Scripture Reading: 1 Chronicles 29:10-20 Near the end of his reign, King David desired to build a temple for the Lord.  For 400 years, since the exodus from Egypt, the central place of worship in Israel had been the tabernacle.  The tabernacle was a tent which the Jews carried through the wilderness.  Now David wanted to build a permanent structure as the main place of worship for Israel. His desire was denied by God.  David could make the plans, but could not be the builder of the temple because his reign had been characterized by the bloodshed of war (1 Chr 28:2-6).  David's son, Solomon, whose name means ‘peace', would be the builder.  Though David was not allowed to build the temple, before he died he laid elaborate plans, including the personnel to oversee and care for the temple and its activities.  There were 38,000 Levites to oversee the operation of the temple, caring for everything from singing to counting money to baking bread for the Table of Showbread in the Holy Place (cf. 1 Chr 23-27).  When David had finished preparations, he addressed the people and Solomon (1 Chr 28) and prayed a stirring prayer in 1 Chronicles 29.  In David's prayer, we see a reflection of the purpose for the temple.  First, it was to be a reminder to the people of the person of God and so David lauds the character of God in his prayer . . . God's greatness, power, glory, victory, and majesty (1 Chr 29:10-13).  Second, the temple was to be a reminder of the necessity of humility before the Lord and obedience to Him (1 Chr 29:14-19). Churches exist today, whether they have buildings or not, to reflect to our world the matchless glories of God and the pleasure of worshipping him in holiness and wonder and joy.

Fifth Sunday of EasterToday's Gospel is one of Jesus' last earthly life discourses. He installs a new commandment: "Love one another as I have loved you. Love is an act of the will, demonstrating both one's care for another's wellbeing, while also reinforcing one's connection to Jesus as his disciples. Just because life is difficult does not mean we are not living life correctly. As our first reading from Acts reminds us, "it is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the kingdom of God" (14:22). Jesus death on the cross is a vivid reminder, that he loves us to the very end.Scripture Readings for May 18, 2025  Acts 14:21-27Psalm 145:8-13Revelation 21:1-5John 13:31-33, 34-35  

Scripture Reading from Corinthians 7:17-24Sermon by Nicholas McDonald

Scripture Reading: 2 Samuel 18 When David gave way to his lust for Bathsheba and his pride to cover his act through murder, there were some things he had not considered, namely the long term consequences of sin.  Sinning against the living God is a more serious matter than we usually think it is and the dark effects of sin are both sure and destructive.  David's sin had terrible effects that he had not considered in the passions of his heart.  First, his sin had an effect on God's name.  “. . . by this deed you have given occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme . . .” (2 Sam 12:14).  Second, his sin had an effect on others: Bathsheba, Uriah, Amnon, Tamar, Absalom.  God told David of these results when He said, “Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife” (2 Sam 12:10). Third, David's sin had a long term, destructive effect on himself.  In 2 Samuel 18 we see David in utter anguish and sorrow over the death of his son Absalom, 12 years after his sin with Bathsheba.  “O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!  . . . And the king covered his face and cried out with a loud voice, "O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!"  (2 Sam 18:33; 19:4). Let us take to heart the stern warnings in the Bible concerning sin's consequences.  “He who sows iniquity will reap vanity” (Prov 22:8).  “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap” (Gal 6:7).

Scripture Reading: 1 Cor 3:10-15

Fourth Sunday in EasterPope LIV's episcopal motto is "In Illo Uno Unum," which translates to "In the One, we are one". This motto, a Latin phrase taken from St. Augustine's teachings, emphasizes the unity of Christians in Christ. The fact that we are not one brings scandal. Nonetheless, the pope serves as shepherd over the entire flock. May God bless our new holy father in uniting the world.Scripture Readings for Sunday May 11th, 2025Acts 13:14, 43-52Psalm 100:1-3, 5Revelation 7:9, 14-17John 10:27-30

Third Sunday of EasterWe are reminded from Acts of the Apostles that we must obey God rather than men. The more a person does so, conforming oneself to Him, friendship will grow from sentimental to self-sacrificing love. It's profound how much God loves His creation. Have you taken the time recently to reflect on this great gift?  Scripture Reading for May 4, 2025Acts 5:27-32, 40-41Psalm 30:2, 4-6, 11-13Revelation 5:11-14John 21:1-19

Scripture Reading from Mark 10: 17-31 (0:00)Sermon by Charles Anderson (2:12)

The cross is the most recognizable symbol of the Christian faith. And virtually all types of Christians affirm that “Jesus died to save us.” But what exactly does that mean? In today's sermon we'll explore several flaws in one popular understanding of the cross, and then we'll find in Scripture a more faithful, more beautiful perspective on the meanings of Jesus' death. Join us as we continue our series, “Saved.” Scripture Reading: 1 Peter 2:21-25 Share: Know someone who needs this message right now? Send them the link!

Scripture Reading: 2 Samuel 12:26-31 With the daily reports of warfare in almost every corner of the world, we may not expect or desire to come to the Bible and read about wars.  But the stories of Old Testament Israel are filled with accounts of the fierce fighting between the Israelites and their enemies.  This is especially true of the reign of King David, who was described as a “man of war” (1 Chron 28:3).  2 Samuel 12:26-31 describes the battles between Israel and the Ammonites.  It was the Ammonites that Israel was fighting when David committed his sin of adultery (2 Sam 11:1).  One question for us is this: what are we to learn for our own lives from Old Testament passages like this, recounting the wars of Israel? One truth revealed in this passage is the faithfulness of God to His promises.  He had promised, "By the hand of My servant David I will save My people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies" (2 Sam 3:18).  God's promises and warnings are all true and utterly reliable.  God's faithfulness to His word is illustrated in this passage. Second, God's holiness and justice are revealed in this passage.  The Ammonites were a detestable, idolatrous people.  Their main god was Molech (or Moloch or Milcom) and people offered their children as sacrifices to this god (Lev 18:21; 20:1-5; 2 Kgs 23:10).  So when the Israelites defeated the Ammonites in war, this was God's judgment on the wickedness of these idolaters.  God used war as an instrument of His justice.  These Old Testament stories have relevance to us in that they reveal attributes of the living God who never changes.  This is the same God who reigns over his world today.  Let us come to know Him and rejoice.
