   One X One X One -Holy Trinity Sunday

   How can One Father, plus One Son, plus One Holy Spirit possibly allow us to worship ONE GOD? Folks often get hung up on the math of the Holy Trinity. But what if we're using the wrong operator? What if the right operator means that God's love is multiplying so that we are all one? What if the…

   Uncommon- Pentecost Sunday

   "This is an uncommon time, full of new life through the presence of the Advocate who walks with us, teaching us and reminding us all of what Christ has said. On this day that transcends the ordinary, alights us all with the fire of God’s fulfilled promises, and sends us on new paths to boldly…

   You Belong- Easter 5C

   "...Part of human nature is to build defenses, create biases, draw assumptions that will protect ourselves. It is part of who we are to draw lines of in and out. We do this to be safe. But it is also part of human nature for these defenses, biases, and assumptions to be challenged. It’s human...

   Buried Or Planted- Easter 3C

   "Sometimes it takes a while for us to be tended in such a way that we break through all that was burying us in distraction, shame, guilt, and fear. Peter and I needed three petitions to be reminded that we were worthy of love, sometimes it takes a lot more. It takes a while to break loose and…

   We Can't Doubt God- Easter 2C

   I'm not saying we shouldn't doubt God. I'm saying we CAN'T. It's not possible. If we could doubt God, then it would mean that faith was something we could accomplish, or it was something at which we could fail. It would deny the truth of the nature of faith... it is a gift. Sermon Preached by...

   When The Dead Don't Stay Dead- Easter Sunday

   There is only one certainty in life... Death. We will all die. And yet, on Easter, we share the promise that the dead don't stay dead. This story of resurrection challenges everything our world holds certain. This story of resurrection changes everything. This story of resurrection rolls away the...

   God's Turn- Lent 5C

   So much of our Lenten journey can seem like it's about us. So much of our conversation around "TURN" can seem like it's our work. And sometimes it is. Sometimes we need to be challenged and convicted, moved to action in God's name. But sometimes.... It's God's Turn. Actually, it's always God's...

   Manure Turned Fertilizer- Lent 3C

   Did you see what happens in this story? Not only is it a parable with a clear call to action, calling for repentance that we might bear faithful fruit, but Jesus acknowledges the manure and its role in life. This is the week of weird google searches as I prepare for a sermon, but I searched this...

   The World Turned Upside Down- Lent 2C

   There were a million different ways to take this text. There are endless ways that the Gospel of Jesus Christ turns our world upside down, and I could have highlighted any one of them. But after this week, any message that didn't address and confront White Supremacy just seemed inauthentic to me....

    Twisting Or Turning- 1st Sunday In Lent

    Throughout this season of Lent we will be called to turn back to God’s word, seeking the ways in which it gives us life and sustains us for the journey. However, we cannot turn to God’s Word with a desire to love only THIS far, and no further. God’s love is reaching out, farther and farther than...
