Why does Jesus tell us to hate our fathers and mothers and sisters and brothers? What is the price tag on following him?

In this sermon Bishop Burton shares the lowdown on being low-down.

Humility isn’t just a good idea. It’s the best possible life you could live modeled by the best person who ever lived.

The world shakes, but Zion never trembles. We need to live on a different mountain.

God is like fire—dangerous and desirable.

What is the fire that Jesus says he comes to “cast onto the earth”? It is the fire of God’s love.

One of our great anxieties is loneliness. At our core we don’t want to be alone. Loneliness is a unique kind of pain because we weren’t designed for it.

We all are uncomfortable with admitting we live pretty normal lives. Why do we long to be extraordinary? And is that a good longing?

A little faith goes a long way to trust in God's seemingly impossible promises.

If we knew how much time we had left, then we’d get our lives in order. Right? Maybe. Two years? Ten years? Fifty? It’s all just five minutes. Young or old, healthy or sick, it’s later than we think. We have today. Only today. What shall we do?
