Sermons
Sermons preached in a context, but written for people of all sorts and conditions.
-
The place of the crucifixion in our public imagination is as an act of consequence or violation rather than revelation.
-
The challenge of dealing with all of Holy Week in a single Sunday is that we can’t. So we don’t even try. Which is a mistake.
-
The focus of Lazarus’s resurrection story is witnessing the glory of God. The heart, then, is found in how Mary responds.
-
This story is less about the miracle of giving sight to the blind, but the way the leaders avoid seeing grace.
-
The boundaries evident in the passage about the woman at the well are evocative. And so is the way Jesus crosses them.
-
Lent is a season of discipline. This week’s gospel is a real test for our ability to keep our focus on the goal.
