A funeral sermon.

A reflection on Jesus’ interaction with the rich man.

Another sermon during this season where the focus is on creation care. ‘The human being of the future will be a mystic or she will not exist at all.’

‘If I dwell in my anger I impair the Holy Spirit’s capacity to dwell in me.’
