“We Are Just Sheep”

Jeremiah 23:1-6 {Prayer}             If you had to choose a creature we humans are most like … what creature would you choose?  In the nineteenth century, Charles Darwin claimed that people are most like monkeys.  Well, that was wrong then and it’s still wrong today.  Many biologists now say that people are more like rats. …

“When We Are Weak”

2 Corinthians 12:7-10 {Prayer}             As we all already know, today our nation celebrates Independence Day.  On this day in 1776 the Declaration of Independence was accepted by the leaders of the 13 original colonies.  Through our songs and prayers, we recognize that we are blessed and we give thanks to God for the blessings…

“To Laugh the Last Laugh”

Mark 5:21-43             {Prayer}             King Solomon starts Ecclesiastes 3 saying that “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.”  In verse four he says there is “a time to weep and a time to laugh.”  There is a time to mourn, to complain, to shed tears, to lament…

“Always Loving but Loving Uniquely”

Luke 15:11-32 {Prayer}             Children, children are truly a gift from God.  Even in the midst of a temper tantrum, the sassiness, or a full-blown teenage attitude, even though we may think we are being punished for the way we adults treated our parents when we were their age … despite all that … children…

“Sparing the Reaping”

Revelation 14:14-20 {Prayer}             Our reading from Revelation 14 is one which sounds like it could produce the script for a good horror movie and very well may be one of the reasons why someone may not want to read the book of Revelation.  I’m not a fan of horror movies myself as there is…

“Mystery of the Trinity”

John 3:1-17 {Prayer}             Some things, no matter how much time is spent on studying and research … some things, some things are just a mystery.  Take for example the Kryptos.  Kryptos is a mysterious encrypted sculpture which sits right outside the headquarters of the CIA in Langley, Virginia. So mysterious this is, not even…

“Is Jesus Leaving Good?”

John 16:5-15 {Prayer}             Betrayal … Denial … Hatred … Harassment … Grief.             These five words … these five words could easily describe the plot line of really any daytime soap opera.              These five words … they can also describe the emotional status of the disciples.  Let me explain.             Before the ascension…

“Stuck in the Middle”

Acts 1:1-11 {Prayer}             To quote a well-known commercial … “How do you eat an Oreo cookie?”             I know, that sounds pretty random, but you should know by now that my mind sometimes comes up with some weird ideas.  As I was reading through our text from Acts 1, as well as some other…
