Sermons

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

  • In the prologue to John’s gospel, we get a deep, wonderful, and expansive image of God that builds up our awe and our gratitude.

  • Luke sets us up to see the birth of Jesus as more than the uncommon birth of the Son of God. It is a common flashpoint for love.

  • With Us

    It is tempting to see Joseph as righteous because he “does right by Mary”. But this version misses the story’s most powerful truth.

  • When we find John the Baptist imprisoned, we may be tempted to settle on his doubt. But doubt isn’t his problem. He’s already convinced.

  • The season we often use to anticipate Christmas can be an invitation to both plan and dream, not only what’s possible, but what God will make possible.

  • In the holiday season, we hear Jesus’s invite us to listen and hear in the midst of chaos—a call, not to ending it, but being in the center of it.
