Leviathan "sporting" in the sea; galaxies we haven't seen; St. Francis calling animals "brother" and "sister": Zack reviews some of the biblical witness setting forth God's profound love for (non-human) creation -- and discusses what this might mean for us.

In this second sermon on the Parable of the Real Neighbor (the Good Samaritan), Zack argues that love requires imagination and training, that invitations to partner in Kingdom work may be more important than we think, that "fruits" are different than "results."

In wrestling with why we don't act like the Good Samaritan, Zack argues that we are all "high-hurry seminary students" -- and suggests what we might do about it.

In this Christmas Day sermon, Zack marvels at how amazing it is that Jesus is both human and God.

Five parables; changing our "time horizon"; a new way to pray the Lord's Prayer: Zack explains what it means to wait on the Lord.

The problem of toenails, cannibalism, and overly tall people: Zack draws on the wisdom of the early Church to help us better appreciate our hope for bodily resurrection.

Naps, vacation, boredom, and decadence; a social Kingdom; embracing the drab stone dark cathedral: Zack explains why "rest" is one of our greatest hopes.

Zack makes the case that our ultimate hope is not restoration of life before "the Fall" but, instead, much, much more.

Conflicting Scriptures as a gift; the fundamental gesture of the Scripture; what, exactly, is cursed: Zack discusses whether "the Fall" is one cause of our suffering in this world and considers why it is important to try to understand our suffering.

The problem with autographs; boasting in suffering; eating too much honey: Zack evaluates the logic by which suffering results from disobedience.
