Make a New Normal

Sermons

Sermons preached in a context, but written for people of all sorts and conditions.

  • Radiate Love

    The grace Jesus offers in these healing stories is a grace of transformation, of change, of the true hope of learning to be new.

  • Christian tradition has a troubled past with purity, making it another thing to adhere to rather than a matter of love and grace.

  • Grace for All

    Thousands of people abandon Jesus before the end of John 6. Because they are far more interested in him than in where he is going.

  • Most Americans are steeped in a tradition of binary thinking that does make decision making easier, but also a lot less honest.

  • As followers of Jesus, we are comfortable with the idea of the Good News as work. Less so with what that means for our lives.

  • In the disturbing story of John the Baptizer’s death, we are invited to see the power in creating a delusion of false helplessness.
