Jeremiah 31: 31-34; Hebrews 5: 5-10; Mark 15:6-15
March 18, 2018


Many of you listen to at least some Public Radio. On Saturdays at 11:00 they have a game show I particularly enjoy. It is called, “Wait, wait, don't tell me”. It has a three person panel and they do various quizzes about current news events. The toughest one they do is where each panelist reads a news story about something strange in the news. One is true, the other two are made up. It doesn't sound too difficult; but we listeners discover that truth is often much stranger than fiction. I seldom correctly pick the one that is true. I'm going to ask us to play a similar game this morning. ​

Just As I Am:  Billy and Demas

Exodus 20: 1-17; 1 Corinthians 1: 18-25; John 2: 13-22

Perhaps you look at the sermon title for today and wonder who these two people are. Most of you probably made the connection for who Billy is...Just As I Am was the signature song at his crusades. It is also the title of his autobiography. The Christian nation has mourned his passing this past week as he laid in state at his home and at the capital building, funeral on Friday. Of course I'm talking about Billy Graham. I am curious, how many of you have been to a Billy Graham crusade? I went to the one at the old Met Stadium in 1973. A confession though; I was invited by my girlfriend and my mind was much more occupied with her than with the message. Teenagers, right?
Don Mackay gave me an article last Sunday, Billy Graham Bore Witness for 99 Years. “The world listened to Graham...because he wasn't selling something. He was bearing witness.” It included an astounding statement about Billy Graham; but as we consider it, don't you think it might be true? “ He was perhaps the most significant evangelist since the Apostle Paul.”
Now as to the next name, legend gives Demas as the name of one of the thieves that died on the cross alongside Jesus, the one who received the promise of life from Jesus. ​
