Season of Pentecost: Ephesians First Rule of Church Leadership

Ephesians 1: 3-14 
Sermon one of seven from Ephesians.  Will introduce a "rule" per week.  
This week:  "Love your congregation where they are."  
 

Season of Pentecost -- If you can't get out of it, Get into it!

The 10:30 version of June 17th Sermon.  The title of "If you can't get out of it, get into it" comes from a Parker Palmer reflection I quote.  Use a couple of mountain climbing illustrations but the big idea is staying anchored in Jesus come good times or more challenging times. The other readings for this Sunday focused on horaculture themes of grafting and I used them a little.   

Season of Pentecost -- You Are the Light of the World!

 
Elder Mary Kavila preached on my behalf this June 10th last.  Her scripture was Matthew 5: 14-16.  As is usual when Mary preaches she brings both gentle understanding and a challenge to the application of the scripture.
