Sermons
Sermons preached in a context, but written for people of all sorts and conditions.
-
The controversial moment, when Jesus seems to insult a Canaanite woman may be our most important opportunity to learn.
-

-
We encounter the Transfiguration with our own skewed vision of the world; and our precious place in it.
-
In this doozy of a gospel, Jesus seems to support division. What he really supports is freedom and community.
-
Jesus looks at all of the people and he sees a whole—all of the people together—who need help and people to help.
-
When Jesus transgresses boundaries, he exposes the way people focus on the wrong thing. Like when we do it, too.
