The homily for Maundy Thursday. We look at the figure of bread in the Lord’s Supper: its transformation in what Jesus says and does from a figure of our death to a figure of our life, all because of Christ’s death for us.

Sermon for the Fifth Sunday in Lent, Passion Sunday, by the Rev. Dr. Len Finn. We look at Jeremiah 31:31-34, the promise of a new covenant, wherein the Torah of the Lord will be written on our hearts. Is this about knowing rules? How is this better than its being written on stone or in a book? And how will God achieve this in our cold and stony hearts? 

Sermon for the Third Sunday in Lent by the Rev. Dr. Len Finn. We look at Psalm 19’s juxtaposition of glory of God in the Creation and in Torah (the Law)—what they share in common and how they reveal God in different ways, ultimately pointing to Him as our Rock and our Redeemer.

Sermon for the second Sunday in Lent by the Rev. Dr. Len Finn. We look at one of the most encouraging and assuring passages in all of the New Testament: “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom 8:38-39). 

Sermon for the First Sunday in Lent by the Rev. Dr. Len Finn. We look at Peter’s contribution to our understanding of our baptism in the context of Christian suffering.

Homily for Ash Wednesday by the Rev. Dr. Len Finn. We meditate on the meaning and significance of rending our hearts during this Lenten season.

Sermon for Quinquagesima by the Rev. Dr. Len Finn. We look at the Cross-shaped character of the love that Paul is describing in this well-known passage from Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians.

Sermon for Sexagesima by the Rev. Dr. Len Finn. We look at the story of Noah and the Ark as a story of redemption through judgment in Christ.

Sermon for Septuagesima by the Rev. Dr. Len Finn. We look at Jesus’s parable of the workers in the vineyard in Matthew 20—“So the last will be first, and the first last.”—and hear the two words of Judgment and Gospel in the story.

Sermon for the Third Sunday in Epiphany by the Rev. Dr. Len Finn. We look at Jesus opening proclamation of the Gospel in Mark 1:15—“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”—and try to hear and understand it as words spoken to each one of us right here and right now.
