If you were wondering

This week in Romans (Rom 12:9-21 to be exact) we are dealing with a hodge podge of things to do. I consulted some other resources to see if I was missing some subtle connection and realized that the connection is found in Romans 12:1-2 and can be summed up, more or less, as, we demonstrate our love for God by serving him and loving and serving our fellow human beings.

Today’s part of Romans lays out a bunch of things we can do to that give evidence of our love for God. Or to put it another way, here is Paul reminding us of a number of things we already know in a nice package.

There is no shortage of advice these days. You can get it from the traditional sources, namely your friends, family and co-workers, or, you can get it from complete strangers on the internet. When you are looking for advice about what you should do as a follower of Jesus Christ, I’d recommend seeing what the Bible says . . . and that’s what we did today.

    What to do with “stuff” and what is “stuff” anyway?

    The sermon title this week is a couple of things. First, it is intentionally provocative and ambiguous. Second, it is a conscious homage to the noted political scientist and philosopher George Carlin. “Stuff.” We all have it. Some of us have too much, some too little. Some stuff is physical, some is metaphysical. It doesn’t…

    He is risen!

    The butterfly might not be most obvious symbol for today. I don’t know where you are but we had windchill values of -30 C this morning so there wasn’t much spring laying around. But, the butterfly is my favourite resurrection symbol. There is something amazing in how a butterfly begins as a caterpillar, seems to…
