 A sermon based on Acts 10:44-48 “I now KNOW that God shows no partiality.” That's the summary sentence for Peter's journey here in Acts and today's scripture reading is the direct result of it. God's love knows no boundaries. Gods love knows no limits. God's love knows no color – no sex – no age – no sexual orientation – no nationality – no religion. God's love has no partiality. Add Comment  Based on 1 John 3:11-24. "How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need yet refuses help?" That kind of gets right to the point doesn't it?  A message based on Mark 1:21-28 There is no doubt that we are called to help others live unbound lives, free from the demons which limit them, but we must not be so arrogant or blind as to think that we have no such demons in our lives.  A sermon based on Mark 1:14-20. WHY did Jesus ask them to follow? To create community. A community that follows - is on the move, not stagnate. In a world of “spiritual but not religious,” in a world where so many consider themselves Christian, but not “church-goers,” I can think of few things more important than creating a genuine community that does not allow the expectations of the Institutionalized Church to bog us down and cause us to lose focus on the One we follow. Because when we do it, it will change everything.  A sermon based on 1 Samuel 3:1-20 and on the occasion of Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday. "You see, God has plans for you. God has told you what is right, to seek justice, to practice kindness and to walk humbly with God. That – that is your prophetic calling. That – that is the discipline of the priesthood of royal believers. That – that is God calling out to you in the dark night of oppression, discrimination and marginalization which still happens in our great nation. "  A New Year's Day message based on Colossians 3:12-17. After the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future have each paid Ebeneezer Scrooge a visit, Scrooge makes this vow, “I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year." In moving from Christmas, which we celebrated last Sunday, to New Year's this Sunday, I think that Scrooges' pledge is very apropos for us to consider today.  A Christmas Eve homily based on Isaiah 9:2-7. "At Christmas love came down. Emanuel. Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. The world was graced with Christmas Light, a light that walked among us and told us to spread that light unto the ends of the Earth. And therein lies the secret of Christmas that we all too frequently overlook the rest of the year."  A sermon based on Philippians 1:3-11. "Love - love is not a luxury for this life - love is a necessity, if we hope to survive. If we cannot love, fear will win the day and we will turn on each other over things as small as getting our own way or as slight as the name we use for God. Love is what we were formed by, conceived with and created for. Love is what life, what God, is about and therefore a life fully lived has no room for fear. Love is one of the most profound human experiences. It is one of the noblest aspirations."  A message for the 1st Sunday of Advent based on Isaiah 64:1-9.
