Notoriously Episcopalian

A sermon offered on the 18th Sunday after Pentecost, October 4, 2020.

Maybe it is time for us to remember God’s commandment to keep the sabbath. And that by doing so we aren’t burying our head in the sand or ignoring the world around us. Instead, we are reclaiming our power, making more space for God, and less space for the idols in this world.

Readings: Exodus 20:1-4, 7-9, 12-20 * Psalm 19 * Philippians 3:4b-14 * Matthew 21:33-46

We learn at an early age what is fair. Our readings from Exodus about manna in the wilderness and the parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard in Matthew challenge our understanding of fairness. The Kingdom of Heaven isn't about fairness, it is about generosity.

Readings: Exodus 16:2-15 * Psalm 105:1-6, 37-45 * Philippians 1:21-30 * Matthew 20:1-16

While the parting of the Red Sea looks exciting on film, the story raises a lot of questions. What do we learn from this scene of God's awesome power that gives freedom to the Israelites and death to the Egyptians?

Readings: Exodus 14:19-31 * Psalm 114 * Romans 14:1-12 * Matthew 18:21-35

A sermon offered on the 14th Sunday after Pentecost, September 6, 2020.

The exciting story of Exodus is interrupted right before the climactic moment of the final plague by liturgical instructions for celebrating Passover. The moment of liberation is so important that the creation of the liturgy to remember the moment is part of the story itself.

I was thankful to worship with the good folks of St. Andrew's Birmingham as they resumed inside, in person (physically distanced) worship this morning, and then at Trinity Commons in the evening. The recording is from the morning service at St. Andrew's.

Readings: Exodus 12:1-14 * Psalm 149 * Romans 13:8-14 * Matthew 18:15-20
