Yesterday's passages from the lectionary are Psalm 22:1-15 and Mark 10:17-31.

Yesterday in church, our passages of scripture were Proverbs 1:20-33 and James 3:1-12. I found these passages to be especially interesting in the midst of presidential elections - and consequently angry Facebook battles - heating up. I know it offered me a good hard look into how carefully I'm selecting my words. Full manuscript: http://www.thesqui…

I just realized how late I am in posting this week's sermon. You have my deepest apologies. We have had both a family celebration this week - the birth of my sweet baby nephew - and a terrible loss. My sweet Oma, my step-father's mom who has taken my sister and I in as her own grandchildren these past 15 years that Dad and Julian have been together…

This morning, we move on to chapter 9 of 1 Corinthians. We're focusing on a small section, but it's a piece that I think helps us get to the heart and the urgency of Paul's message. Join me as we listen for God's Word in 1 Corinthians 9:19-27. Full manuscript at: http://www.thesquirrelfactor.com/2015/07/1-corinthians-919-27-apostolicity-101.html…

This week is a somber week for Christians in the United States as we look for ways to love and support our brothers and sisters who were brutally attacked and killed by a white terrorist in Charleston, SC.

My dear friends, I apologize that it took me so long to get this past Sunday's sermon up online. Usually I do it Sunday afternoon and because of a medical emergency during the church service and a family obligation later in the afternoon, it totally blew past me until today. But better late than never, right? This is the second sermon in our series…

I was fully planning on singing a popular version of Psalm 51 tonight at our Lenten prayer service. I'd practiced it on the guitar and everything. But for some reason, even though it is a Psalm we're spending a great deal of time with at my church this Lent, it just didn't feel right. This morning, I was reading the daily lectionary and one of the …
