Reading: Judges 4:1-7, 5:28-31
This was the last Sunday I'll be preaching before Advent -- Carey and I will be on vacation next week -- and since Advent is supposed to be about waiting for the Messiah, this sermon got us ready by reminding us of our need for a Messiah. The lectionary gave us a text from the book of Judges, and if Judges teaches us anything, it's how screwed up things can get apart from God.

Time to Count
Reading: Psalm 78:1-7; Joshua 24:1-3a, 14-25
We're standing on the brink of either a bold new era or a soul-sucking abyss, depending on your views regarding the recent presidential election and the current economic crisis. Add on top of that that we at Pocono Lake Wesleyan recently completed a week of concentrated prayer in which God met with us powerfully, and it's clearly been a breathless couple of weeks for many of us. How do we respond to these times of change? A passage from the story of Joshua gives us some ideas.
