Transfiguration Sunday -- Jesus Revealed in our Valleys
Monday Mar 04, 2019
Monday Mar 04, 2019
The Transfiguration Text from Luke. I felt a number of weeks ago that focusing on the valley experience was where the Holy Spirit was carrying me (us?). There is a good bit of pain at this church over the recent General Conference. I have tried the last several weeks to minimize direct discussion of General Conference, and focus more on implied elements. This day, I felt a direct discussion was in order. All I can tell anyone is that I agonized over what to say, and this is what God provided me.
This is from 9:00 AM. I may also do the 10:30 service, which was a little longer.

Epiphany + 6 - Sow a New Life
Monday Feb 25, 2019
Monday Feb 25, 2019
First Corinthians 15 meets Luke 6 with a touch of For Every One Born, A Place at the Table. Our choir performing this piece is shared.
Invaluable help here from Rev. Kerry Greenhill. Her opening prayer, Call to Worship, Confession and Pastoral Prayer were exquisite.
I had to add the Youth Choir with their I Believe by Mark Miller. A great piece and something they do quite well.
I confess that General Conference 2019 in St. Louis was in my mind. I don't think I mention it directly.
The sermon starts about 11:30 or so and goes to 38:00 or so. A little longer than is my norm. Kerry's Litany of Commitment wraps up the Sermon.

Epiphany + 5 -- Blessed to be a Blessing
Saturday Feb 23, 2019
Saturday Feb 23, 2019
The various scriptures for this Sunday are HERE. The sermon is from the Luke with touches from the Psalm and the (unread) Jeremiah.
I wonder if the title doesn't give the big idea to us: "Blessed to be a Blessing."
