On this weekly sermon episode, we look at Amos' prophecy to the wealthy and powerful in Israel and Jesus' parable of the shrewd manager as warnings about where our allegiances lie. Jesus reminds us we cannot serve both wealth and God and that our misplaced faith in wealth doesn't save like our faith in God does.

On this week's sermon episode, we look at the readings for the Feast of the Holy Cross. In this sermon, we reflect on how the cross is more than a symbol—it is God’s landmark of unity in a divided world. Where factions and rivalries tear us apart, the cross gathers us, exposes our pride, and redefines wisdom and power through Christ’s self-giving love.

On this week's sermon episode, we look at how Jesus and the author of Hebrews views hospitality, how we should extend radical love to the neglected and forgotten. True greatness isn’t found in fighting for the best seat, but in choosing the low seat and opening the table wide like Jesus.

On this week's sermon episode, we look at the texts from Isaiah 58 and Luke 13 about the nature of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was not just established for rest but for freedom and truly living the Sabbath means helping others instead of ourselves.
