Season of Pentecost -- Ephesians 3 and a third rule for Leadership!
Sunday Jul 08, 2018
Sunday Jul 08, 2018
The leadership principle is pretty simple: There is a God and you are not it! I play with that during the text in different ways, but the real thing is for us to be open the revelation of God in our hearts, but inviting God in. Can we just let God be God and we get out of the way of blocking entrance or even worse perhaps, inviting in, but then not encouraging God to live in all the rooms of the house.
This is the 9:00 AM Service.
Ephesians 3: 14-21. Jan Woodmansee is the liturgist and does the reading.
Thank you to the various commentaries in Feasting on the Word. Wonderful resource.

This Side of Easter: Being Surprised (May 6, 2018)
Friday May 25, 2018
Friday May 25, 2018
This is Acts 10 where Peter is surprised by what God is calling him to do, set aside almost everything he has previously known. What is it that we have previously held as true and God has surprised us with what we need to do?

Unafraid -- Setting the Stage
Thursday Jan 25, 2018
Thursday Jan 25, 2018
This series springs from the well dug by the Reverend Adam Hamilton, Church of the Resurrection, Leawood, Kansas.
This is getting started with the idea of Unafraid. We actually live in a time of borderline irrational fear. The numbers are good. We are healthy, wealthy, and longest lived people and for some reason, we are more and more afraid.
Sermon draws from Isaiah 41: 1-10, Psalm 56: 3-4 and Philippians 4: 6-7.
This starts a six week series on Fear. The first sermon is on how much of fear is more imaginary than real. Question is "what are you afraid of". I know FDR is not Jesus but "the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself" is part of the idea if not the message.
FEAR can at times be False Events Appearing Real. At times we live in a world where smoke detectors are going off but it is because their batteries are low, not because there is anything to really fear. Topical sermon so form will roughly be: The element of the human condition we are going to look at (Unnecessary Fear), exegete that element of the HC, what does scripture say about it (the Isaiah, Psalm, Philippians and of course Jesus (sermon on the mount)), and then application.
We do live in times where Auden's "Age of Anxiety" is incomplete and for whatever reason we live in an "Age of High Anxiety." Real?
