No Separation
27 Oct, 2025
Yesterday we celebrated the Day of Remembrance. It is a time to light candles in memory of a loved one who’s passed away in the last year and be grateful for their time in our lives. It is also one of the few times I tackle the subject of death...
Woe to the Flattered
13 Oct, 2025
Today we’re talking about the last woe: Woe to you when all speak well of you… or Woe to the Flattered, as I titled my sermon (it fit on the line in the bulletin better). It seems like an odd thing to say. What’s so wrong about people speaking...
Woe to the Rich
06 Oct, 2025
We continue our series on Luke 6 and Jesus’ blessings and woes by looking at three woes. Woe to the rich, the full and those who laugh… I read this and I wonder, is Jesus pointing a finger at me? Do you ever feel this way? After all, even if we...
Blessed are the Persecuted
29 Sep, 2025
The gospels at times are challenging because they are layered with meaning. Too often we choose to read them literally, at face value. It’s certainly easier than digging into the context, translations, audiences and logic. The blessing we’re...
Blessed Are The Poor
22 Sep, 2025
For the next four weeks we’re going to be talking about Jesus’ speech in Luke 6 on Blessings and Woes , which is the prelude for his Sermon on the Plain . We balk at some of these. Some of them make us uncomfortable. Some are hard to understand...

The Magic Ring
08 Sep, 2025
The wisdom book of Ecclesiastes was written by a person called simply Qoheleth. Qoheleth (interestingly enough, a feminine word) was the Hebrew word for someone who gathers other together, in this case like a teacher or preacher. In...
What's in Your Purse?
02 Sep, 2025
Let me begin with a wisdom story from a Sufi writer (remember Jesus appears in the Quran as well as the Bible): A Sufi writer once said of Jesus that sometimes people would make fun of Jesus or curse him aloud, but that he would always answer...
I Need Patience - NOW!
25 Aug, 2025
Patience… How many of you consider yourselves to be very patient people? I try, but sometimes I feel like I may have been there on the day they were handing it out, but I probably left because the line was too long! Patience is what the apostle...
The Connections We Make
18 Aug, 2025
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 is clear… two people are better than one. Together you get more work done, you support one another, you can keep each other warm, protect one another and are stronger. Yep. We know this. And we’ve talked about long-term,...
