On the road to Emmaus...Luke 24:13-35

We had hoped - fragility
We did have hope, but...
De's have been De-feated.

Unknown Date - Nicodemus

I don't think it's a coincidence that I ended up here - at a place called Grace. I don't think too many places I could have ended up after Olivet...the mountain top experience...could have fit me as well as this place did....as it does...

Take that heart home with you and do something with it.

Seek Ye first - during lent - with Alleluia - hehehe...

How do you live in and live out your baptism?

Children's sermon - Graduation - you work really hard at something , and if you get most of it right, you get to go on

Lunch on the Word - May 6 2008

John 7:37-39

Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink - Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living water" - parallels between this and the verses were Jesus says, I am in the Father and the father is in me - we are able to lift others up with living water

Accepting something mentally -

Servant's entrance - out into the real world
Naming and claming the Holy Spirit - which come's first?

If We are the Body - Stained Glass Masquerade
