Sermons

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

  • The Trinity is hard. Understanding it. And living it. But that is precisely what Jesus is inviting us to work out.

  • Pentecost is a moment of empowerment. But what are we being empowered to do? We often use the confusion to avoid doing anything.

  • Jesus says he came to make us one. Looking around, we can all see that we aren’t. Of course, we could be wrong…

  • Jesus leaves the disciples a parting gift: peace. What we still get wrong about it and why pairing it with love is central.

  • Jesus commands us to love. But he doesn’t lay out the rules. It’s our job to figure out what that really means.

  • The problem is that we think John 10 is about punishing those who don’t follow Jesus. We get it completely wrong.
