  • Emphasis Preaching Journal

    David Kalas
    When one of our children was young, she pretended to throw something at me from close range, and then she cheerfully declared, “Ha! Made you flinch!” I remember from my own elementary years that that was always regarded as something of an achievement — to make someone blink or to make someone flinch. In reality, of course, it is little more than a test of one’s reflexes. It’s my reflex to blink...

    Jeremiah 2:4-13
    Regarding verses 6-7 of the lesson John Calvin observes:

    … there is nothing more common than for the ungodly when they are proved guilty, to have recourse to this subterfuge, that they acted with good intention, when they gave themselves up to their own superstitions. (Calvin’s Commentaries, Vol.IX/1, p.78)

    This is a...

    Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. (v. 2)

    “In all of my life I have never met a person who was more Christ-like than Laurinda Hampton.” This is a direct quote from my farewell sermon at Cargill United Methodist Church in Janesville, where I served as an associate pastor from 1986 - 1989. With 2,...

    Object: This is a role play activity for the children. You will want a container of some kind of treat to give to all of the children.

    Note: This is a fairly brief message as presented, but that may help keep an emphasis on the simplicity of the message if you stress it.

    Call to Worship:
    Jesus knew the importance of humility and used a banquet to teach people about it. As we feast on him today, let us make sure we come to him with unassuming spirits.

    Invitation to Confession:
    Jesus, sometimes we are unaware of our own arrogance.
    Lord, have mercy.
    Jesus, sometimes we spot other people's haughtiness but...

    Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.
    -- Hebrews 13:1-2

    As Hebrews drew to a close, the author exhorted them to a style of life together that would embody the faith that they proclaimed. It was centered in mutual love that continued to build up the body. It was out of...

    James Evans
    The writer of Psalm 81 employs a most interesting mixed metaphor. It is not mixed, however, because the psalmist was careless and neglected his subject matter. On the contrary, it is because of an important insight into human nature that the psalmist has us "eating with our ears."

    Verse 10 rehearses what was, and is, the most basic confession of faith for followers of the Lord. God...

    There are three words I hope you will take home from church today. The words are "Only The Lonely." As you think about these words, the assurances of God's Word will comfort and strengthen you. But I'm getting ahead of my story. Before we get to these three words, we need to look at the full text of Luke 14:1, 7-14. That involves looking at three other words: humility, hospitality, and hope....

    It is never a pleasant prospect to deal with someone who has a complaint with you. As a new pastor, and a very young one at that, one of the things I struggled with most was the experience of conflict with members. I remember as if it were yesterday a significant misunderstanding that developed between the congregation's "matriarch" and me very early in my time there. I prayed about the...

    Words Of Assurance
    In this be confident: that the grace of God is active enough to forgive, and the love of God is powerful enough to transform.

    Pastoral Prayer
    Almighty God, you spoke your Word in the beginning and gave us life, you spoke your Word in Jesus Christ and brought us wholeness. We rejoice that by your grace your Word continues on the lips of women...
