Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 If you know anything about Ecclesiastes, it’s probably chapter three, verses 1-8. These are by far the best known words from this book, and probably with good reason. There’s a wonderful rhythm to these contrasting experiences of life; some we choose, and some that are simply thrust upon us. There is that part… Read More »

Ecclesiastes 1:12-2:26 What will give us lasting satisfaction in life? What will make life worth living? People have been trying to answer that question from the beginning of civilization. And frankly, I don’t think a whole lot has changed in the answers. They all seem to be variations of about the same half a dozen… Read More »

Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 We are going to do something different for a while, a sermon series on the Book of Ecclesiastes. This is not a book that I gave much thought to before I went to seminary.

Ephesians 1:15-23 and Luke 24:44-53 Obviously, we are reading the conclusion of Luke’s Gospel here, and it might seem kind of abrupt. He wraps it up pretty quickly after the resurrection. Now, he knows about the forty days of post-resurrection appearances of Jesus. He mentions them at the beginning of Acts. But he doesn’t devote… Read More »

John 14:23-31 This text, like last week’s, is also part of Jesus’ farewell discourse, his “last testament,” which runs from chapters 13-17 in the Gospel of John. Jesus is preparing the disciples for life without his physical presence among them. How can they still love him and have relationship with him if he is not… Read More »

John 13:31-35 Many scholars view this passage as Jesus’ “testament.” A testament was the important words that a parent or teacher delivered to children or disciples just before death. And it is certainly one of the clearest commands of Jesus in the Gospel of John. John doesn’t spend much time on the ethical teachings of… Read More »
