    Teeth
    by C. David McKirachan
    Matthew 18:15-20

    Confrontation is one of my least favorite things. Because of that I have a staff, about six feet of cedar, knarled by age and elements leaning in a corner of my study. It’s to remind me that as a...

    Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done....” (v. 19)

    Good morning boys and girls,

    Have you ever played tug-o-war?  Goes like this: two sides pull on the rope against each other. Each of the two sides tries to pull the other over a designated line. The group that is pulled over the line loses. The other...

    They were huddled together leaning against straw stacks in a corner of the old barn, where they wouldn't be disturbed. They each had their eyes tightly shut, and were keeping their hands held firmly together.

    "Please, God," prayed Ruth, "give us a dog of our very own."

    Her sister and brother nodded in fervent agreement. "Yes, God, please," added Tim,...

    Wayne Brouwer
    Thomas Browne said that "the vices we scoff at in others laugh at us from within ourselves." More than any other relational failure this is true of hurt and vengeance.

    When the great nineteenth-century Spanish General, Ramon Narvaez, lay dying in Madrid, a priest was called in to give him last rites. "Have you forgiven your enemies?" the padre asked.

    "Father," confessed...

  • Sermon

    Douglas B. Bailey
    Many times, especially during Lent, we hear that Jesus is the Lamb of God who shed his blood on the cross for our sins. But how do you feel when the doorbell rings, and you open the door, and there is someone holding a Bible who starts up a conversation leading up to questions such as, "Have you been saved? Have you been saved through the blood of the Lamb?" Or how do you feel when you turn on...

    Introduction

    A popular television show in 2000 was the CBS program, Big Brother. It was a reality--based show that allowed the viewers to watch and then vote on who should get booted out of the house. The first contestant to be expelled by the viewers was a man by the name of William, a 27--year--old youth counselor from Philadelphia. He got the boot because he had spent...

    Call To Worship

    Like Hebrews of Aaron's and Moses' time, called at the first Passover to gather as families and share the sacrificed lamb of a goat or sheep, this congregation also is called to worship together as a family. Come, let us worship our sustaining God with praise and thanksgiving.

    William H. Shepherd
    Good old golden rule days. The children will be going back to school this week, if they aren't there already. Yellow school buses reemerge from their hidden garages; crossing guards don their white shoulder belts and pick up their stop signs. Parents stock up on spiral notebooks and highlighter pens, while teachers give themselves bouquets of freshly sharpened No. 2 pencils. You can just smell...

  • Commentary

    Last week we suggested that if Genesis is the account of God's election, then Exodus is the story of God's redemption. Today we take the next step in the unfolding drama: If Moses is the person God uses to redeem, then the sacrifice is the means.

    The Passover may be the most deeply rooted of all celebrations among devout Jews. Little wonder. As...

  • Children's sermon

    Good morning, boys and girls. Do you ever get into arguments? (Let them answer.) Sometimes arguments are fought over the strangest things, aren't they? In our house (list your own things here) I've heard an argument start over who would get to read the cereal box during breakfast. Has that ever happened to you? (Let them answer.) It happened like this. Someone was eating breakfast. This box...

    Good morning, boys and girls. How many of you take your lunch to school or to your day care center? (Let them answer.) When you take your lunch do you carry it in a bag or in a pail? (Let them answer.) I brought a lunch pail from my house today to show you. Do any of you have a pail like this one? (Let them answer.) This lunch pail makes me think of this morning's lesson. In the lesson we...

    Good morning! This morning I'm going to ask you to fill this glass full. (Let the children put the stones in the glass container. When they appear to have the glass full ask:) Is the glass full? (Let them answer.)

    I brought this glass to show you something about how God's kingdom works. God asks us to do good and treat people kindly, with respect, and with politeness. God...
