Sermons

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

  • Into the Wild

    Mark doesn’t tell us what is tempting Jesus in the wilderness. But we know what it is about. Because we know what tempts us.

  • How to Pray

    When we gather together, placing ashes on our foreheads to remember our mortality, we join a very public and common witness.

  • Sometimes what we see in the world isn’t real. Or more precisely, real in the way we imagine it. Because we aren’t actually listening.

  • There is so much unsaid in the text. We’ll miss how powerful it is. And how much we already assume is just clearly there.

  • A recurring theme in the gospels is that people are astounded and amazed by Jesus. How many Christians actually are?

  • Being called to follow Jesus is an invitation to change. A process that naturally separates us from all that we called home.
