Sermons

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

  • In reading the opening of the gospel of John on Christmas Day, we get a better sense of God’s vision for creation.

  • The Christmas story, of the birth of Jesus, we are offered a vision of hope for all, but especially for those in need.

  • The Holy Family is our family. And God shows us that we are part of a project that thrives on making room for the new.

  • Beloved

    John the Baptist isn’t the Messiah. He’s the prophet preparing the way. But we can see what Jesus is doing.

  • When John the Baptist confronts religious leaders in line waiting to be baptized, we are confronted with the reality of change.

  • Jesus’s apocalyptic vision seems confusing. Until we focus on what he’s trying to say rather than what we hear.
