Resisting Personal Bias
19 Jun, 2023
This week we're beginning a sermon series on the Spirituality of Resistance. That may sound odd to some of you, but if you consider Jesus for a moment, he was a resistor. He resisted exclusion, injustice, empire, violence, prejudice, religious...
Longing for Wholeness
12 Jun, 2023
Yesterday's message on the woman at the well in John 4 was the last in a series on the Nameless in the Gospels. I preached this sermon "in character" as the woman to help us to think more deeply about who she was, what her struggles might be...
The First Communion
05 Jun, 2023
We’ve heard the story of Jesus feeding the multitude many times which isn’t surprising since the miraculous meal clearly occupied a central place in the oral tradition about Jesus. It is the only miracle story found in all four gospels (Matthew...
Standing Tall
30 May, 2023
Who is the bent-over woman in Luke 13? Just another nameless character in the gospels who point to the extraordinary abilities of Jesus? I don't think so. I think it is time she received due recognition as an archetype of strength and...
Facing Forward
22 May, 2023
So, we continue our series on The Nameless in the Gospels with a story that involves three nameless travelers in Luke 9. In this story, we have three interactions between Jesus and some travelers. The first traveler says “I’ll follow you...

15 May, 2023
In our continuing journey with the nameless characters in the gospels, we find ourselves with a very special mother on Mother’s Day. Known only as the Canaanite woman, she stands as a symbol and example for mothers and parents everywhere, even...
To See or Not to See
08 May, 2023
Taken at face value, the story in John 9 is simply about Jesus healing a blind person, who, by the way, wasn’t born blind because of anything they or their parents did. Clearly, that must’ve been a “thing” back then. To tackle this story at a...
Generosity of Heart
01 May, 2023
(Sermon Series: The Nameless in the Gospels 2/6) I wonder what your first gut reaction is to the story of the widow's mite (Mark 12:41-44), where the poor widow has just given her last two coins to the temple. Personally, I'm a little appalled...
Re-Member Me
24 Apr, 2023
(Sermon Series: The Nameless in the Gospels 1/6) There are many stories in the Gospels that include people who are never named. For six weeks we'll be delving deeper into a few of these characters (excluding the parables) to see how they might...
Living as Easter People
17 Apr, 2023
Easter is sometimes mistaken as a one-day event, whereas Easter is really an experience we can cultivate and live every day. To live as Easter People is to believe in resurrection, to believe that there is life after every death – large and...
