August 14, 2018 Season of Pentecost - Ephesians -- New Creation
Ephesians 4: 25-5:2
We are a new creation.
Through a clear understanding of being that new creation, are now part of the body of Christ.
Being part of that body calls on us to grow in love, not staying static but instead growing, growing, growing.
The key is we are a new creation, putting away what we were, and embracing what is new

July 09, 2018 Season of Pentecost -- Ephesians 3 and a third rule for Leadership!
The leadership principle is pretty simple: There is a God and you are not it! I play with that during the text in different ways, but the real thing is for us to be open the revelation of God in our hearts, but inviting God in. Can we just let God be God and we get out of the way of blocking entrance or even worse perhaps, inviting in, but then not encouraging God to live in all the rooms of the house.
This is the 9:00 AM Service.
Ephesians 3: 14-21. Jan Woodmansee is the liturgist and does the reading.
Thank you to the various commentaries in Feasting on the Word. Wonderful resource.

July 01, 2018 Season of Pentecost -- Ephesians 2 and a Second Rule of Church Leadership
Ephesians 2: 13-22. The second rule is to be grateful and remember those who came before us. We are going to have seven weeks of Ephesians when done.
This was preached on July 1, 2018 right before the July 4th midweek break. I obviously felt we could do both -- secular and sacred.

June 19, 2018 Season of Pentecost -- If you can't get out of it, Get into it!
The 10:30 version of June 17th Sermon. The title of "If you can't get out of it, get into it" comes from a Parker Palmer reflection I quote. Use a couple of mountain climbing illustrations but the big idea is staying anchored in Jesus come good times or more challenging times. The other readings for this Sunday focused on horaculture themes of grafting and I used them a little.

June 19, 2018 Season of Pentecost -- Graduate Recognition Sunday
The Scripture this week was from Old Testament Proverbs, Chapter 7, but the focus was more on the broader topic of faith, family, friends. Played with idea of those three important words. The setting was a borderline baccalureate service for Hilltop graduating students and chose to try and focus on how those hearing the words could use them to help be mentors and coaches.

June 19, 2018 Season of Pentecost -- You Are the Light of the World!
Elder Mary Kavila preached on my behalf this June 10th last. Her scripture was Matthew 5: 14-16. As is usual when Mary preaches she brings both gentle understanding and a challenge to the application of the scripture.
