![]() Too often people feel as though God is too distant and doesn't care about us and our lives. It makes sense for many to feel this way, we never see God. Job journeys through a similar process... it's a common one in our human existence. What if we haven't been able to see God because too often we attribute humanness to God rather than seeing how God is alive and acting in our every moment? Job learns to see God a new light, by seeing how God is a Verb... an action moving in our lives and all creation. (scirpture readings taken from lectionary readings.)

![]() Most of us likely pretended to be the heroes that we'd watch on TV or in the movies. I did. I'd pretend to fly, have great strength or have some sort of special ability. The disciples James and John seem to desire similar greatness. Jesus slows them down a bit and teaches that greatness is something else. That something else is within our grasp with his teaching and guidance. Please enjoy this sermon I like to call, Heroes of Faith. (Mark 10:35-45) ![]() During my wedding day, I never anticipated the level of transformation I was to experience while my wife and I received so much love and support from all of our friends and family. It was a great feeling of thanksgiving. Much happened along the way allow that allowed that evening of blessing to occur. Jesus asks us to consider the things that happen to foster this moments of great thanksgiving as he encourages us to look outside of our own selves and ponder the beauty around us in friends and nature. He says it removes all worry... but what about the really big worries? Can we eliminate the big ones too with his methods? I hope you find this sermon helpful in answering just that. (Matthew 6:25–33) referenced material - http://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/brother-west-1.3095693 ![]() Jesus gets quized on his stance on divorce. His answer is pretty strict. Scratch a little deeper and what else is Jesus getting at. If you have suffered from a deep wound created by a failed relationship, or any other deep wound, this sermon is meant for you. In Christ, our God cares much more about healing your wounds and ending the injustice that often factor. (Mark 10:2-16) (http://www.cbc.ca/radio/popup/audio/player.html?autoPlay=true&clipIds=2676392185). |
