Rev. Donna's Weekly Sermon: March 2014

http://revdonna.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Rev Donna's Weekly Sermon. March 24, 2014. 8220;ASK SOMEONE WHO KNOWS” March 23, 2014. 8220;Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I said to them. They know what I said.”. Each year during Lent, we are reminded of Peter’s denial. In some ways, it’s old news, not something we focus on the rest of the year—kind of like “there was no room for them in the inn” or “three wise men came from the East.”. Has Jesus made a difference in your life? This “is not an abstract historical question. It is ...If Jesu...

Rev. Donna's Weekly Sermon: August 2014

http://revdonna.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Rev Donna's Weekly Sermon. August 05, 2014. Walking the Divining Line 8-3-2014. John 1:14-16, 29; I John 1:1-2:2. 8220;By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought. To walk in the same way in which he walked.”. Sometimes, I think we Christians go out of our way to complicate Jesus. Was he human? Was he more human than divine—or was it the other way around? How could he be fully human and fully divine at the same time? In seminary we used to say ad nauseum. Watson, you idiot!

Rev Donna's Weekly Sermon. April 22, 2014. 8220;Do you not know that I have power to release you and power to crucify you? The whole problem was, Pilate could not think of one reason to kill Jesus.

http://revdonna.blogspot.com/2015/04/tell-people-april-5.html

Rev Donna's Weekly Sermon. April 21, 2015. Tell People April 5. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning and his clothing white as snow. It was so frightening, the big Roman guards with their swords and shields fainted—“and for fear of them the guards trembled and became like dead men” (28:4). Heh, heh, heh! The chief priests and elders, the roman guards and citizens, their ...

Rev Donna's Weekly Sermon. June 24, 2015. THE GIFT OF GENEROSITY. The Gift of Generosity. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life. This is a sermon about generosity. You could consider it the “Stewardship Sermon” after all, it is that time of year! By my way of thinking, the best chance—the highest hope and the finest opportuni...

Rev Donna's Weekly Sermon. June 24, 2015. THEN THE WIND CEASED. Then the wind ceased, and there was dead calm. He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Couldn’t he have waited till morning? Then we could at least see what was about to kill us! We might have had a fighting chance! This is a sermon not about having a fighting chance—it is a sermon about knowing who Jesus Christ truly is. The disciples, even after they have come through the storm, still don’t know who Jesus is! Who is this Jesus? Our lives&#82...
