A sermon on Mark 4: 35-41 The One who was there as the world was created, there at the moment we were born, there at every moment of our lives, this one so beyond who we are cares.

Just Say It
September 30, 2021
A sermon on Mark 4: 26-34 My favorite books are fantasy novels – take me on an adventure. Teach me about this world by showing me something so far beyond this world that it all seems like magic. Jesus doesn’t really go in that direction. He tells his stories about things the members of his audience might relate to, farming, sheep, baking … [Read more...]
It Burns

A Sermon on Isaiah 6: 1-8 There’s a lot of debate out in the world about heaven and hell.

God’s Children
September 16, 2021
1 John 3: 1-3 "See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God." This passage is always lifted up lovingly in Sunday School classes. Isn't it so comforting and happy. Except that I'm not always sure we want to be called children of anyone most of the time. Certainly I did not in my early 20s, after … [Read more...]
