching, teaching, and thinking.

I use to preach Jesus as Savior. While I think that is true, it turns out it is not enough. That makes Christianity little more than fire insurance, and it totally discounts the life of Jesus, because it teaches that Jesus simply came to die. Next I started preaching that Jesus was Lord. That made his […]

Not Enough

By on Tuesday, September 11th, 2012 | No Comments

We really don’t get it very often!  We really don’t get Jesus! We think Jesus was just some sort of event planner for our religious amusement. We think Jesus is just some guy we turn to for some sort of religious experiences. If that’s how we see Jesus, that’s just NOT ENOUGH! Jesus claimed to be much […]

Do Not Fear, Only Believe

By on Friday, July 6th, 2012 | No Comments

Barbara Brown Taylor says that one of the lines in this passage (Mark 5:21-43) amount to Jesus shortest sermon.  I would suggest that they are not just his shortest sermon, but perhaps his best. Jesus says, “Do Not Fear, Only Believe!” One sentence  –  Five words  –  Two imperatives “Do not fear…”  AND “…only believe.” […]
