Date: January 1, 2012

Liturgical Sunday: First Sunday after Christmas

RCL Scripture: Psalm 148; Isaiah 61:10-62:3; Galatians 4:4-7; Luke 2:22-40

Sermon Title: So what does “time” mean anyway?

Knox Presbyterian [audio:https://wordsfromthemiddle.ca/wp-content/uploads/120101_-_Knox.mp3|titles=So what does “time” mean anyway?]

St. Mark’s Presbyterian [audio:https://wordsfromthemiddle.ca/wp-content/uploads/120101_-_St_Marks.mp3|titles=So what does “time” mean anyway?]

The beginning of a new calendar year lends us an opportunity to think about a wide range of things from resolutions to predictions; this year it made me think about time. I am by no means suggesting that my notion abou how God experiences time is correct but I do think it is a possibility.

Blessings,
Barry

It’s a puzzle
ByBarry 2023/04/022023/04/02
There are many puzzles in our lives going from the entertaining kind, jigsaw puzzles for example to the more important ones. Important is a very flexible word and a subjective one at that. For some, an important puzzle is why does toast fall butter side down? For others, it is how Ensteinian physics can be…

What does a “little while” mean?

What does a “little while” mean anyway? Peter in his first letter talks about a “little while” in the context of the early church’s suffering and that it will end in that amount of time. I can’t recall what the best estimate for when Peter wrote the letter but it is more than a thousand…

How do you know that?

Servant?
ByBarry 2018/10/21
A short word before we get to anything else. This Sunday Knox Presbyterian had the great privilege of witnessing a member joining by confession of faith and four, yes you read that correctly, FOUR baptisms. It made for a delightful service but you will notice quite a lot of extra voices during the sermon. I…
