Make a New Normal

Sermons

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

  • We usually center our attention around Thomas, faith, and doubt. But this, like others, is really a story about Jesus.

  • Easter and expectations. The pressure of what we should do. Be perfect. Figure it all out. All of that is erased.

  • The Easter story is about wiping the slate, inviting us into a new vision of the world, to replace the one that’s killing us.

  • Exposed

    On Good Friday, we remember the crucifixion of Jesus. What we see is not just how broken the world is, but how whole it could be.

  • With Us Now

    The point of this moment isn’t only the experience or the result. It’s the coming to engage with God’s great project together.

  • The symbols of Palm Sunday evoke a mixed experience in a pandemic-influenced holy day. They also remind us of the art of framing the story.
