When he imposed ashes as a first year seminarian, Fr. David recalled being completely perplexed when people would reply to "Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return" with "thank you." In hindsight, perhaps that response was more apt than met the eye. (Preached by The Rev. David Sibley)

A difficult reading from Matthew's gospel speaks of murder and anger, lust and adultery, hands cut off and eyes plucked out. But at the heart of Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount is an invitation to more - an invitation to growth and abundant life. (Preached by The Rev. Ryan Fleenor)

Salt and light are ordinary things - things we truly don't notice until they are gone. But they are essential to life itself.

Jesus' Presentation in the Temple is an incredible, world changing event - the light of God's purposes revealed for all the world to see. And yet that revelation happens not with a bang, but in the midst of the ordinary life of faithful people. (Preached by The Rev. David Sibley)

We might like our world to be dramatically different from the one where Jesus called Simon Peter, Andrew, James, and John away from their nets on the Sea of Galilee.

The first words Jesus speaks in the gospel of John are "What are you looking for?"; the second words he speaks are "Come and see." When paired together, we find an incredible invitation into the life of discipleship. (Preached by The Rev. David Sibley)

Jesus didn't have to be baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist, but his baptism gives new fulness of meaning of his ministry in our own lives as God's people. (Preached by The Rev. David Sibley)

Wise men from the east journey far, seeking the home where a young child lay. When faced with the choice of danger or righteousness, they chose the harder path - and went home by another way. What path do you take? (Preached by The Rev. David Sibley)

Christmas isn't a fairy tale to be remembered once a year. Because to celebrate Christmas is to rejoice that there is absolutely nowhere that God won't go, and absolutely no one that God won't love. (Preached by The Rev. David Sibley)
