Sermons

Pentecost XVII: The true challenge of greatness for you and for me is not what we must grasp or grab. Rather, God in Christ Jesus asks what we will release in order to become truly great.

Pentecost XVI: Jesus shows us the way. It’s not always easy and sometimes the people closest to us will express their fear and concern for our well-being.

Pentecost XV: We cannot truly see ourselves until someone “other” reflects our image back to us.

Pentecost XIV: We can’t claim to be a member of the global community and claim that only when it inures to our benefit, financial or otherwise.

Pentecost XIII: There’s no magic to living a transformative life dedicated to the healing and liberation of the world. All you have to do is act on what you say you believe.

Pentecost XII: We can’t all be martyrs, but we can all be witnesses. We can offer ourselves in the spirit of Jesus and after the example of Jonathan Daniels.

Pentecost XI: Anger, when confessed in love, opens the door to newness.

Pentecost X: The point of this meal is our shared fellowship with Jesus. We make him present not only in breaking bread but in our ongoing work of prayer and faithful action in the world. Eucharist is not just a ritual meal. It is a way of living.

Pentecost IX: Never believe your own propaganda. For you to be a saint means to be yourself.
