An Idle Tale?

He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: …….  Luke:24: 6-12. 

The Passion According to St. Luke

Holy Week begins. We will tell the “old, old story” that is central to our faith: The last week of Jesus’ life… His entry into Jerusalem, his betrayal, arrest, interrogation, and crucifixion as a criminal. We tell of the sting of death… we tell the story so we will remember…. …There is no Resurrection without the Crucifixion. …There is no Triumph without Suffering, …no Crown without a Cross, and there is… no new life without death.  Luke:22,23. 

Reconnecting to Our Roots

We will hear the parable of the Prodigal Son. Because this is such a familiar story, our challenge is to hear the scripture with fresh ears.

Let us journey together. ……

To say they are hesitant to follow is an understatement. The “What If’s” begin to take…

“Living in the Light: The Sermon Nobody Wanted to Hear”

Have you ever heard God speaking, but you just didn’t want to listen? Have you tried to push away people who, in looking back, you now realize have been the presence of Christ in your life? Sometimes God speaks and we do everything within our power to shut out the Still Small Voice. The sermon comes from Luke 4: 21-30. Then he began to say to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.——–
