The Rev. Nick Lannon

On Ash Wednesday, the Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Matthew 6, in which Jesus cautions against "practicing piety" in front of others. An ashen mark, then, is both a confession of need and an admission of reliance on the cross.

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Luke 2, in which the boy Jesus is found in the temple. Why do we know so little about the life of the young Jesus? The Gospel writers are laser-focused on...well, the Gospel: Jesus' death and resurrection to save sinners.
