Campion ChurchI Will Cling: Until He Comes by Micheal GoetzCampion Church—You are our family. There are no words that have been introduced into the human tongue that communicate the impact on our lives of your life. Together, we have cried and laughed, ran and hiked, worshiped and petitioned, mourned and celebrated, pro- claimed and served. Our congregation and our community will never be the same because we did life together with Jesus.
As a preacher, it has been my humble privilege to stand in the sacred desk each Sabbath, and the sacred desk of the weekday in the office. My prayer has always been to be...
2023-05-2050 minCampion ChurchI Will Cling: The King by Micheal GoetzGot something to say to yourself? The FutureMe app lets you write, schedule and send letters to yourself, friends or family. But here is the catch: You can schedule delivery to be six months or even 10 years in the future (thus the FutureMe title). What would you say to your 10- year future self? What about a letter for your eternity? Could it be that the cross was the future letter of Jesus to Himself? He could have called ten thousand angels to destroy the world and set Him free... but He died alone for you and me (Ray Ov...
2023-05-1352 minCampion ChurchThe Altar of Intimacy: Cogent by Micheal GoetzHaving just gotten off my own long-haul flights this past week, I was particularly impacted by the news story of Emirates flight EK448 that left Dubai, United Arab Emirates at 10:30am on Friday, January 27, headed for Auckland, New Zealand. Thirteen (13) long hours of flying later, flight EK448 landed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. You caught that, didn’t you?! After 13 hours of sitting in the over-stuffed chairs of an airplane, those passengers landed, not at their destination, but back at their departure. Auckland and its airport had been impacted by flooding in January and had to close. That forced the...

That would be an honor. But it would also be expensive. Most of you would have to pay $35,000 for your dinner, but no interaction with the president. If you wanted to take the opportunity to shake his hand while there, just round up your cost to $50,000. Certainly an important man, but still just a man. Today, you and I are welcomed into the presence of the potentate of the universe – omnipotent and illimitable. He didn’t charge us for this time, in fact...
2023-03-1149 minCampion ChurchThe Altar of Intimacy: All In by Micheal GoetzIt was the summer of 2014 and everybody was getting soaked with ice water. The Ice Bucket Challenge encouraged nominated participants to be filmed having a bucket of ice water poured on their heads and then passing the nomination on to others. The expectation was that nominated participants had 24 hours to comply or forfeit by way of charitable financial donation. The intention was to raise awareness of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as motor neuron disease or Lou Gehrig’s disease). The international and viral challenge raised over $220 million and incalculable awareness. Our taking up the challenge to meet Go...
2023-03-0454 minCampion ChurchThe Altar of Intimacy: Everything by Micheal GoetzEveryone has had a line stuck in their head. Like the repeating line (hum with me), “Jingle Bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh, what fun...” This week, a line from a recently gifted book has been just that to me. I just can’t shake it. Over and over, it’s tossed in my mind. Speaking of counterfeit gods and the attention that we give/they demand, Timothy Keller writes, “In ancient times, the deities were bloodthirsty and hard to appease. They still are.” (from Counterfeit Gods: The Empty Promises of Money, Sex and Power, and the Only Hope th...
2023-02-2555 minCampion ChurchThe Altar of Intimacy: Sacrifice by Micheal GoetzWilliam Booth, the great Methodist preacher who, along with his wife, Catherine, founded the Salvation Army, is credited with the line, “The greatness of man’s power is the measure of his surrender.” Take the story of another spiritual leader, Abraham, who was called to, unarguably, the most difficult altar. One to surrender his promised son. An impossibly difficult moment. However, it was the greatest act of surrender that brought the greatest glory to God. This week, let’s learn from that moment.
2023-02-1852 minCampion ChurchThe Altar of Intimacy: First by Micheal GoetzI just can’t get Dwaine Edmonds words out of my mind: “Digital addictions have left many of us anxious, irritable, lonely, stressed, depressed, sleepless and unhappy with life. Ironically, personal and family worship practices calm our minds, decrease loneliness, reduce stress, increase peace, fulfill our emotional needs and teach us contentment.” (Ministry Magazine, Back to the Altar, December 2022). He sites research reported by McLean Hospital (titled The Social Dilemma: Social Media and Your Mental Health) early last year. This personal and family time with Jesus is a matter of vida y muerte. This week, in our sermon series, we tur...

The need, he says, is the broken worship altar ... [it] Represents the single greatest threat to [Christian] life and purpose... People who lack a consistent devotional walk with God cannot know Him, love Him, or effectively share Him with others. And the needed response, Esmond’s appeal, is that the restoration of personal and family worship among [Christians] is the most pressing need of our time... This February we wi...
2023-02-0451 minCampion ChurchChristmas to Calvary: In Our Hearts by Micheal GoetzThere is such a thing as a 5 Gift Rule. It’s possible some have lived their whole life (including this preacher) not knowing the rule. Guess I have been a cheapskate. Apparently, gone are the days of just one gift. In the 5 Gift Rule, the first four gifts are the same: Something they want, something they need, something to wear and something to read. But the 5th? The 5th is the real winner. It's something they need or want but don't really know it. It’s that 5th one, the one we need and want but don’t know it. Co...
2022-12-2445 minCampion ChurchChristmas to Calvary: In Our Community by Micheal GoetzHenry Wadsworth Longfellow, the American poet who died in 1882, experienced great tragedy in 1835, with the unexpected death of his wife, Mary. This loss came after the miscarriage of their baby. Then, in 1861, Longfellow was struck with grief when he lost his second wife, Fanny. Her death came after an accident, where she was burned. Unutterable heartbreak twice over. Eighteen years later, the poet wrote "The Cross of Snow," reflecting on the pain he still carried from the loss of Fanny. The Christmas story, with all the plans and presents, is still the story of the broken heart of God...

