Ash Wednesday 2022

March 2, 2022.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Here’s what I said: I worked most closely with Isaiah 58.1-12.

Mountaintops and Mess, February 2022

February 27, 2022.Reading time less than 1 minute.

I normally really enjoy where these readings fall. A last glorious moment before the hard questions of Lent. But as we watch various regions drop their health measures and as we watch the horrors of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine unfold, glory seems far away. Here’s what I said: I worked most closely with Luke 9.28-43a.

Preparing, February 2022

February 6, 2022.Reading time less than 1 minute.

This sermon is a combination of two years of pandemic, an annual meeting, and so much frustration. And Peter’s act of hope. I worked with Luke 5.1-11.

On the way, January 2022

January 30, 2022.Reading time less than 1 minute.

I love this passage. (I have a love for bits of Scripture that others don’t like.)

Love Poured Out, January 2022

January 16, 2022.Reading time less than 1 minute.

The Heavens Opened, Jan 2022

January 9, 2022.Reading time less than 1 minute.

This sermon is what happens when I’m reflecting on God’s proclamation about Jesus being Beloved while Glennon Doyle’s first podcast of the new year begins with a take down of resolutions. I worked with Luke 3.15-17, 21-22.

Full Grace and Glory, January 2022

January 2, 2022.Reading time less than 1 minute.

I love this passage from John. I think it’s one of the first passages I memorized (even if only roughly). For years I dreaded preaching it at Christmas, but I’ve come to love hearing it’s majesty next to the imagery of a baby in a manger. For this is God. I worked with John 1.1-18

Precocious, Christmas 1 2021

December 26, 2021.Reading time less than 1 minute.

In this morning’s Gospel we jump 12 years from, checks notes, yesterday. I love Jesus’s knowledge that this is where he belongs, in his father’s house. I love the love (and frustration) Mary and Joseph feel. I worked with Luke 2.41-52.
