Is it possible God is knocking at your door? Is it possible to be too religious ? Is it possible to religious but never actually know God ? In our scripture for this morning God reached out to Samuel four times before Samuel finally understood and said "S

What are we to make of the story of the burning bush ? Did it really happen ? Does God still communicate that way? Would the God you say you know act that way today ? In this amazing story we find something that makes us uncomfortable - God does not reach

Sermon from Langdon Palmer

When we hear great news, ever notice how the whole world seems to change ? We look at everything, not just the news, in a different way. What if the most exciting news we could ever hear has been at hand all along, lying in the corner, covered with dust,

Why did Jesus have to die ? Why does the creed say "descened into hell ?" Is it OK for the church to use military metaphors when we talk about what Christ has accomplished ? Today we look into the amazing imagery of the book of Revelation to get a deeper

What is the church ? How we answer that question will impact many things including how we view ourselves and what we are doing. We look at three images and the amazing teaching of Hebrews 12 and discover the beauty of what the creed means when it says "I

This intense sermon explores the Trinity, the spiritual world, temptation, and how believing in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit both brings you much closer to all the other religions of the world and at the same time sets Christianity completely apart as som

What could a fantasy story like Harry Potter have to do with understanding the actual historical event of the first Easter ? There is a reason that we love the stories we do. Today's sermon reaches out to those who love Harry Potter but aren't so sure abo

Should we feel happy or sad on Palm Sunday ? Is it the story of how fickle, faithless and fallen human beings are - one minute raising palms in celebration of Jesus and the next minute raising fists crying Crucify Him? Actually it is about a whole lot mor

With this parable Jesus gives us a chance to look under the hood - to see what the basic stance of our heart is. It turns out that this basic stance affects how we see every other aspect of our lives. He gives us the chance to be out of excuses but in to

Did you ever have a day when you just weren't much of a fan of yourself and you could have used a little comfort and encouragement ? A day when you were depressed over how mediocre you are ? A day when you think you've done everything you are supposed to

What does this parable mean? Is Jesus saying that God intends for some people not to ever understand the gospel? Does Jesus talk in parables to the crowds but plainly to his disciples to intentionally keep people out ? What do the four soils mean ? What i

What should be the goal of my life ? What is the purpose of life ? Some say the pursuit of happiness or pleasure, others say the pursuit of nobility and character. It turns out that the answer is found between the prodigal son and the older son - it is fo

When Jesus says the Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed - what does he mean ? We look at three kinds of people - the person who plants, the person who watches, and the person who is too busy to notice - as a way of thinking about our own lives. But what

How do you want to live this year ? What do you want your life to be about ? No matter what the past has held, there is still time to choose a different way today, because this is the day the Lord has made. On this first Sunday of the New Year we begin ou

This sermon is for people who love the show "Big Bang Theory." Do you have to choose between science and faith ? We all have ideas about the way the world is supposed to work, but what do we do when our rules and laws and equations dont match the way the

Often the string of stories in the Old Testament like the string of events in our lives don't seem to make much sense. But today we look at the coming of John the Baptist as the messenger who prepares the way for the coming of the messiah. A messenger imp

In many Sci Fi stories there is some ancient relic that has been passed down from generation to generation - but nobody really knows what it's for any more. Then comes the moment when the hero realizes it's not some useless artifact from the past but the

Ever notice how self conscious you can feel in public? We all want to look good to others. Sometimes we waste a lot of energy worrying about what others think of us. But what happens when we start intentionally trying to draw attention to ourselves? More

Some parts of the bible make sex sound amazing and joyful, other parts give warnings and set boundaries. Why? And what is the Christian view of Divorce ? By way of Farming, Burkas, Cosmopolitan Magazine, and Monty Python we get to the beautifully balanced
