Waters Ave Sermoncast

In this 4th Sunday of Lent, we explore the story from the ninth chapter of John's gospel. The story concludes with Jesus claiming to bring sight to the blind and blindness to the seeing. We unpack the main event of the text and examine each characters response to it in order to make sense of this odd statement from Jesus. 

In this sermon we examine the John 4 which tells the story of Jesus' interaction with a Samaritan woman. We look at how this passage is typically interpreted in order to enforce misogynistic tendencies in Christianity. But we discovered instead not a Jesus who is cutting a hard heart, but a Jesus who heals a hurting heart - even though it took him completely outside of his religious boundaries. Sermon preached 3/4/18

In this second week of Lent, we look at the famous discussion between Jesus and Nicodemus to find out a little bit about the depth of life that we can all experience. Sermon date - 2/25/18

In this first sermon of Lent, we explore the story of Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness in order to discover that his wilderness journey is ours to take as well. We discover that we must learn to hear the voices of accusation in our lives if we are to ever move past them. Sermon date: 2/18/18
