The Myth of Bootstrap Christianity – Galatians 4 – Rev. Todd Meyer

Rev. Todd Meyer2025-03-31T06:21:37-04:00

“Pull yourself up by your bootstraps”.  Its a bit of an outdated turn of phrase. Have you ever thought about it?  We sort of use it today as a positive characteristic. It means self-sufficient, self-made, despite

The Expulsive Power of a New Affection – Luke 11:24-26 – Rev. Todd Meyer

Rev. Todd Meyer2025-03-24T09:53:26-04:00

It seems today Jesus is giving a lesson in demon possession, but I would argue that’s not all he is doing.  Perhaps not even primarily what he is trying to teach in our Gospel today.

Spiritually or Physically blind? Luke 18:31-43 Rev. Todd Meyer

Rev. Todd Meyer2025-03-04T11:14:27-05:00

There are two distinct stories in our Gospel reading today, but I want to suggest to you they perhaps are not so distinct. I think the Gospel writer, Luke, was making a point by putting these

Countering Falses Apostles with humility and weakness. – 2 Cor 11: 19-31 -Rev. Todd Meyer

Rev. Todd Meyer2025-02-24T09:24:45-05:00

When it comes to how to live, love, and operate as a church, the Church in Corinth is not the model.  Not by a long shot. In 1 and 2 Corinthians we learn more from the

Epiphany 5 – Putting on the New Self – Col 3 – Rev. Todd Meyer

Rev. Todd Meyer2025-02-10T07:27:42-05:00

We are going to take a look, not only at the Epistle reading today, but we are going to back up and see the context in which our Epistle emerges.   In Col. 3 there are

Epiphany 4 – Healing of the Leper – Matt 8:1-2 – Rev. Todd Meyer

Rev. Todd Meyer2025-02-03T06:42:14-05:00

Today we are looking at the Gospel reading in Matthew, and specifically the first of the two miracles Jesus preforms.  The Healing of the Leper.  In this story there is a sentence full of richness and

Epiphany 2 – The Baptism of Jesus – Mark 1:1 – Rev. Todd Meyer

Rev. Todd Meyer2025-01-21T09:48:56-05:00

John is the last of the prophets before the messiah, speaking of the messiah to come. The only one who meets the messiah face to face.  He was a isolated and eccentric fellow, eating locust and

Epiphany 1 – The Young Jesus at the Temple – Luke 2:41 – Rev. Todd Meyer

Rev. Todd Meyer2025-01-13T07:34:09-05:00

Our gospel reading today gives us the only account we have of young Jesus. We just celebrated Christmas so we may still be holding images in our minds of baby Jesus in a manger. Soon enough

Epiphany: The Revelation of Christ to all people Eph 3:1 – Rev. Todd Meyer

Rev. Todd Meyer2025-01-06T07:33:39-05:00

Today we are celebrating the Epiphany, meaning “appearance, manifestation, coming into view”.  We use this expressing “I had an epiphany” (small e) in pop culture for just about anything... The Christian Celebration of Epiphany is much

God With Us – Matt 1:18 – Rev. Todd Meyer

Rev. Todd Meyer2024-12-30T05:35:38-05:00

It’s easy to think about it at the high points, but “God with us” goes further. “God with us” is even in the most traumatizing events in our life. Even then we can infer that “God

Christmas Eve – The Anticipation is Over – Heb. 1:1 – Rev. Todd Meyer

Rev. Todd Meyer2025-01-06T07:34:43-05:00

Christmas Eve represents an anticipation or a waiting that is almost over.  Tonight Kids you may have gifts that you have been waiting for and waiting to open tomorrow.  We all have had some anticipation or

Rev. Todd Meyer2024-12-16T12:56:42-05:00

What do you tell yourself when you ask yourself, “what is my identity as a Christian?”  Here is one of Paul’s answers when talking to the Church at Corinth: This is how one should regard us,
