Sermons

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

  • Jesus’s miracle of turning water into wine is famous. But it isn’t the only thing that matters about this story.

  • The Baptism of Jesus is the beginning of the story. And it reminds us of the central theme of the gospel is new life.

  • In the Holy Family, we see the example of God’s command: to trust. In their flight into Egypt, we are reminded of God’s command.

  • The Feast of Stephen reminds us that Christmas is a rebellious act of transformative love in a world of hate.

  • In the light of Christmas Day, we can see a different side to Christmas. The part that we play in the big Jesus Event.

  • No Way Home

    “Home” is one of the characters of the Nativity. But it certainly isn’t the way Mary and Joseph receive comfort.
