    Looking For Mr. Right

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 6, 2023
     | 280 views

    Jesus wants to be loved for the right reasons.

    I expect most of you know that fear of commitment is endemic in today’s society. It's not surprising. I expect many if not most of us have experienced - or at least witnessed - bad relationships or are the children of divorce ourselves. If you've gotten burnt, you're more than a little ...read more

    Freedom Day

     | 710 views

    All our days were given by God and belong to God; but on the Sabbath day he gives us freedom as well.

    Leah didn’t know why she kept coming to the synagogue. She counted the days up in her head... every seven days for eighteen years, it had to be at least 400 times, she thought. At first people were sorry for her, and someone would take her arm to help her up the steps to section reserved for the ...read more

    Each of these incidents is a sign from God reminding us that life is temporary but that God is eternal.

    What’s the first thing you think of when you hear of falling towers and people dying? Right. Nine-eleven. And looking around on the web I found that even though this is the gospel passage for the third Sunday in Lent of Cycle C of the lectionary, by far the most sermons were written on this topic ...read more

    The Price Of Peace

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 4, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 479 views

    Jesus warns his followers that the consequences of following him will be painful and disruptive, and that they’d better be prepared for it.

    The disciples were confused. When the Messiah came, peace and righteousness would reign from one end of the earth to the other. All the prophets agreed. And if Jesus was the Messiah as they were all now pretty sure he was, he would be the one who brought it about. He would be the Prince of Peace ...read more

    While You Wait

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 4, 2023
     | 995 views

    In these three stories about what to do until while waiting for him to come back, Jesus encourages the faithful and warns the faithless.

    If you’ve been following along this series in your Bible at home, you’ll know that we finished the series on the Sermon on the Mount last week. At that point, I returned to the Gospel passage from the revised common lectionary, which gives four readings for each Sunday and festival in the ...read more

    For The Duration

     | 335 views

    The cost of discipleship is high because nothing good comes cheap.

    Anybody planning on moving to Florida soon? Just when you thought California was going to be the new hurricane central, Idalia came back and reinstated Florida as number one. It wasn’t as bad as Hurricane Ian, but it was bad enough. And yet a lot of people still dream of retiring to Florida. I’ll ...read more

    Building Bigger Barns

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 2, 2023
     | 857 views

    The real fools are those who, being satisfied with their lives as they are, forget God, forget their neighbors, and forget their mortality.

    What is wrong with this picture? Imagine that you are in the audience that long-ago day in Judea, listening to Jesus preach. There are thousands in the crowd, but you got there early. In fact, you waited all night to get a good seat. Jesus’ reputation has grown all over Palestine, and people have ...read more

    Priorities

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 1, 2023
     | 811 views

    When Jesus comes first, everything else falls into place.

    Good morning. My name is Martha, and I don’t come out looking very good in the story I’m about to tell you. Mind you, I meant well, but meaning well doesn’t mean doing well. And of course, I was also doing what everybody expected me to do. I always have. It’s safe, I’m good at it, and besides, ...read more

    This Thing Called Love

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 1, 2023
     | 629 views

    The kind of love which Jesus models for us takes discipline, discernment, and knowledge of both God and his Word.

    The question Jesus answered for the lawyer that day was “Who is my neighbor?” But an equally important question, and one that doesn’t get asked nearly often enough, is “What is love?” Some enchanted evening you will meet a stranger across a crowded room. Neither of you has a clue what the other is ...read more

    Lost And Found

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 29, 2023
     | 727 views

    Not everybody who is lost wants to be found, and when God finds us, we often rebel - at first - against being brought home.

    Have any of you ever tried to put an injured cat into a carrying case to take it to the vet? How many of you got scratched for your pains? It doesn’t seem quite fair, does it? All you’re trying to do is help. Animals are supposed to be so intuitive; many people claim they can actually smell ...read more

    The Price Of Admission

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 28, 2023

    What does it take to get the kind of perspective that sees oneself in the light of Christ instead of the light of the world?

    How many of you watched the memorial celebrations for President Reagan a few years ago? I was really impressed by a lot of things... the number of people who came, the quality of the speeches, the beauty of the pageantry. But of all the segments, the best, to my mind, was the private interment ...read more

    The Lord of the dance invites us all - but we have to let him lead.

    You’d think John would know. After all, when Jesus came down to the Jordan to be baptized, John had just finished saying, “I baptize you with water for repentance, but one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit ...read more

    Vintage Wine

     | 759 views

    Don’t let your faith turn to vinegar. Keep it fresh by letting the newness of Jesus Christ flow through you continually.

    How many of you remember the 60’s? Some of us lived through that period, some of us have heard or read about it, and for some of us it’s as distant as the American Revolution. The 60’s were a kind of revolution too, complete with ideology and pamphleteers and civil unrest and rather more bloodshed ...read more

    Triple Threat

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 22, 2023
     | 745 views

    We have exactly the same weapons against temptation that Jesus used against Satan in the wilderness.

    How many of you remember your first day at school, or your first day at a new job? You usually get some kind of orientation, don’t you. At that new job, maybe you spent the morning in the human resources signing benefits papers and getting company policies explained to you, maybe you get led ...read more

    The King's Highway

     | 435 views

    Let us prepare our hearts to become a highway for our God.

    Over thirty percent of the bridges in this country are classified as needing major structural repairs. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re taking your life in your hands the minute you start to cross a bridge, but it does mean that, as a whole, our transportation system is wearing out. Some ...read more
