This sermon explores a story of remarkable change buried deep in the Old Testament. The story tells how a group of people determined to exact revenge underwent a complete change of heart and ended up tending to the needs to their former enemies. What caused such a remarkable transformation? And how can we learn to create that kind of change in our families, workplaces, and communities?

Have you had your 15 minutes of fame? Probably not — most of us never will. We live; we die, and this great big world barely even notices.

This sermon looks at someone in the Bible who lived like us — obscure, anything but famous. Yet, in God’s eyes, he lived very well. From his example, we’ll gain insight about “the meaning of it all.”

We have good intentions about a consistent prayer life. Then life happens. Time gets squeezed. We think we have things under control on our own. But do we really?

“Once upon a time…” is more than just a great opening line, it’s an invitation to learn who we are and who we want to be. Jesus himself was a master storyteller; his stories form the nucleus of our faith.

In honor of that sacred tradition, we’ll use stories to light our way as we seek a deeper understanding of our role in the human family.

Do you ever find yourself falling into the trap of not living to your full potential, and allowing the time to just slip away? It’s easy to say, “I’ll be happy if or when . . . ,” as if there is always something in life that is missing.

How can we get better at living in the moment?

Many people are religious; few are spiritual. Which are you?

Funny how we always get excited about the beginning and ending of something, but rarely think about what happens in between. We celebrate birth, and solemnly mark death. We celebrate the first day of school and mark our last with a graduation ceremony.

Yet everything that matters, all the “stuff of life,” happens in between — in the middle.

It sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? Who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by people who love, encourage, and advise us, but don’t judge, manipulate, or try to control. Yet we ourselves often struggle to offer that gift to those around us.

Some churches are obsessed with evil; it’s all they talk about. Others seem to avoid it altogether, as if evil doesn’t exist. Why can’t we have a conversation that avoids both extremes?

So we’ll take a shot at that. Our goal will be to understand better how evil works in our world, in our families, and inside each of us.

We all have blind spots. The problem is . . . when we have a blind spot we usually don’t know it.

So we move through life, making decisions, sometimes very bad decisions, and can’t figure out why things keep going so badly. We’ll study an ancient Bible story that teaches us how to best compensate for the blind spots in our lives.
