In my life I have seen three versions of Michelangelo’s Statue of David. One is the original that before the pandemic millions visited each year in Florence at the Galleria dell’Accademia.

GOAT and Sheep of the Good Shepherd
Good morning Christians, Seekers, and Friends! It probably isn’t surprising to hear me say that I am not exactly a sports enthusiast. I think I may love enough of the standard PNW pursuits to allow me regional citizenship – I like to walk, swim, hike, and bike – all good Seattle activities, right? And as
Signs in the Time of COVID
Good morning Christians, Seekers, and Friends! Happy Sunday everyone! I hope that today you will find the occasion to rejoice in this day that the Lord has made and this season of summer 2021 that we are already a little over a month into… I know sometimes when something miraculous happens—like the creation of vaccines
Stilling Storms

The Parables of Jesus

A Treatise on the Devil
The devil shows up in scripture today. He is going by Beelzebub, which is sort of a great word, even though it is the name of Satan. It rolls off the tongue… Beelzebub. I’d like to invite you all to say it with me, but that might be a little weird in a church. Sometimes
Dance with the Spirit
Good morning Christians, Seekers, and Friends! Happy Trinity Sunday! I am super excited to be here with you this morning! And I hope you all are as excited as I am. You get to hear a sermon about the Trinity today! Hooray! And I really mean it. For those of you who have glanced over