This week as we celebrate the Thanksgiving supper in a study on the final lines of Revelation, we will realize that the last supper and the celebration marriage supper are all together one and the same. Following the service, there is a Thanksgiving fellowship lunch, where all are invited. You are welcome at both... Especially the one in heaven. Welcome to the Unveiling.

Serious. But serious doesn’t have to be scary. After all, we must remind ourselves that there was a blessing guaranteed to those who read and who hear the words of this unveiling of Jesus. So, with that blessed assurance ringing in our ears, let’s keep going and find out the serious (but not scary) prophe...
2022-11-0550 minCampion ChurchThe Women and the Dragon by Micheal GoetzToday, October 29, was a difficult day in history. In 1929, 16 million shares in the U.S. stock market were sold, fueling the crisis known as the Great Depression. This day in the year of 1929 became known as “Black Tuesday”. In a world of expensive cereal and butter (groceries and gas), it can be scary. It seems like this is the kind of world that Katharina Amalia Dorothea von Schlegel lived in when she was inspired to write the words that turn hymn, “Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side... your God will undertake to guide the future as He...

Michael Bennet and GOP challenger Joe O’Dea; incumbent Gov. Jared Polis vs. Republican Heidi Ganahl; and the U.S. House District 3 race that pits incumbent Rep.

The battle of Armageddon is even closer, and of course, of exponential greater consequence, than the st...

They were reported missing, and the search began. They were rescued on Sunday afternoon by the US Coast Guard, all three alive, but fending off the circling sharks. Their boat had sunk around 10 am on Saturday and they had spent over 24 hours treading water and guarding each other from sharks. They must have felt hopeless and helpless as the dorsal fins of hungry sharks appeared and the darkness of night closed in. The reality was...

2022-10-0859 minCampion ChurchHis Remnant Church by Micheal GoetzGerman mathematician Johannes Stöffler concluded that 2.25.1524 would be the end... Because the planets would align, making a water sign. Thus, the world could expect a flood. It should come as no surprise that in 1666 many Christians believed the world would be over. You stir in the Great London Fire tragedy that started on September 2 of that year, and you have an overwhelming evidence. And then, you have Halley’s Comet that passes by the earth every 76 years or so. In 1910, Yerkes Observatory in Chicago announced that the tail of the comet had a poisonous gas, called cyanogen, and tha...

And that will be the last word in the bigger drama: not that man will demand and get his answers or his imagined rights, but that God will give, to those who endure to the end in this bitter war, ‘such good things as pass man’s understanding’ (Derek Kidner). And then, one day, against all odds from what we are experiencing and feeling now, God will be glorified and be able to pour the same into e...

Campion ChurchProphets: The Issue That Divides: Elisha by Michael GoetzAs we prepare for our worship and study, let me introduce it with the story below.
On the slope of Long’s Peak lies the ruin of a gigantic tree. Naturalists tell us that it stood for some four hundred years. It was a seedling when Columbus landed at San Salvador, and half grown when the pilgrims settled at Plymouth. During the course of its long life, it was struck by lightning fourteen times and the innumerable avalanches and storms of four centuries thundered past it. It survived them all. In the end, however, an army of beetles at...

A small announcement was posted. But word spread quickly and widely. When the day came the small hall was packed with others waiting outside. Sitting on the front row, Einstein looked back in surprise and exclaimed: “I never realized that in America there was so much interest in tensor analysis.” The story has been told and retold highlighting the humility of Albert Einstein. And it’s a good example. Of cou...
2021-10-0943 minCampion ChurchMy PURE Heart by Micheal Goetz 9/25/21According to the standard list, the seven deadly sins are pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth (laziness, inactivity). Warning: These are best found in others and seem almost extinct in oneself. But really, what if God’s greatest concern was to find these in me and not get rid of them but replace them with an entirely and permanently different character. To take the deadly sins and replace them with the seven virtues of faith, hope, prudence, justice, temperance, courage, and charity. Think this way... what is the most impure (disgusting) thing you can think of (outhouse, ro...

If you were old enough to be cognizant of life, you remember where you were that Tuesday morning. The two words emerging from the wreckage and the stories was the cry Never Forget. These two words originated after the holocaust and have been repeated through time as appeals to learn the lessons from the past but then to move forward with courage. In the tragedy of the 9/11 attacks two decades ago, there was a courage that...

The poem was included in the novel as words spoken to comfort a dying child. A few years later a tune and a chorus was added by William Batchelder Bradbury, and we have never stopped singing “Jesus loves me this I know.” United States Marines tell the story of working with Pacific islanders to retrieve survivors from a sinking ship, and as they worked together, the Islanders (who had learned “Jesus Love Me” from...
