I preached in a Sunday morning service in Pakistan... at about 2:30 a.m. in New York City over the internet. 

Here's my report:

The recording of this morning's service at Westchester Chapel was corrupted. We believe it was the cable, which has been replaced, but Pastor Jim Warren, who preached the sermon gave me permission to summarize it, and that is what you will hear below. Pastor Jim preached on Matthew 1, Mark 8:27-30 and 1 John 1:5-2:2. Here is a list of the 354 prophecies fulfilled by Jesus Christ.

Pastor Linda Warren mentioned the song "What God Wants for Christmas," and she said she believes what God wants for Christmas from Westchester Chapel is for us to celebrate Christmas with The Kensington Assisted Living Facility in White Plains. Sia and Stephen T. will lead us and the residents in Christmas carols, and Rich Swingle will dramatize the Scriptures of the Christmas story. Hope you can join us Christmas Eve at 6pm. Paid parking is available at the Municipal lot behind the Kensington. We should be back to our cars by 8pm.

Here's this summer's faculty devotion at MasterWorks, followed by links to things I mentioned.

It's divided into a sections, which should play one after the next. On some browsers you may need to hit the forward button to get the next one started. I'm posting it this way so you can see the videos I showed in a better quality and to honor their copyrights. I tried to cut the Peter Hitchins interview at 7:42, but that doesn't seem to work on any of my browsers. The rest of it's great stuff, too, but when my talk resumes it's linked to what he said about the arts opening people to the reality of God.

After Joyce preached on Zechariah, I preached on Elizabeth. You'll have to hear our sermons to see why she got the guy and I got the gal...

Rich Swingle led a special service, which included a review of our Living the Life: Choices sermon series. What you'll hear was preceded by small groups reviewing and reporting on their favorite passages from "The Sermon on the Mount", the text we've been covering in the series so far: Matthew 5:3-7:12.

Here's the full quote by Randall Flinn, artistic director of Ad Deum Dance Company:

I learned today that in order to live a transformational life that I first must learn to live a sacramental life. So what is sacramental living? It is living in the remembrance and to the honor of a greater Sacrifice, broken, shed and given for me. It is for me to receive from that Living Communion and also to give from its same mystery. This majestic Grace which incarnates itself, even in a vessel of flesh, bids me to sup, to be filled, and to pour out. What sweet communion indeed! (On his Facebook Timeline)
