Rules and Regulations

Sermon | December 27, 2020

Today’s reading from Galatians got me started thinking about rules and regulations. Paul is talking about the Mosaic laws, the covenant between God and God’s people. My thoughts, however, went immediately to the law in another sense, to the framework of secular rules and regulations in which we currently live our lives. In particular, how

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

Coming of Age

Sermon | December 6, 2020

The season of Advent brings us back to the familiar. The familiar decorations around the house. The familiar music on the radio. For us here in Seattle; the familiar long nights and short days.

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
