Passage of Awareness
19 May, 2025
We began a series on Easter Passages to try to discover the spiritual path the disciples took from “Easter” to Pentecost when they were finally ready to receive the power of the Holy Spirit and become his witnesses. Two weeks ago we talked...
The Most Neglected Mother
12 May, 2025
“Where were you when I created the earth?... Who held back the sea behind partitions when it burst forth from my womb, when I created clouds as the earth’s raiment and thick darkness as its swaddling clothes… Whose womb gives life to ice or...
Passage of Waiting
05 May, 2025
Well, I hit my after-Easter-let-down this week. I got carried a week longer by the Music Service and our speakers last week, then I hit the proverbial wall. Many pastors I’ve known (and myself many years) take the Sunday after Easter off...
The Character of Resurrection
21 Apr, 2025
We’ve been talking about resistance for the last five weeks. A spiritual and social resistance led by Jesus to try and create a better world. And what did he get for it? Crucifixion. That may be the one verifiable, undeniable historical fact...
Joy as Resistance
14 Apr, 2025
Award winning author, Evette Dionne, said, “Joy is a revolutionary force. We need it as much as we need anger because it is joy that will help keep us in these bodies long enough to enact justice.” Why? Because it unifies, lifts spirits,...

07 Apr, 2025
G.K. Chesterton once said, “Christianity has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and not tried.” Why is it difficult? Because the foundation of Christianity is supposed to be love . People found this too difficult, and...
Opening Eyes to the Truth
31 Mar, 2025
Welcome to the resistance! As I’ve been saying this Lent, Jesus’ movement was more than a spiritual revival, it was a resistance movement to the powers and principalities that were oppressing and marginalizing the people. This emphasis has...
Defiance Against Dehumanization
24 Mar, 2025
It seems to me that the main strategy in any oppressive behavior is to dehumanize the people one wants to oppress. This means that they are treated as less than human with a lack of empathy, compassion, respect, inclusion, or intent to care or...
Calling a Spade a Spade
17 Mar, 2025
To begin our Lenten series, “Welcome to the Resistance,” we find ourselves in the Temple with Jesus turning over the tables (Mark 11:15-18). Let’s start with a little background. Scholars are clear that the activities in the temple were both...
Finding God in Deep Listening
03 Mar, 2025
Listening… in the story of the transfiguration in Mark 9:2-8 we hear an injunction of the divine, a voice from the clouds that said definitively, “This is my Beloved… listen to him.” We’ll come back to the concept of listening to Jesus, for now...
