March 12, 2016. March 12, 2016. During the season of Lent, I’m preaching a sermon series entitled The Journey. Along with the weekly sermon, I’ll be blogging on my church’s website. So I’ve decided to put those posts on this my personal blog as well. Here’s the fourth week…. 8220;Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers? One of my all-time favorite movies is. This entry was posted in The Journey. March 1, 2016. For God so loved the world that he gave.

Where Are You? « traceyleslie
https://traceyleslie.com/2014/09/13/where-are-you
September 13, 2014. Tomorrow I’ll begin my fall sermon series based on the Trevor Hudson book “Questions God Asks Us.” The first question in the book is the first to appear in scripture. It is God’s question to Adam: “Where Are You? As I got older, I began to think about the story as an explanation for sin and decided the sin was that of disobedience. It wasn’t really about a piece of fruit; it was about them being disobedient toward God. This entry was posted in Questions God Asks Us. You are commenting...

Tell Me a Secret. August 6, 2016. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. January 16, 2016. Right now in the church, we’re in the season of Epiphany. Epiphany was actually observed by the early Christians before they celebrated the holiday of Christmas. (That is, Epiphany which comes after Christmas actually came before Christmas Are you confused yet? N) Everyone loves a good party, right? So what better time to set as the date of Jesus’ birth the Unconquered S o. A couple weeks ago at my church, we had ...

Mars Hill and Calvary Hill. November 4, 2014. Just recently we’ve read of the collapse of the Mars Hill network of congregations out west. I never really paid that much attention to Mars Hill or Mark Driscoll although I did once purchase a book on small groups that was written by a Mars Hill staff member. But back to what puzzles me Why didn’t anyone object years ago? In my case as a Christian, the standards of scripture and my theological tradition. This entry was posted in Uncategorized.

What Is That in Your Hand? September 29, 2014. At Trinity UMC, this is our third week looking at Questions God Asks Us from the Trevor Hudson book of that same name. As we examine the call of Moses, it challenges all of us to consider how God uses our abilities, our experiences and our resources to accomplish his saving work in the world. Does some heavenly phone ring and you pick it up and the voice says, ‘Tracey, this is God; go to seminary.’ What happens if you intercept someone else’s call? Built to ...

In Honor of My Dog. July 20, 2014. July 20, 2014. I often joke that I wish I was more like my dogs. Although lacking in theological sophistication, they (sincere confession here) are sometimes more “Christ-like” in their behavior than their human master… (that would be me). And Eirene’s ability to remain gentle and calm under any and all circumstances (OK, squirrels were an exception) was astonishing. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. Deserted Place, Open Space.

January 11, 2015. January 11, 2015. Who tells you who you are? A possibility I’d never considered before. Now, I’m not deluding myself. At my height, I would have never been Olympic track material. But, I imagine I could have done fine on my high school track team. Fortunately, I don’t think my absence from youthful sporting events was significant enough to have changed my life. So, who tells you who you are? How have you allowed others to define you? We do it to ourselves and we do it to others. In the ...

As we examine the call of Moses, it challenges all of us to consider how God uses our abilities, our experiences and our resources to accomplish his saving work in the world.
