9/13/26 James 2:14-27 “The Pit” We have been in the book of James for a couple of weeks and we will continue because I feel that it is very important. Today’s passage is not in the lectionary at this time. It might be later but I...
9/6/26 James 2:1-13 “His Loving Arms” Most of us remember some of the things we did when we were young. When we were young, we could get away with some things that we can’t once we get older. Or maybe I should say that we have...
Aug. 30, 2026 James 1:2-16 “4 Times Heavier than Normal” I think that there is an old spiritual song recorded by many that says, “nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen.” I feel that is a pretty accurate statement. Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen and nobody...

7/26/26 Ephesians 3:14-21 “Common God Courtesy” I think that I could safely say that we all like children. Parents love it when their kids are growing up. They should know that this is a special time for them. Things change when we become grandparents. Then we...
7/19/26 Mark 6:30-34, 53-56 “Rest in Faith!” I would guess that most of us have burned the candle at both ends. This happens at our work and at our leisure. I remember once our daughter moved from Kansas to Florida and they drove something like 16...
7/12/26 Mark 6:14-29 “We, the Cast Down Sheep!” I’m sure that you have all noticed that you are called upon every day to make decisions of some sort. Some are very important and others are not so important. Some may be wondering what time I will...
