April 15, 2016

John 21:1-19 What have the past two weeks been like for you? Have you seen and experienced resurrection in your life? What does it look? Here’s why I’m asking.

He Came Back – A Sermon on John 20:19-31

April 3, 2016

John 20:19-31 Alleluia. Christ is risen. The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia. It just sort of rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Alleluia. Christ is risen. The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia. It was the highpoint of last week’s Easter liturgy. It was today’s opening acclamation and will be for the next several weeks. But Read more
Resurrection, The First Day Stories of our Life – An Easter Sermon on Luke 24:1-12

March 31, 2016

Rethinking Temptation: It’s More Than Just Saying No – A Sermon on Luke 4:1-13

February 14, 2016

Luke 4:1-13 Jesus overcame the temptations in the wilderness. He made it possible for us to overcome our temptations. Be like Jesus and just say no. Does that sound familiar? I wonder if that’s how we often hear today’s gospel (Luke 4:1-13). I’m guessing most of us know the just say no story or some Read more
