Who's In

Starting a new church, as the remaining eleven Apostles are doing in our passage from Acts today is no small thing to undertake. One of the most vexing questions, and the one bedeviling the congregants at St. Starbuck's the Jittery this week is "Who's In?" Join us at Community Presbyterian Church of Bellefonte, Ky for our sermon, "Who's In?"

Who's On First?

The offices of vigils and lauds each morning at St. Starbuck's the Jittery have produced an interesting discussion: how do we imagine our relationship with God? Many people think of it as "God-active". In this model, God changes from loving father to uncompromising judge depending on our behavior. Others see the relationship as "people-active". We react to God's free gift of love, and God never changes. The French say that in every relationship, one is kissed, and the other kisses. Join us for today's sermon, Who's On First?

Luke's World

To understand our relationship with God, we have to put it into a framework which we can relate to. The problem comes when we confuse the framework we constructed with God Himself and exclude people from God's Kingdom because they don't agree with us. Such a one was the Ethiopian Eunuch who came all the way to Jerusalem to worship, only to be turned away. I don't know who picked a story about a eunuch for Mother's Day, but we plays 'em where they lays.

Cleaning out the Barn

Somehow, the radical, passionate teaching of Jesus of Nazareth has been transformed to the 21st Century religion of complacency. Somehow, the thought that Jesus "did it all" has come to mean that we need do nothing at all. Somehow, Jesus' command, "If any would become my followers, let them deny themselves, take up their cross and follow me." has become code language for passively bearing the aches and pains of age. If all that is so, who is left to do the work of the kingdom? Come see, and join us for Cleaning out the Barn
