    Object: A treasure chest containing photos of some of your family members and friends, and a small, worn-out bag or purse. The treasure chest could be as simple as a small, metal lockbox, or you could have some fun with a larger box that actually looks like a treasure chest.

    Personal rant here — since childhood I’ve been annoyed that the winners of the 100-meter dash at the Olympics are hailed as the world’s fastest humans. To me it’s been obvious that the greatest, and fastest, athletes are the women and men who endure the trials and tribulations throughout the 26.2-mile marathons, and who then somehow find it within themselves to sprint to the finish line...

    Isaiah 1:1, 10-20 and Psalm 50:1-8, 22-23
    Bernie Siegel writes a story for one of Jack Canfield’s Chicken Soup for the Soul books. The story was called “Forgiven.”  Sigel wrote about Edward, a nurse at a nursing home, who took special care of a woman who hadn’t walked for six years. She often asked him about God and death, and finally one night, she asked if he was...

    Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; be like those who are waiting for their master to return… (Luke 12:35-36)

    Some songs have a life of their own. Or maybe it’d be better to say, some songs have a life like a tree. The seed was planted long ago, deep within the fertile soil of pain and suffering that enriches music and lyrics with depth and meaning. The roots,...

    Call to Worship:

    Jesus calls us to be ready for him, for we shall encounter him at unexpected times and in unexpected ways. In our worship today, let us prepare to meet with Jesus.



    Invitation to Confession:

    Jesus, sometimes we don't bother to make ourselves ready for you.

    Lord, have mercy.

    Jesus,...

    Those who bring thanksgiving as their sacrifice honor me; to those who go the right way I will show the salvation of God.
    -- Psalm 50:23

    Psalm 50 complements the passage from Isaiah that is critical of people who perform the acts of worship but do not allow their acts of worship to shape their daily lives. Psalm 50 is a vision of judgment centered on the relation between...

    I want to talk about heroes today. We all have them. Our heroes are men and women that we look up to. Our heroes are those individuals that inspire us and help us to strive to be our very best.

    There is a cute story about a Texan who was trying to impress on a Bostonian, the valor of the heroes of the Alamo. After finishing his story about Sam Houston, Davy Crockett, and countless...

    Jesus tells us, "Don't be afraid," but it seems to me there is a lot to be afraid of. "Sell your possessions," he says, "give alms ... risk ... be dressed for action ... have your lamps lit ... be prepared ... be alert." Sounds very ominous, quite scary to me.

    Christopher Reeves, the actor, knows what it is to be afraid. On Memorial Day weekend, 1995, in a tragic fall from his horse,...

    "Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom. Listen to the teaching of our God, you people of Gomorrah" (1:10; cf. Genesis 19).

    Sodom. Gomorrah. Remember? Places of wickedness, of violence, of perversity. Do you know any place like that? Places where sexuality is twisted and relationships are corrupted and social order is breaking down? Places where people seek to gratify personal...
