Sermons

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.

Pentecost VIII

Pentecost VII: For when we show that we love something or someone that another cares about, that’s God’s grace at work in our lives, creating blessings.

Pentecost VI: Christians will always be caught in the gap between the country we desire and the country we have.

Pentecost V: In calling for the windows to be removed, I am asking not to rewrite the past but to tell the story of the past honestly—in a way that honors not just one side but everyone involved in a painful time whose effects are with us yet.

Pentecost IV: The trick, I think, for all of us in our lives is to be cognizant of the things that we cannot change, but equally aware of the things that we can.

Pentecost III: The kingdoms we know are temporal and territorial; God’s reign is independent of time and space, neither floating above the clouds nor awaiting some future cataclysmic event to announce its arrival, but existing here and now.
