Intention: Maintaining Balance
20 Mar, 2023
In Mark 6:45-52, the author tells a wonderful story about Jesus walking across the water and subsequently calming the wind. Now, we know that people can’t walk on water, and certainly not in the midst of a strong wind and raging waves. Hence,...
Intention: Seeking Authenticity
13 Mar, 2023
What does it mean to be authentic? That was a rabbit’s hole if I ever went down one! Who knew? The topic seemed like a good one when I chose it a month or more ago. Intentionally Living Authentically is the original title I gave this sermon,...

Better Together
23 Jan, 2023

New Year, New Wine
09 Jan, 2023
So, my partner and I don’t really fall into the category of big New Year’s Eve celebrators. We didn’t stay up until midnight, we didn’t even watch the ball drop in New York. It’s been years since we’ve celebrated with friends. But this doesn’t...
Keeping Joseph in Christmas
19 Dec, 2022
John Shea talks about not turning a story into an idol. He says, "It is merely a gate they open so we may go inside.” So, let’s go inside the nativity story in Matthew to consider Joseph for a few minutes. Joseph was a fine, upstanding Jewish...
Keeping Merry in Christmas
12 Dec, 2022
Erma Bombeck once wrote an article entitled “The Lost Christmas.” It began like this: “There is nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child…” Do you remember experiencing the wonder and magic of Christmas...
