Poetic Sermons are fun to write but require much more time to compose. I hope you will enjoy some of the sermons posted.
"COME TASTE THE WINE" – John 2:1-11 At the wedding in Cana, all were invited, but only the obedient servants knew of the miracle, water becomes wine.
Telling all to get down on their kneeses.
And waited to hear what he'd say.
A sermon he decided to tell.
So think how your Father must care.
Do you not have some food each day?
God always provides a way.
Of the faithfulness God can wield.
So why strive for wealth? That is rude!
Into singing the words of a hymn!
Afraid our wealth will vanish or rot.
Dear friends, don't you think we're the same?
Dazzled by power, wealth and fame?
But wealth's not the name of the game.
And its loss can certainly grieve us.
For the kingdom of God we sigh.
And you will be blessed in God's sight.
Can worrying make you live longer?
Does money make you much stronger?
To worry just couldn't be wrong-er!
"We need to know you're there!
Make it loud, like a trumpet's blare.
We've put our God to the test.
Is "I" because I am the best!
Of course I should have it all!
And an "I" on my funeral pall.
Who are we kidding with talk about God?
Religion is one big scam!
A believer is not what I am.
To hear what the preacher might say.
I'd share my good luck with a few.
Economic indicators give some of us hope.
Stocks fall and some people can't cope.
God knows what goes on inside.
A sign of God's displeasure.
It truly knows no measure.
A testimony to our pollution.
Will we manage to find a solution?
A gift to earth from heaven!
The sign for which we wait.
To heal our broken dreams.

Who Shut in The Sea is a great poetic sermon.
Maybe you should consider publishing a collection of sermons as a book as well?
Jim, we love your website. I agree with Joel that perhaps you should consider publishing a collection of sermons as a book as well. Love the pictures of your home how beautiful to see for miles. Your scissor cuts are amazing. Wonderful testimony to our Lord.
