Does Baptism Matter?

Luke 3:15-16,21-22

The Rev. Dr. Michael Brown (other)

Where Is Jesus?

Luke 2:41-51

1st Sunday after Christmas - Year C

December 30, 2012

The Rev. Dr. Dwight Moody (CBF)

Every day in America 2,300 people are reported missing! You heard it right: 2,300 are reported missing every day.

Some are displaced by hurricanes and others are abducted by a distraught parent. An old man, his mind long gone, simply walks away, and teenagers, tired of abuse and chaos at home, they flee for what they suppose will be a fresh start. Some people fake their death, and others are taken with criminal intent. There is a military category: missing in action. Amelia Earhart may be the most famous missing person in American history.

Jesus Exalted His Work

The Rev. John Gunn (other)

In referencde to Jesus as a carpenter, The Rev. John R. Gunn writes, "We can be sure that His work was well done. That He never mad a shoddy table or plow. That He never made a yoke that would gall the neck of an ox. If all workmen would follow His example in this respect, it would elevate and dignify their trades. The man who turns out an honest piece of carpentry is as honorable as the man who makes a poem or a sermon."

Helen Keller

The Rev. John Gunn (other)

The Rev. John R. Gunn asks, "Have you not often felt some mysterious impulse lifting you up toward the good and noble?" Helen Keller's religious instruction came from the great preacher Philip Brooks. He told her about God and what God had done for us in Jesus Christ. She listened awhile and then said, "Mr. Brooks, I knew all that before, only I did not know God's name."
