Sermons

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

  • While Jesus condemns the will to power, we can’t imagine a world without it. So maybe we should try harder.

  • When we hear Jesus’s apocalyptic talk, we often shut down. Which means we avoid hearing the good news itself.

  • Saintly Messy

    Celebrating All Saints’ Day in church is a beautiful chaos; a messy day of searching, hoping, that we too are good.

  • Getting Found

    Zacchaeus wants to see! But to see, he needs to be vulnerable enough to be seen. The key is that he’s already found.

  • Being good and doing good. We usually make it a debate. And then marching orders. Above them, though, is mercy.

  • Jesus tells stories that engage our assumptions; and drive us to consider what it is that we’re really avoiding.
