How Many Husbands for Heavenly Bliss? 7.9 MB
Pastor Tim Schrag Sunday, September 5, 2010. The scripture text is Luke 20:27-40. We may not know the details of what awaits us in heaven. But we have strong indications that it will be much more than just an “upgrade” from our current life. The morning text is one of those “indicators.” How Many Husbands for Heavenly Bliss? How I Spent My Summer Vacation 9.3 MB
Pastor Tim Schrag Sunday, August 29, 2010. Pastor Tim did not preach from a single text. What DOES the Bible have to say about family? It can't be boiled down to a simple formula. How I Spent My Summer Vacation It's All About Me and Us 11.4 MB
Pastor Tim Schrag Sunday, August 22, 2010. The text is Romans 14:1-7; 12-18; 19-22. There can be a strong tension between being principled, and "going along to get along." This sermon explores a classic scripture which offers guidance on the topic. It's All About Me and Us A Healthy By-Product 5.3 MB
Pastor Tim Schrag Sunday, August 15, 2010. The texts are Luke 10:25-28 and Romans 8:19-28. Pastor Tim explores ways in which "health" is not necessarily best approached as a compartmentalized task, but rather as the natural outcome of other commendable endeavors of the Christian community. A Healthy By-Product Tending the Temple 10.6 MB
Pastor Tim Schrag Sunday, August 8, 2010. The text is 1 Corinthians 6:12-20. Our worship space at Mennonite Church of Normal is carefully and tastefully maintained. Is the "temple" of your body, also intended for the worship of God, as carefully tended? Tending the Temple A Thing of Curiosity 8.1 MB
Stephanie Hollenberg Sunday, August 1, 2010. The text is Exodus 3:1-15. Stephanie has served this congregation as a ministry inquiry student this summer. In this sermon, she shares some of her faith story. A Thing of Curiosity That Isn't Fair! 8.7 MB
Pastor Tim Schrag Sunday, July 25, 2010. The text is Amos 5:11-15, 24. Calling for justice is easy. Discerning the details of "fairness" when it comes to trade is not so easy. But we are still called to the hard work of discernment. That Isn't Fair! A Step Beyond 6.2 MB
Pastor Tim Schrag Sunday, July 18, 2010. The text is Luke 10:38-42. This story has been the source of debate and study over the centuries. On both a personal and a congregational level, are there "good" habits which might sometimes stand in the way of opportunities for spiritual growth? A Step Beyond Secure Dwelling Places: A Home for [Someone] 8.9 MB
Pastor Tim Schrag Sunday, July 11, 2010. The text is Isaiah 32. "God cares deeply about whether the societies we create are just and equitable." This quote, from MCC writer Rachelle Lyndaker Schlabach, frames this discussion of how followers of Jesus might think about homelessness and housing. Secure Dwelling Places: A Home for [Someone] Christian Patriotism 9.3 MB
Pastor Tim Schrag Sunday, July 4, 2010. The texts are Romans 13:1-5 and Revelation 13:1-9. On this Fourth of July Sunday, we are encouraged to express our gratitude for our country. On a note of caution however, Pastor Tim points out that pride can get out of hand, and countries can become "beastly."
