  • Not Scattering, But Bringing Together

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 16, 2022
     | 836 views

    Looking at the story of the wasteful servant with a global perspective helps us to understand the kind of community Jesus wants to build in our lives.

    Twenty Fifth Sunday in Course 2022 When Our Lord told parables to his followers, He was saying to them, “gather around me and listen. I have a story that might help you understand God’s kingdom.” So in many cases, we ought not spend too much time trying to analyze the characters, asking which ...read more

    Seek God, do justice - before it is too late.

    A BASKET OF RIPE SUMMER FRUIT. Amos 8:1-12. This vision and its interpretation is based in a pun: the Hebrew word for “Summer fruit” sounds almost identical with the word translated “the end” (Amos 8:1-2). Read Amos 4:6-11 for a litany of the temporal judgments which the LORD laid upon ...read more

    A sermon about loving and serving God and neighbor.

    “Who Is Your Master?” Amos 8:1-12 A basket of ripe fruit…it’s delicious, but it doesn’t last long. This week, the strawberries we just bought grew layers of fuzz before we could finish them. Our bananas spotted up, becoming overripe much sooner than we expected. Peaches deteriorate fast, ...read more

    The LORD cares for the poor. So should we.

    AN INDICTMENT AGAINST THE UNSCRUPULOUS. Amos 8:4-7. You trample upon the needy and make the poor of the land fail (Amos 8:4; cf. Amos 5:11). Your religious observances are hypocritical, and you cheat your customers with false weights and measures (Amos 8:5). You enslave the poor and needy ...read more

  • You Shall Not Steal Series

    In a national time of revival in the country of Belfast in 1922-23, converted shipyard workers brought back tools and equipment they had stolen. They brought them back in such quantity, that an additional storage shed had to be built to hold the tools once stolen.

    Stealing has become a big business in our wireless age. A survey of 583 companies in the U.S. revealed: “90% of the respondents said their organizations’ computers had been breached at least once by hackers over the past 12 months.” More than 40% of the businesses surveyed stated they had spent ...read more

  • While God May Be Found (July 17, 2022)

     | 1,830 views

    Who would argue against the understanding that we live in a day when many take God for granted? One thing that eighth chapter of Amos makes clear is that moving away from God invites destruction. The opening image of ripe fruit cuts to the chase as a metaphor for God’s judgement.

    WHILE GOD MAY BE FOUND Texts: Isaiah 55:6, Amos 8:1- 2, 8:11- 12 Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Hime while He is near Amo 8:1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of ...read more

  • Harvest Time

    What are you sowing? What will your harvest be, on the Day of the Lord?

    One of the things I loved about living in South Jersey, where I served my first church, was the fresh peaches. I love peaches even more than I love sweet corn. So as soon as they started appearing, I started buying. And every time I went into the local farmer’s market (Puglia’s) I would just wander ...read more
