Our fundamental goal is ”knowing God.” The essential assumption is that the Bible is God’s message to humanity so that God will be known and loved by God’s Creation. The Bible is sufficient in and of itself, so that thoughtful study of it will lead to ever-increasing intimacy with God.
Each week we’ll endeavor to engage Scripture and tradition and to bring them into our present reality. Since I am a working pastor I will use the same sources for this podcast that inform my weekly preaching and teaching duties. These days I am drawing upon the Revised Common Lectionary. This examination of the Word will be based on all but one of the scheduled readings from the RCL, since a podcast of my weekly sermon message covering one of the readings is already posted each week.

Keep Your Lamp Filled: The Parable, Prayer, and Presence
Pastor Dan explores Matthew 25's parable of the ten virgins to show that the real issue is not lamps but the oil of daily prayer. Drawing on his renewal leave, the stories of Daniel and the wedding at Cana, he encourages listeners to practice regular, focused prayer—uncluttered and rhythmic—to recognize Jesus' voice and be ready for his coming.
Through personal reflection and biblical examples, the sermon invites believers to relax, spend intentional time with God, and cultivate a consistent prayer life that fuels spiritual readiness and authentic witness.
