Easter Continued... Now What?
15 Apr, 2024
In the Gospel of John, a gospel known for its mysticism and metaphor, its unique stories, and its sometimes significantly different versions of events, Peter is an interesting character. He wants to be all in, and yet by his actions he...
The Gift of Hope
01 Apr, 2024
I always try to be honest with you and preach with as much integrity as possible, which sometimes means that I’m going to tell you that I struggle with certain topics, certain days. This is one of them. I struggle with Easter. Seems odd, doesn’...
Day of Tears
30 Mar, 2024
When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a young donkey, people lined the streets shouting “Hosanna!” which is a Hebrew expression of two words meaning “Save, I [we] pray.” As I said on Sunday, those shouts had absolutely nothing to do...
The Gift of Justice
25 Mar, 2024
What is justice? Too many people mean punishment when they say they want justice . Justice is a righting of the universe, it equalizes, makes safer, makes more compassionate, more accepting. Justice is distributive, restorative, not retributive...

The Gift of Belonging
04 Mar, 2024
This Lent we are talking about the Gifts of Jesus . One of the most beautiful gifts he shared was the gift of belonging. For this message we read the story of Jesus healing the bleeding woman and the twelve-year-old girl in March 5:21-43. Now,...
The Gift of Forgiveness
26 Feb, 2024
Taken literally, the story in the Gospel of Mark of the paralyzed person being lowered through a roof to Jesus is pretty farfetched. Imagine 2,000 years ago trying to get a paralyzed person up on a roof in the middle of a crowd, then to cut a...
The Gifts of Ethics & Integrity
19 Feb, 2024
In every age there are the select few – the mystics and the prophets – who go where the rest of us hesitate, or are afraid to go. They are the special few who see the sacredness of all people – ALWAYS. They can’t be bought by the lure of wealth...
The Way of Wu Wei
05 Feb, 2024
One of my favorite non-Christian spiritual concepts is wu wei, it is a Chinese word that means non-doing or effortless doing . Daoism is a Chinese Philosophy about the Dao , or the Way of the Universe. Think about it as the Life Energy that...
