    Linscheid 05/02/10
    Posted by Lois Ann Handrich, 5/18/2010 3:23 AM.
    Sermon by John Linscheid Germantown Mennonite Church 5th Sunday of Easter, May 2, 2010 Scripture lessons:  John 13:31-35; Revelation 21: 1-6 Today, we will break bread together.  Bread is born in destruction—crushing wheat into flour.  It is whole briefly.  Then instantly broken, devoured, digested. Bread lives between moments of destruction. Today’s lesson from John’s Gospel, also lies between devastating realities.  Jesus has just shared bread with Judas, who...

    Related, Valued, Encouraged A Sermon on Genesis 1:1-5 and Mark 1:4-11 preached by John Linscheid at Germantown Mennonite Church Sunday, January 11, 2009 “In the beginning of God’s creating heaven and earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness shrouded the deep.  And a ruach wind/breath/spirit from God brooded over the face of the waters.” Rabbi Arthur Waskow depicts the creation of light as the moment God opened God’s eyes.  The poet, James Weldon Johnson makes light ...

    Linscheid 03/20/1994
    Posted by Lois Ann Handrich, 12/26/2008 7:37 PM.
    Sermon by John Linscheid Germantown Mennonite Church March 20, 1994 At the dedication of the new building at 21 West Washington Lane Scripture passages Jeremiah 31:31-34 John 12:20-33 Sermon "The days are surely coming--God is saying this-- when I shall make with the house of Israel and the house of Judah a new covenant . . . ."

    Linscheid 09/14 Food Fight
    Posted by Lois Ann Handrich, 12/24/2008 4:46 PM.
    John Linscheid “Food Fight” Sunday, September 14, 2008 Genesis 50:15-21 Psalm 103:(1-7), 8-13 Romans 14:1-12 I’m not sure the sermon title really fits.  Sometimes the Spirit takes you in directions you never expected to go.  But I will refer to food and to fights; so maybe it’s not all off base. If I drove through Frisco, Colorado, and encountered the A&W sign pictured on this morning’s bulletin, I’m not sure I would stop.  I love the Gospel of John.  My t...

    Linscheid 08/10 Creating Sacred Spaces and Places
    Posted by Lois Ann Handrich, 12/24/2008 4:43 PM.
    Creating Sacred Spaces and Places Ken M. White and John Linscheid Sunday, August 10, 2008 [John] [note about dragging Ken into preaching] Genesis speaks of God creating and shaping us from the dust of the earth and inspiriting us with God’s breath.  Just as they breathe with celestial desire, our spirits remember their terrestrial origin.  To reach for God, our souls need physical grounding—a place to exist that is both of the world and touching heaven. Some places natu...

    Linsheid 05/18 Running in Church
    Posted by Lois Ann Handrich, 12/24/2008 4:41 PM.
    “Running in Church” John Linscheid Germantown Mennonite Church May 18, 2008 Texts:  2 Samuel 6:3-9; Psalm 2:1-6, 10-12; 1 John 4:16b-19 This is the first in a series on “answering fear.”  Today’s topic:  “Answering the fear of God.” I honestly cannot remember ever being afraid of God. Yes, I grew up in the milieu Charlie mentioned a couple of weeks ago—that warped amalgam of Second Coming and nuclear holocaust. So I feared the Second Coming, but weirdly never conn...

    Linsheid 02/24 Lent 3
    Posted by Lois Ann Handrich, 12/24/2008 4:39 PM.
    John Linscheid Lent 3 “Springs of Living Water” I nearly preached from Paul today.  Romans 5 is so packed with grace:  “While we still were sinners, Christ died for us.” And that provocative little tag line that says in addition to Christ’s death we are also “saved by his life.” But after a rather dismissive comment about the Gospel of John from a certain seminarian, I had to go with the Woman at the Well. I have tended to consider the spiritual journey a human effort se...

    Linscheid 02/10 Lent 1
    Posted by Lois Ann Handrich, 12/23/2008 7:12 PM.
    John Linscheid Lent 1, Year A Germantown Mennonite Church February 10, 2008 “Naked Faith” After a week of watching so many good people live out God’s kingdom in the most difficult and complex situations, I am not certain what I can add this morning. “Living out God’s kingdom.”  A lofty Lenten theme indeed.  Living  more like Jesus would.  Learning to be more like God.  That’s what got the man and woman in trouble in the first place, you know—wanting to be lik...

    Friesen, C 11/09/08 Stages-Young Mennonite Male
    Posted by Lois Ann Handrich, 12/23/2008 6:49 PM.
    Christopher Friesen November 9, 2008     So, what is the spiritual life of a young single male Mennonite like?  Or what could it tell us about an aspect of myself we may all see in our lives?  What might my spiritual experiences teach us about the possible spiritual experiences we might encounter in the life of the church?       Characteristically, I believe youth symbolizes hope, the ability to look toward the future in our spiritual de...
