We find ourselves today with Peter and John at Solomon’s portico at the Temple in Jerusalem. They are surrounded by throngs of people who are stunned by their capacity to heal a man crippled from birth. Peter says to the crowd: “This healing was not done in our names, but the name of Jesus… You

The Body
Sermon | April 4, 2021
HAPPY EASTER! Here we are outside under a ceiling of sky, in the fresh air, together praising God. It’s like a picnic, sort of… in that we have to lug our own chairs out here. Hopefully yours isn’t sinking into the mulch. Seeing you reminds me of the Holy Land. We are a pilgrims’ parish

Maybe even familiar food and holiday drinks appear. And we experience, here in church, very familiar Bible stories. Today we find
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
