Sermons
Sermons preached in a context, but written for people of all sorts and conditions.
-
In seeking Jesus, we see people at their most invested. In clamoring for power and preserving status, we see us at our least.
-
Jesus offers Nicodemus a new way of seeing the world and a new life. Our attempts to make new life easy strip it of its true substance.
-
In all of the order of the Temple, we struggle to see the mess underneath; why things need to change; and even what to do about it.
-
The return of temptation is a reminder of what our resistance to temptation is really about. Keeping faith in a life full of hope.
-
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.
-
When we gather together, placing ashes on our foreheads to remember our mortality, we join a very public and common witness.
