Isaiah 7:10-16 & Matthew 1:18-25 - There's never a perfect time to have a baby. But there are worse times than others. Major international conflict, pandemics or even just bad politicians make having a baby more difficult and more dangerous. God steps into two such times, announcing the births of two babies, both of whom remind us that God is with us!

A Dangerous Time for a Baby

Preaching Friends! You've got a lot to do, caring for your folks, going to meetings, doing visits, planning and praying. Let me help you with the preaching research! Every Monday (before the following Sunday) let me give you 10ish minutes of thoughts on the Revised Common Lectionary Bible passages so that you don't have to wait until Saturday night to get started on that sermon (or if you do wait, you're never starting from scratch!).My focus in research and preaching is connecting to the lived experience of humans in the texts. Far too often we are looking for analogies or quick take-aways and miss the opportunity to treasure the stories of humans who interacted with God and each other - just like we do!I hold a Ph.D. in Jewish Religious Cultures [Emory], a M.A. in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures (Arabic &amp; Hebrew) [Ohio State], a M.Div. [Luther Seminary] and have been a Deacon and then Pastor in the ELCA for a whole long time!
