Sunday’s Sermon Today: Are You Convinced? (Luke 16:19-31)
Imagine the most luxurious house you’ve ever seen. Was it in a movie? Was it watching Cribs or The Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous? It’s the kind of house that screams excess, that has more rooms than you could visit on a weekend … Continue reading
Sunday’s Sermon Today: Get Found (Luke 15:1-10)
We think we get Jesus. Jesus, who performs miracles of healing. Jesus, who feeds many. Jesus, who teaches. Jesus, who dies one dark Friday and rises again on a Sunday. But our scripture today drops us right into the center of the … Continue reading
What Kind Of Friend Are You? (A Mustard Seed Musing) (Luke 5:17-26)
There’s nothing more intimidating than preaching to a chapel full of pastors. Well, maybe preaching your ordination sermon to them, or having the bishop show up. But on Tuesday, that’s exactly what I’ll have to do at our District meeting. … Continue reading
Sunday’s Sermon Today: Are You Trustworthy? (Luke 16:1-13)
I saw two signs on the way back from Richmond one day. “We are you going, heaven or hell?” read one. “We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,” intoned the other with a white Jesus standing on … Continue reading
Sunday’s Sermon Today: My Brother’s Keeper (Luke 10:25-37)
I love Jesus’ interactions with people, one-on-one. Sure, maybe he was standing there in the middle of the synagogue or field, and someone challenges him, but it’s Jesus and this person, head to head. Sometimes, the other person wants to … Continue reading
Sunday’s Sermon Today: Forgive Us, We’re Sorry (Matthew 18:23-35)
Malcolm Gladwell is not a person inclined to believe in things he can’t see. The author of The Tipping Point and several other books about how we look at the world, Gladwell’s recent book, David & Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, & The Art of … Continue reading
Sunday’s Sermon Today: Who’s Coming To Dinner? (John 6:1-15)
My dad tells stories about Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and Easter at his grandmother’s house. His grandfather was a baker, and cooking was an extreme sport when it came to feeding the whole family. There were four children and their spouses, … Continue reading

Sunday’s Sermon Today: One Giant Step (Matthew 14:22-33)
Peter is the man. He isn’t always the best he can be, remember he’s equally the guy Jesus says he will build the church on, AND the guy who will deny Jesus three times in Jesus’s greatest hour of need. … Continue reading

Sunday’s Sermon Today: Buried Treasure (Matthew 13:44-46)
Have you ever seen something that you just had to have? Maybe it was a purchase, like that piece of art or that shiny new car. How do you go about acquiring it? Will you beg, borrow, or steal? Will … Continue reading
