Sermons
Sunday January 12, 2020 – (Matthew 3:13-17) – I think the Baptism of the Lord refers to an event even bigger than all of those. All the elements are there. The Epiphany of Christ’s Baptism helps us reflect all the way back to the waters of the Flood.
Sunday January 5, 2020 – (Matthew 2:1-12) – The point of the Three King’s has nothing to do with their three-ness, their kingly-ness, or their Orient-ation. The point is…they’re not Jews.

Sunday December 1st, 2019 -(Isaiah 2: 1-5)
Sunday November 24, 2019 – (Colossians 1:11-10) – I asked a friend about this whole Kanye “Jesus is King” thing. “It doesn’t matter,” he said. “If Christ really is King, we’re asking the wrong questions.”
Sunday November 17, 2019 – (2 Thessalonians 3:6-13) – The problem with indulgences wasn’t that the church was charging too much for salvation. It’s that the church could never possibly charge enough.

Sunday, November 3, 2019 – (Luke 19:1-10) Remember Jason, the dugout diving super-fan guy? He started coming to church with his mom a few years back. He hated it. It was boring and his bed was a lot more inviting. But this one night I got a phone call from another young adult in our ministry…

Sunday, September 29, 2019 – So woe to those self-indulgent women, those rich who store up treasures on earth, those false teachers, that cruel chaplain. They’re the false ones.

Sunday, September 1, 2019 – It’s ironic that the hope of a people like us who avoid the reality of death comes from a cloud of ancient dead people who point to a God who they say died for us. To many, myself included on many days, it’s hard to believe. But like Rachel, and like…
Sunday, August 25, 2019 – The kind of asylum Mayra sought for herself and her children was a peace the world could not give. Neither her home nation, nor the borderlands, nor the United States could grant her what she sought. But that does not mean Mayra was without asylum…(Hebrews 11:1-3, 11:8-16)
Sunday, August 18, 2019 – The professor to the Hebrews’ students are people who all live in a world where there is no forgiveness without blood. But we don’t live in that world anymore. We only like blood when it is on HBO. And, the truth is, we’re just not that religious anymore. Or are…
