Sermons

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

  • Being Mary

    Mary anoints Jesus’s feet. Judas argues for the prudent use of resources. Why do we always side with Judas?

  • In the parable of the lost sons, Jesus shows us our greatest obstacle is how much we want others to deserve our scorn.

  • Jesus challenges us to see beyond asking why things happen and toward what we are called to do in light of it.

  • As Jesus describes Jerusalem’s unwillingness to be gathered by him, we must confront our own fear of being gathered.

  • Our Temptation

    The devil tempts Jesus in the wilderness with power. The question is what power are we tempted to claim for ourselves?

  • Our hearts don’t just follow our treasure. They’re linked. Which means the gospel demands we love and share with others.
