Sermons
Sermons preached in a context, but written for people of all sorts and conditions.
-
In commanding his disciples to love everybody, Jesus is pushing us to reject the thinking we think is natural, obvious, required of us.
-
The damning truth of it is that so many Christians reject Jesus’s approach to blessing. It’s not a competition, but a co-op.
-
The modern understanding of evangelism is off. It is selfish and embraces our individualism while Jesus invites us into common love.
-
The Presentation of Our Lord at the temple offers us another opportunity to witness others’ response to faith, to embody it with hope.
-
In proclaiming the year of the Lord’s favor, Jesus invites us to see, not an ideal future, but an actual, present command for life.
-
It is the servants who witness the miracle, not the guests. The ones who are invited to do the work, to participate in sharing God’s grace.
