Miracles Everywhere Sermon Series

The Gospels tell of Jesus’ miracle ministry using two Greek words dunamis and simaios. In the synoptic Gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke, the Greek word dunamis is used which means power – God’s power to transform life. The Gospel of John primarily uses the word simaios, which means sign – a miracle that points to God’s activity in the world. Where is God still at work? How are we called to be courageous participants? As we open our eyes and fill our prayers with expectation, we’ll find miracles everywhere.

Romans 8:38-39

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

As the former Chairman of the Board of the Venice United Methodist Church I am appauled and disappointed in the UMC Worldwide Conference"s decision to ban gay clergy and same s*x marriage. Jesus would NEVER have supported this kind of homophobic, exclusionary nonsense. I appeal to all Methodists to stand against this ruling and to express their unity with gay people everywhere. This is not a question of what the scriptures dictate, but rather a condemnation of people who have already been engendered with full and equal rights by the Supreme Court, and the State of California. Fight the power! Let your voices be heard loud and clear on this issue.

Psalm 1:1-3

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.
