Good morning Christians, seekers, and friends: So, a friend thought it would be funny if I were to begin my sermon today that old joke “A priest, a rabbi, and minister walk into a bar….” And she assured me that if I did so, she would laugh out loud. So, I thought, what the heck?
Higher Love
Sermon | April 11, 2021
Hallelujah!
Sermon | April 3, 2021
As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ tonight, the word that marks this moment is hallelujah. It means praise God, which is sort of odd to say praise God as a way of praising God. The truth is hallelujah is a rather untranslatable word: it is more a guttural affirmation; a mysterious proclamation; a
Jesus’ New Commandment
Sermon | April 1, 2021
Good evening Christians, seekers, and friends, I wonder what it would be like for someone who doesn’t really know much about Christianity to come into the Church tonight. At this point, a little over eighty percent of the American populace knows that Easter celebrates Resurrection but what, exactly, this means to those of us who
Joy to the World!
Sermon | December 25, 2020
Good morning Christians, seekers and friends: Merry Christmas! And thank you so much for joining me in celebrating Jesus’ birth today. I have to admit to you all that Christmas morning services are some of my favorite all year, which is always odd since I was born and remain a life-long night owl, AND my
Hope in a Time of COVID
Sermon | December 24, 2020
Merry Christmas. Tonight, I am going to preach about hope, the hope we experience through the birth of Jesus. It is a good time to talk of hope. We are in a moment that feels hopeful, doesn’t it? We are like that dove perched on the widow of Noah’s ark, poised, ready to flap back
God Loves the Small Things
Sermon | December 13, 2020
Something very small is about to take place. Something small, yet personally significant, at least to the parents, Mary and Joseph. A baby is going to be born. Certainly, in their hearts, there is a stirring, there is hope. In their imagination and conversation, they speculate and anticipate. Both have had dreams and visions around
Ready at a Moment’s Notice
Sermon | November 15, 2020
The apostle Paul has given us such interesting imagery in his first letter to the Thessalonians today. I love the start, it’s as if he is speaking to you and me, right now. He begins, “Now concerning these times and seasons, brothers and sisters, you do not need anything written to you.” He is looking
God Will Be God
Sermon | November 8, 2020
It has been quite an exciting few days (if you want to call it that). For some of us there is hope, for some of us there is consternation. Indeed, we all have a different view of what the future will hold going forward, even if we claim to be part of the same political
The Power of the Dream
Sermon | October 25, 2020
Good morning Christians, Seekers, and Friends! The year I heard A LOT about lemmings, was also the year that I heard A LOT of Fleetwood Mac. I was still in my first years of elementary school but I was pretty musically “savvy” thanks to my sister who is six years older than I am, and
