Episodes
-
Whatever
Whatever is the working title of this message on Paul’s advice on how to stand firm in the Lord. Philippians 4:1-9 has a list of Whatever’s we are urged to heed that lead to a Peace that Passes all understanding. Peace
-
A Perfect 10
“A Perfect 10” is the title of my message on the Ten Commandments given to us, I believe, to reveal the barriers to a full and blessed life that sin creates. To be free is the greatest gift we can receive - free from the slavery of sin. Peace
-
Why?
Can water come from a rock? God through Moses made it happen. I explore this topic in today’s message entitled WHY? Peace
-
The Generous Landowner
The parable of the generous landowner leads us to question our understanding of God’s grace and whether or not it is fair! Peace
-
The Forgiveness Formula
The Forgiveness Formula.. the hardest part of loving is forgiving, but without it, there is no loving, only selfish behavior. Peace
-
Amo Ergo Sum!
Amo ergo sum! Or Seriously? are the titles of this look at the commandment to love your neighbor as yourself and asks, “How do we do that?”
-
Gettin Even
This is a plea for us to trust God, try forgiveness and leave vengeance to the Lord. I titled this message “Gettin Even”…Peace

Rocks & Faith
Rocks and Faith are two ways of referring to the same gift from God. Our faith is essential to opening the way to the kingdom of God. Peace
-
Kill the Dreamer - Kill the Dream?
The title is this message about dreams and hate is “Kill the Dreamer - Kill the Dream? It is taken from the Joseph Saga in Genesis. Peace

Insomnia
Jacob has a conversion experience and receives a name change. He wrestled all night with his past while facing an unsure future. He had lived an amoral life up to this point and it was time to accept the consequences of his selfish behavior. Peace
-
Snookered
“Snookered” is the title of this message from Genesis 29…...another phase in the development of Jacob as he negotiates with his Wiley uncle. Laban for a wife. Peace
-
The Divided Heart
Jacob, “the Cheat”, is running away from his older brother’s wrath, and has a life changing dream! This message is “The Divided Heart” Peace
-
Blind Obedience
This is a reflection on God’s testing of Abraham’s faith and faithfulness. God calls him by name and instructs him to sacrifice his son Isaac. No reason given, just the expectation of obedience. A troubling story but worth the trouble of considering. From Genesis 22. Peace
-
Father Knows Best
“Father Knows Best” is my reflection on Genesis 21 where God Sees and Hears Ishmael’s sobs and opens Hagar’s eyes to salvation when she had given up. Then I interpret Christ’s instructions to his Disciples not to fear because God is with them… His eye is on the sparrow! Peace
-
Wanted, Lifeguards!
Wanted, Lifeguards! We are called to go out and share God’s compassion. There are many ways of doing this, but fear of rejection and persecution keep us in our safe places. Jesus begins the good news and bids us to continue and trust that it will be blessed. Peace
-
Deleted
Deleted is the title of the message from Isaiah 6:1-8. It deals with the complete forgiveness of God and God’s ability to Blot out our sin and Forget it! - Peace
-
Tongue Tied
Tongue Tied is the title of this meditation on Pentecost and its message to us as Christians called to voice the TRUTH to the world around us. The truth we receive must counter the lies seeking to control us and withhold justice from so many of God’s children. Peace
-
Relinquished
The Ascension forces us to accept our responsibility to actively witness to Christ’s life. He is gone and we are left to continue his ministry! - Peace

-
One is All
Remembering the martyrdom of Stephen may open us to the suffering of others and not lose our empathy in their sheer numbers. - Peace
-
Day By Day
Day by Day is how the first Christians lived in community pooling their resources and providing for any who had need. What can we learn from them and how can we apply it to our communities today? Peace
-
Holy Heartburn
A witness is someone who accepts a responsibility for what they have seen. Jesus told the disciples who had witnessed his ministry, death and resurrection that they were to be his witnesses. How are we to live as witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus we have recently celebrated? Peace
-
Closed Doors
I am discussing closed doors and how we might open them. John 20 holds the story of Jesus entering the locked room where the disciples were hiding after he was crucified and resurrected. I feel it gives us the way to overcome our fears and open the doors we have closed and locked to go out with...
-
A Moveable Feast
As Jesus rode a donkey into Eastern Jerusalem, Pilate rode a war horse accompanied be a Roman legion into Jerusalem from the West. Jesus, fulfilling Scripture, was also lampooning Rome, challenging the populace and us to decide who to follow: Raw Power or Vulnerable Peace.

Come To The Waters
Jesus reveals that God does not accept prejudice, and loves all people and desires us all to love one another as we are loved through The Woman at the Well story in John 4. Peace.

Ageless Aging
Abraham’s faith and the fears he faced and overcame to fulfill his life and God’s will to become a blessing to all people is the topic of my reflections; aimed at the aging church and the elderly.

-
Think Different
The following message is a reflection on Christ’s counter-cultural description on how humanity is to express its true self, living into the image of God in which we are created by living the beatitudes, thereby satisfying the longing of our souls and bringing peace to the world. Peace
-
Ah-Ha!
This is a reflection on answering the call of God to move from marking time (chronos) to living our lives as the children of God (kairos). It may take an Ah-Ha moment to realize that our lives can experience a deeper meaning as was the case with those fishermen who left their nets to follow…
