All Sermons
Maundy Thursday
April 17, 2025
Recall this is a Last Supper of the end of Jesus’ earthly life with the disciples. He reminded them that very soon, he was going to be taken away. He was going to be taken away after this event and very soon he was going to be crucified. And he wanted to eat this meal,… Read More »
Blessed are the Persecuted
April 13, 2025
This is the last of the Beatitudes that Jesus spoke. But perhaps the most difficult one. I might say today this is quite an intimidating sermon. Most sermons are intimidating for me, but this one is particularly so because of the subject matter about being persecuted or suffering for righteousness’ sake. So, I say from… Read More »
Blessed are the Peacemakers
April 6, 2025
I am confident that each of us here today probably have something we are not at peace with right now. Maybe it is your health or the health of a family member. Maybe it is your job or financial situation. And perhaps there are troubling family relationships where there is no real peace. We live… Read More »
Blessed are the Pure in Heart
March 30, 2025
If I were to ask you today, “How many of you see yourself as being pure in heart?” I wonder how many of us would raise our hands. And if we were to do that, I’m sure most of us might be like, “Mmmm… I don’t know, maybe, I don’t know…I hope so…but I’m not… Read More »
Blessed are the Merciful
March 23, 2025
First Century Context: Mercy Was Opposed As we continue in this series on the Beatitudes, we focus on the theme of mercy. Very similar to meekness, mercy is often associated with weakness. I came across a writing by a Christian historian, relating how mercy was viewed by many of those who heard these words when… Read More »
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
March 16, 2025
We are continuing today in this series preaching from the Beatitudes. Many commentators and biblical scholars see these Beatitudes of Jesus as operating principles of the kingdom of God. I certainly believe they are correct. This means that Jesus desires those who are his disciples will have these traits or qualities as part of their… Read More »
Blessed are the Meek
March 9, 2025
I just want to emphasize in this series that Jesus lays out some operating principles within the kingdom of God. We are to enact these operating principles in our personal lives as people in the kingdom of God. Or people who have the kingdom of God within them. Yet I find there are many misunderstandings… Read More »
Blessed Are Those Who Mourn
March 5, 2025
There are different types of mourning. I believe most of us think of mourning in terms of loss or separation. It could be separation from our loved ones through divorce or death. Or perhaps, less intensely, impersonal objects or items of affection that we lose or experience unwanted separation in our lives. Broken hearted lovers… Read More »
To the Saints at Five Rivers
March 2, 2025
Often, the Apostle Paul, in his letters to the churches would include the words “grace and peace” to the saints at that church. I thought it would be a good title for our sermon today…for you are called to be holy, yes saints! We might be like the Apostle Peter when he had his vision… Read More »
