In this space I plan to post sermons freshly delivered, old sermons that may benefit from fresh thinking, and reflections on life and faith. Constructive observations and reflections are welcome. I would appeal to Paul as he wrote to the church in Rome (12:18) "If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all." So come on in. Take a look around. Let me know you were here. And may the grace of God be with you. --Jess

A Most Unusual Communion
A Most Unusual Communion
Sometimes I have to laugh at myself. When I started this experience as Stated Supply, way back in the month of May, I created a chart to schedule my preaching plans. For these three months I plugged in my scheduled vacation and the dates when Charlie, Craig, and Jody would be preaching. I then went through the lectionary and read over the scriptures for each Sunday, making decisions about what passages I would use and the direction I anticipated for the message. So, in early May I had planned out three months of worship.

Facing the Storm
Facing the Storm
My name is Bartholomew. I bring you greetings from the Christians who are worshipping in Antioch, Jews and Greeks, and from my colleague in ministry, Matthew. Matthew and I have worked together for about thirty years, now. It’s hard for me to believe that it has been thirty years since our Lord was glorified and we were empowered to carry on his mission.
