    I am a scoreboard watcher. I follow a lot more games than I actually watch, but since technology makes it easy to check scores on a moment’s whim, I watch a lot of scoreboards of teams and games that I am at least mildly interested in. And as I check those scores, I find myself having immediate reactions: “Great!” “Oh, that's too bad.” “Excellent!” “Nuts.” And in the midst of that sports-fan...

    Joel 2:22-32
    Martin Luther sings the praises of God’s love revealed in this lesson. He wrote:

    The love of God which lives in man loves sinners, evil persons, fools and weaklings in order to make them righteous, good, wise, and strong. Rather than seeking its own good, the love of God flows forth and bestows good. (Luther’s Works, Vol. 31, p.57)...

    Object: This message is a role-play story. You will need two children to play the roles of the Pharisee and the tax collector. I usually ask two children if they will help me as they are all coming forward for the message, but you may select them however you choose.

    Hello, everyone! (Let them respond.) Are you ready for our story today? (...

    Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, but your commandments are my delight.
    Your statutes are always righteous; give me understanding that I may live.
    (vv. 143-144)

    When I was an associate pastor in Janesville, Wisconsin one of my responsibilities was to give a lecture on spirituality once a month at a drug treatment facility. The students who attended were persons...

    Call to Worship:

    We all dislike people who blow their own trumpets, although sometimes we may be in awe of them. Jesus too deplored such behaviour and was never in awe of those who practised it. In our worship today let us open ourselves to Jesus, allowing him to see what is in our hearts.



    Invitation to Confession:

    Jesus, sometimes we...

    Every morning when sleep leaves and waking comes there is cause for praising God. Caught up, as we are, in the currents and eddies of our lives, this is easy to forget. This wonderful psalm is a reminder. God's bounty and abundance spill into our lives like waters over a causeway. God's delight in creation explodes in a million different colors. In every moment there is reason to give God praise...

    When I was a little boy growing up in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania's First Presbyterian Church, one of those Christian chalk artists with black light, neon colors, and black felt canvas who made pictures of Jesus look like those Elvis portraits for sale on the side of the road at the beach showed up as entertainment for a Sunday evening potluck dinner.

    Sparing us the turmoil of trying to...

    Today's sermon begins with this little one-person drama.

    As I stand here in this pulpit today, I am glad that I am not like that bad Pharisee. I never pray out loud just so people can see me, and hear me, and be impressed by my religious words. I give money to church, but I never boast about it. I go to church and Sunday school almost every Sunday, but I never brag about that, either...

    Mark Ellingson
    Have you ever felt that you were absolutely at the end of your rope, left without hope? Sometime during the years of 539 B.C. to 331 B.C. that is the way the people of Judah felt. It seems that their land had been ravaged by a plague of locusts which had had catastrophic consequences.

    Once a harvest has been destroyed, you cannot repair it. If a building has burned to the ground, you...
