February 6, 2008 Ash Wednesday	"Remember, oh man, that thou art dust and to dust thou shalt return" In a few minutes we will hear those ancient words of penance in a very personal way as a priest puts a smudge of dust made in the sign of a cross on each of our foreheads...
February 10, 2008 1st Sunday in Lent	The lessons on this first Sunday in Lent have an underlying theme – that is, there is something basically wrong with humanity. The lessons also have another underlying theme – that is, God has arranged a way to fix this brokenness...
February 17, 2008 2nd Sunday in Lent	Many times while watching a sports event on T.V., particularly an NFL football game, I have seen the same sign. It usually pops its head up in the end zone. I'll bet you've seen it too...
February 24, 2008 3rd Sunday in Lent	One of the dangers of being a Christian is burn-out. We know what we are supposed to do – we are to share to “good news” of Jesus Christ as Savior. We even know how we are supposed to do it...
March 2, 2008 4th Sunday in Lent	"Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" The question echoes down through the centuries and even now gets mixed up in Christian theology...
March 16, 2008 Palm Sunday	Our Epistle today is that great passage from Philippians which tells us of Christ’s “emptying of himself” and coming to earth in human likeness. In seminary, I have had to write more than one paper on this passage. It is very important in New Testament theology. “Christology” is the fancy name for the various theories of what Christ does for us when he comes to earth...
March 17, 2008 Monday in Holy Week	Today, Monday in Holy Week, we begin our walk to Calvary with Jesus. The Gospel today takes us back to events which took place the day before Palm Sunday, so we know that these events must be important...
March 18, 2008 Tuesday in Holy Week	Jesus’ action in turning over the tables of the money changers in the Temple seems strangely out of character. It will help us to understand his actions if we have in our minds a picture of the lay-out of the Temple precinct...
March 19, 2008 Wednesday in Holy Week	Thank you for being here today so that we can worship together. This is the faithful Wednesday group. We gather this day as we do every Wednesday morning at 10 AM to pray together, pray for others, participate in the formal “healing service” of our church and celebrate the Eucharist...
March 20, 2008 Maundy Thursday	"I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you should love one another." (John 13:34) The year was 1971. I was a freshman in college. President Nixon had told the American people that the “end was in sight” for the Vietnam War; however the war would continue for another four years...
March 21, 2008 Good Friday	As we experience the events of Holy Week through the eyes and ears of John, the Gospeler, we absorb mixed messages. We see a triumphant Jesus moving forward without hesitation to meet his tormenters in the Garden of Gethsemane. When the accusers ask for Jesus of Nazareth, our Lord answers with a resounding, “I am He.” His power is so palpable that those who have come out to arrest him fall to the ground in fright. Power emanates from him...
March 23, 2008 Easter Sunday	Allielulia! Christ is risen! The Lord is risen indeed! Today is the highlight of our Christian year. Out of the penitential season of Lent, out of the pain and humiliation and suffering of betrayal, crucifixion and death comes the sunlight of Easter.
