After a 4 month hiatus from the pulpit, I joined Dennis Perry this Sunday for a dialogue sermon on John 5's story of the healing at Bethsaida.

This Sunday I closed out our 'Mystical Christmas' series by looking at St. Nicholas, who received a mystical encounter from Christ after Nick's temper tantrum at the Council of Nicaea.

Kevin Church, banjo player in Aldersgate's Bluegrass Band, wrote this wonderful bluegrass gospel song for Christmas.

Church Father John Chrysostom wrote that the star of Bethlehem was no ordinary star because that which it illumined was exceptionally ordinary. Here's a sermon on Matthew 2.1-12 in which I try to filter Chrysostom through a recent trip on an airplane.

Here's my sermon for Advent 1 on Colossians 1.15-20

I continued our community-themed series this past weekend with a sermon on Matthew 15, the passage where Jesus calls a Canaanite woman a b@#$%.

My friend Scot McKnight, author of the Jesus Creed blog and book, preached this weekend. In advance of his upcoming book, A Kingdom Conspiracy, Scot preached on the church as a kingdom community of forgiveness and reconciliation.
