The first sermon looks at legalism in the scripture and in our own day. The second looks at "muscular Christianity" through the eyes of that famous Syrophoenician woman. 

This sermon for Pentecost 13 considers where home is. (Hint: for the Christian, it is wherever Jesus is.) I also included the recording of the congregation singing "Abide with Me."

After vacation and some technical difficulties, here are two sermons from August 1 and 8. Both focus on portions of John 6...for the most part.

Sermon for Easter 5, 2021. This sermon looks at the way Christians can too often become cynical or pessimistic when we, in fact, have very good reasons to be optimistic.
