Sermons and teachings of Rev. Elizabeth Clothier
Jesus made the best wine for the wedding feast...like the love that Jesus provides to us - it is the best and there is an abundance
Lent 3 - They are us! God's plan for people does not include pain and anguish. God is with us through all things and hopes joy and love for our lives.
Lent 2 - Jesus tucks us all under wings of love. All means all...Pharisees, Gentiles and us!
Lent 1 - Who were the people Jesus met during his ministry? The devil, satan, temptation...often seem like they are the strongest when we are the most dedicated to God.
The Sermon on the Plain continues: Love one another even when it's difficult
While the season of Christmas ends with Epiphany, the love that God sent to us never ends.
Our lives are full of both blessings and woes, aren't they? Sometimes our blessings are our woes.
As fishers of people, we do need to be ready to teach, to obey, to be humble and to put Christ first...in every situation, when it's easy and when it is not.
Stewart Roberts joins us at The Church on Oakland Park on Transfiguration Sunday. Thank you Stew!
While we may indeed be a brood of vipers, we can find joy in the fact that we are a forgiven and freed brood of vipers
When you can't see hope for yourself...take a step back....look at the big picture – remember God promised hope to the Israelites – and God sent Jesus the living embodiment of hope – hope incarnate
Peace...it is worth waiting for...worth working toward....worth trusting God's promise
Celebrating a new start and a new name for Linden Lutheran Church - The Church on Oakland Park, an invitation to hear God's call to enter the mission field and to invite others to come and see the love of God at work. Thank you Bishop Suzanne Dillahunt for your visit to The Church on Oakland Park
Jesus promises that the imposter will be eliminated – that the big bad wolf will be sent out of the house and that the house will be filled with the love of family – that each of us will know all the lovely things that God hopes for us.
Challenge yourself to see people the way that God sees people
Death though the enemy; death though scary - is not the end because death has been conquered through the power of Jesus life, death and resurrection
We are called to change, remembering that the God of Jacob is our stronghold
Jesus wasn't the savior the world asked for. Jesus was and is the savior the world needed.
We know deep down that God's love breaks down the barriers we put between ourselves and God
Do we choose to turn away, or to turn towards God?
Jesus as Healer, through laughter and wet willies
