In this sermon we talk about grace, Bert and I (and how people from Maine give directions), the difference between telling God's story beginning at Genesis 3 versus Genesis 1-2, Saint Maximos the Confessor (and how the incarnation was always the plan regardless of Sin), and how we are made for grace.

In this sermon we begin a series looking at the word grace. We look at how easily we can become comfortable with it forgetting what made it wonderful in the first place. We focus specifically on God's prevenient grace (with a little help from Juan Valdez and Conchita) and how God is everywhere and always giving the gift of the divine presence, which is grace (with a little help again from Flannery O'Connor).

In this sermon Tim Olson (giest speaker) talks about what it means to put the moral cart before the Jesus horse and how we need to find a better way, namely that Jesus meets us where we're at first and then calls us to imitate him. It's about grace versus legalism, or about learning how to love Jesus first in order to then understand what it might mean to imitate him.

In this sermon Tim Olson (guest speaker) helps us imagine a church that focuses not on what we do not but what we should do instead as followers of Jesus.

In this sermon Tim Olson (guest speaker) talks about the more to the story of God we might be missing.

In this sermon we meditate on the great prologue of John's gospel, what it has to do with wisdom, and what it might mean to incarnate as a church the things God cares about.

In this sermon we return to the story of Jesus as a twelve year old who ditched his family for a day in order to hangout in the temple. We consider what Mary has to teach us about holding close to Christ as we grow into the fullness of him as the revelation of God.

In this sermon we return the story of Jesus' birth presented as a fictionalized telling of events from the perspective of a group of ordinary angels.

In this sermon we return to Mary's song, the Magnificat. We talk about Mary (with a little help from Fargo) as the image of the church and the hinge upon with Christian witness happens.

In this sermon we continue to look at John the Baptist, why he calls them a brood of vipers, what fire and pruning mean in terms of reordering our lives, what it all has to do with joy (and the opposite of joy), and why this is good news.
