Our transfigured moments and experiences may be closer to us and more available than we realize.

Perhaps we are feeling tired and weary in this moment. The God who animates the energetic creatures we see in our backyards will also give us the energy we need to fulfill our call in this time and place.

We think of Jonah as the story of the guy in the belly of the great fish. But, the real miracle of the story of Jonah is the redemption that God causes among the people of Nineveh. The story of Jonah is an opportunity for us to consider our own call to participate in God's redemptive action in the world.

Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Can anything good come out of our nation? Our of you? Out of me? The scandal of the incarnation is that God uses the flawed, ordinary, and familiar, to make the divine love known.

Sermon for the Baptism of Jesus

This 3rd Sunday of Advent traditionally has a theme of joy. Is it possible to experience joy and also be sad?

A sermon for the 2nd week of Advent.

This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. This sermon is the first of a series on dreams, the dreams God has for us, and how we are called to live into these dreams. We thank A Sanctified Art for this theme and for the liturgical resources in the rest of our worship service.

This sermon is the final sermon of a series on God's action within the wilderness. It also marks the culmination of our stewardship campaign. The text is Isaiah 35:1-10

This is the third sermon of a stewardship series, "God Transforms the Wilderness." As we walk though this time of pandemic uncertainty, we are considering what God can do within our wilderness.
