Sermons

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

  • A lot happens before the Transfiguration. But something right before it colors how we might understand it.

  • It seems that we read this passage for the words Jesus says and then miss the message he conveys with them.

  • Getting at what Jesus is speaking to requires we remember the Beatitudes. And placing that above our own logic.

  • Blessed

    The Beatitudes challenge us to see the love in vulnerability, hope in fear, and in the blessing of justice.

  • Legacies

    Jesus invites fishermen to become disciples. To accept the transformation of their lives. Which is the point.

  • Our Time

    John the Baptist and Andrew offer a hopeful vision of faith, adaptation, and trust at a time of great change.
