U-turns Permitted

Norman Viss/Trinity Church

U-turns are permitted in life. We grow, change, fail and succeed. We believe that God is there, that He loves us and will bring us safely through whatever life throws our way. That"s why we can make u-turns when necessary with confidence and not fear. This podcast is sponsored by Trinity Christian Reformed Church in Broomall, Pa.

The Gospel at the Gate

U-turns Permitted ·

2025/11/29

The well-known parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, from Luke 16:19-31, does not teach us about what heaven and hell will be like. It shows that there is hope for both rich people and Lazaruses in Jesus' Good News.

Kyrie Eleison

U-turns Permitted ·

2025/10/30

"Lord have mercy...." prayed the sinner in the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. A parable of personal forgiveness and kingdom reversal. And a challenge to take these words on our lips every day. Luke 18:9-14.

Radical Inclusion

U-turns Permitted ·

2025/09/04

Jesus taught that we should include those whom we would normally not include. Yet history shows that we (Christians) pretty much ignore Jesus' teaching. The passage is Luke 14:1;7-14.

Unbent and Unbound

U-turns Permitted ·

2025/08/25

Much of our Christian teaching and experience focuses on how to keep the law to get/stay in God's good graces. There's much more to be said and experienced than that. The woman in Luke 13:10-17 was bent and bound. Jesus unbent and unbound her. That's good news!

Do Not Be Afraid - Be Ready to Serve

U-turns Permitted ·

2025/08/12

Sharing in God's Life

U-turns Permitted ·

2025/08/04

Today we conclude our series on "What is the Gospel?". After a brief review, we ask ourselves what it might look like to live the kind of life that we might call "God's life".

Jesus Walks With Us Through Suffering

U-turns Permitted ·

2025/07/23

We live in a culture that wants to "get over" or "fix" suffering asap. We have lost the ability to experience Jesus' presence in suffering. It is part of the good news of the Gospel that we are never alone, especially not in our deepest suffering.

Jesus Has Come to Set Up God's Kingdom

U-turns Permitted ·

2025/07/21

The church has acknowledged Jesus as King throughout the centuries, but has often used the tools of Empire to build His Kingdom. How did Jesus set up God's Kingdom and what does that teach us?

Jesus Rescues All of Creation

U-turns Permitted ·

2025/07/01

Our series on "What is the Gospel?" continues with thinking about how Jesus rescues all of creation, on every level, from the intensely personal to cosmos-wide.

Jesus Shows Us God's Love

U-turns Permitted ·

2025/06/02

Part 2 of the "What is the Gospel?" series. Jesus has come to earth to show us God's love. What is God's love? And what about God's wrath? And what do you do if things are pretty bad and God's love seems far away?

What is the Gospel? Part 1

U-turns Permitted ·

2025/05/28

This is the first in a series of 6 sermons that attempt to unpack what the "Good News" (Gospel) of Jesus Christ is. Many of us aren't clear or have a too narrow version of the Good News. There is much comfort, hope, and meaning when we come to understand the richness of what God has done for us and all of creation through Jesus Christ - especially in the times in which we live.

Today the Kingdom is Here

U-turns Permitted ·

2023/11/07

This is the last service in the life of Trinity CRC in Broomall. We now conclude our ministry. But that doesn't mean the Kingdom has not been present, or that it will not be present going forward. Isaiah 61 and Luke 4 serve as our source of encouragement.

In Him Are All Things

U-turns Permitted ·

2023/10/29

Romans 11:36 reads: "For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen." This verse sums up the story of the Bible that goes all the way back to Genesis, and it gives us enormous hope and purpose for the future.

Contentment

U-turns Permitted ·

2023/10/29

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" is a well-known text from Philippians 4:13. Paul connects this to the concept of "contentment" in 4:11. Contentment means to "stand strong" and self-sufficient in Christ so that the waves of life don't overcome us.

The Sower Sowed

U-turns Permitted ·

2023/10/19

Today we read the famous "Parable of the Sower" from Matthew 13. R.F. Capon calls this a "watershed moment" in Jesus' teaching, and that it is. It is much more than "how to listen to a sermon". Your whole perspective on the world might change!

Great Is Your Faithfulness

U-turns Permitted ·

2023/10/12

Today we read the famous "Great is Your Faithfulness" passage from Lamentations 3. We place these verses of hope squarely where they are - surrounded by despair. We don't ignore the despair, nor do we allow the despair to quench the light of hope. We hold both together.

Be Strong and Courageous

U-turns Permitted ·

2023/10/02

As the ragtag people of Israel stand ready to enter Canaan, the Promised Land, God encourages them to be strong and courageous, and not to fear, because He will be with them always. Jesus promises the same to his ragtag group of disciples as He prepares to leave them after His resurrection. And the same promise is for us today.

When God Began to Create the Heavens and the Earth

U-turns Permitted ·

2023/10/01

Today we read Genesis chapter 1, the beginning of the Gospel, the good news, that God is creating out of welter and waste, and He invites us to join Him in that creative process.

When I am Weak then I am Strong

U-turns Permitted ·

2023/09/24

We conclude this short series on 2 Corinthians with the famous statement from Paul in 12:10 that when he is weak, he is strong. And we note that Paul is fully in touch with himself here. He recognizes his weaknesses and he recognizes his strengths. And all because Jesus' power is made evident in him.

Paul’s Worldview in Times of Crisis

U-turns Permitted ·

2023/09/12

Today we read 2 Corinthians 5:13-20. Paul shows us the perspective he brings to bear on his troubles. It is a perspective that gives hope and sends us out with a purpose.
