Sermons

Palm Sunday: In Christ hanging on the cross we see as much of God as we can ever hope to see—God’s complete self-giving love, God’s identifying with our humanity even in dying, God’s promising us that there is nothing we can face in this life that can separate us from God’s love.

Lent V: Extravagance, going for broke, putting our hearts and souls on the line—that’s something that doesn’t come naturally to most of us prudent types.

Lent II: The tragic truth of today is that if Jesus agonized and even wept over Jerusalem then, the tears would be flowing non-stop now.

Lent I: Jesus is tempted to believe that there can be an easy way through life, a shortcut to salvation.

We give thanks to almighty God for a live well lived and a servant who was tempered and made stronger by the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Epiphany IV: Christian love takes every ounce of your maturity and hard work over a lifetime, waking up every morning asking God for the grace to help you love despite others and despite yourself.

Epiphany III: My hope is that some of the times when you’re sitting in church things will get a little surprising.

A Service of Prayer for Haiti: Terror is not limited to Haiti. The prophets remind us that the kind of terror that leaves us shaking in our boots comes from poverty ignored and justice denied.

Epiphany II; Martin Luther King, Jr. Sunday: We now must face into the ugly truth of the abject poverty that has for too many years been quietly ignored by the international community and that has crippled this Caribbean country of Haiti.

Epiphany I: The Source of all that is, the Creator God, calls us by name and promises to go through everything, absolutely everything with us.
