    do we pray like a Pharisee to impress God or like the tax collector to be impressed by God

    God, I thank you that I am not like those conservative Episcopalians who walked away refusing to acknowledge gospel hospitality, love, and inclusiveness. God, I thank you that I am not like the agenda-driven liberal Episcopalians who neither understand nor respect the holy scriptures. God, I ...read more

    have we been faithful to Jesus or our own desires?

    ARE WE THE RICH MAN OR LAZARUS? LUKE 16:19-31 This is another one of these parables attributed to Jesus that causes consternation to preachers everywhere.

    do we show ingratitude as the nine cleansed lepers or gratitude as the Samaritan?

    CLEANSED OR HEALED?

    beware of the trap of collecting 'things' that make you want to collect more

    Jesus said, “Take Care! Watch Out! Beware!” Jesus said, "Watch Out! Don't always be wishing for what you don't have. For real life and real living are not related to how rich we are." (Luke 12:15) This is a very appropriate warning to people in America; we seem to be obsessed ...read more

     | 2,332 views

    Are we stuff in our 'comfort zone' or willing to step out of it to follow Jesus?

    There is a popular term that I would like us to consider: “comfort zone.” A person’s comfort zone refers to any place where the person feels comfortable, safe, free from threat or even challenge. Life there is marked by ease and familiarity. It’s natural to like one’s comfort zone, but most of us ...read more

    Jesus gave us one commandment: to love one another, no matter how hard it is for us

    John 13:34-35 I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. (John 13:34-35) In this scripture, the command to love one another is like a candle in this dark and brutal world, in danger of being blown out by current events. We ...read more

    Luke 13:31-35 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our strength, and our redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14). We hear in the Gospel that Jesus refers to Herod as "that fox" (Luke 13:32). This is a symbolic reference to 'the ...read more

    we are instructed to care for our brothers and sisters, but also pray for those who hate us, remembering that we must do both during the assault on Ukraine by Russia

    Luke 10:29 One of the primary ministries of Deacons in the Episcopal Church is to 'take the church to the world, and the world to the church.' This is going to be one of those Sundays.

    racism in the United States and the churches is counter to Jesus' teachings

    LUKE 6:17-26 During the month of February, you may have noticed that we have been singing hymns from Lift Every Voice and Sing. This hymnal is part of The Episcopal Church’s recognition of Black History Month and its African-American congregants. We will continue to use these hymns as part of ...read more

    Do we make demands of Jesus to do what we want or follow the path Jesus sets for us?

    I want to set the stage before we examine the scripture: Jesus had been traveling, preaching, and teaching for three years with these twelve disciples. Everything he had done was in preparation for them continuing his ministry – and time and time again, it was evident that they were “not getting” ...read more

    A hometown prophet is never accepted in his home

    We just heard that Jesus went home to Nazareth to visit the family. By then, he was well-known as a teacher and rabbi and healer. You would have expected there would be a parade or a celebration that the hometown boy was back home. Because of his fame as a preacher and healer, the people of ...read more

    Just as Jesus stepped forward to claim His identity, so must we take the first step to follow Him
