Let’s Get Personal – A Maundy Thursday Sermon On John 13:1-17, 31-35
I’ve come to believe that this night, Maundy Thursday, just might be the most difficult day of Holy Week. I think we would rather glory in the cross of Christ than expose our feet. I think we would rather marvel at the empty tomb than feel the altar of our life stripped bare. Maybe that’s Read more

Reclaiming The Truth Within Us – A Sermon On John 13:1-17, 31-35 For Maundy Thursday
This night always brings up a lot of stuff for me. I think it does for a lot of people. Maybe that’s one of the reasons it’s not well attended and why most do not participate in washing feet. That’s not a criticism, just a recognition that this night brings up a lot of stuff. Read more

Our Jesus Moments – A Sermon On John 13:1-17, 31-35 For Maundy Thursday
Earlier this week I was talking with a friend about tonight’s foot washing. He said, “Do you want to hear about my Jesus moment?” I couldn’t help it and I just started laughing. And then he started laughing. “Sure,” I said, “tell me about your Jesus moment.” The reason we were laughing is that my Read more

Re-membering – A Sermon On John 13:1-17, 31-35 For Maundy Thursday
What comes to mind when you think about Maundy Thursday? Most of us probably think about the foot washing and the last supper.

Coming Clean About Ourselves – A Sermon On John 13:1-17, 31-35
Here’s my question. What in you needs to come clean tonight? And what is your fear about that? This is not about whether you will wash someone’s feet or take off your shoes and socks and let your feet be washed. This is about your own sense of worthiness and whether you are enough. I… Read more

Let’s Never Stop Loving – A Maundy Thursday Sermon On John 13:1-17, 31-35
Maundy Thursday – John 13:1-17, 31-35 The last couple of days I’ve been thinking of previous Maundy Thursdays and previous foot washings. There are no feet to wash tonight but I think there’s something to be learned from that. One of the things that struck me as I thought about this night and this Read more

This Is Our Night – A Sermon On John 13:1-17, 31-35 For Maundy Thursday
Maundy Thursday – John 13:1-17, 31-35 “You will never wash my feet,” Peter says to Jesus. What’s that about? What’s going on with Peter? I don’t know but I have a guess. I think it’s about more than having his feet washed. In fact, I don’t think it’s even about his feet. I think it’s Read more

The Table and Remembrance – A Sermon for Maundy Thursday
Think about a time when you gathered around the table in remembrance. Where was the table? Who was there? Who wasn’t there? What was the conversation about? What was your remembrance as you gathered around that table? Read more

Taking our Share with Jesus – A Sermon for Maundy Thursday on John 13:1-17, 31-35
I’ve now been here at St. Philip’s long enough that you probably know one of the things I emphasize in my teaching, preaching, and our life together is the movement from thinking to experience, the practice of living out of our hearts rather than our heads. My focus on this is as much for me Read more
